Device Preparation
Before installing a storage device in the system, follow any preinstallation instructions that come with the
device. For example, check the following:
Diskette drive ¾ remove any termination jumpers on the optional diskette drive. See the documentation that
comes with the drive.
IDE device ¾ check the jumper settings on the device before installing it. See the documentation that comes
with the device for jumper setting information.
An IDE device, such as an IDE hard disk or IDE CD-ROM reader, must be set correctly as the first (master) or
second (slave) device on the IDE channel.
The standard IDE hard disk is set as the master device on the primary IDE connector. The standard CD-ROM
reader is the master device on the secondary IDE connector.
Installation hardware — check to be certain you have the rails necessary to secure the drive in an accessible
drive slot.
Device Cables
The cables used for installation of optional storage devices include:
diskette drive signal cable
IDE signal cables
system power cables.
The addition of a diskette drive does not require the replacement of the existing diskette drive cable. The
addition of an IDE device does not require the replacement of the existing IDE cable. The existing diskette
and IDE cables each support two devices.
Cable connector locations are shown in Figure 3-16.
