OPTIONAL STORAGE DEVICES
This subsection includes procedures for installing optional 5 1/4-inch and 3 1/2-inch storage de-
vices in the system unit. The optional NEC diskette and hard disk drives are described first, then
procedures for installing the devices follow.
5 1/4-Inch Diskette Drive
A 3 1/2-inch diskette drive comes standard in all systems. The drive is connected by a single rib-
bon cable with one drive connector. A second 5 1/4-inch diskette drive can be added but re-
quires an optional cable with two drive connectors. The first diskette drive (3 1/2- inch) is drive
A, the second diskette drive is drive B. The diskette drive cable plugs directly into the system
board.
The diskette drive controller is incorporated on the system board. The controller contains the cir-
cuits and control functions needed to support up to two diskette drives.
5 1/4-Inch Diskette Drive Settings
Specifications for the 5 1/4-inch, 1.2-MB diskette drive are listed in Appendix B, Specifications.
The standard .44-MB diskette drive settings are shown in Figure Section 3-16. The settings for
the optional 1.2-MB diskette drive are shown in Figure Section 3-17.
When installing two diskette drives, both diskette drives are addressed to drive 1. The
terminating resistor jumper should not be removed from the 5 1/4-inch drive. Both diskette drives
(standard and optional) are normally terminated.
