No video or beeps onbootup: usually means the cable is on back
wards.
Hard drive lights are constantly on: bad IDE cable or defective drives/
motherboard. Try another HDD.
Hard drives do not power up: check power cables and cabling.
May also be a bad power supply or IDE drive.
Connecting Floppy Drives
Pin 1 on the floppy cable is usually denoted by a red or colored stripe down
one side of the cable (see Figure 2-14 on the following page). Most of the
current floppy drives on the market require that the colored stripe be posi-
tioned so that it is right next to the power connector. In most cases, there will
be a key pin on the cable which will force you to connect the cable properly.
Drive A: is usually attached to the end of the cable with the twist in it. Drive B:
is usually connected to the middle of the cable. Refer to your installation
instructions or call your dealer if you are unsure about attaching floppy drives.
Refer to Figure 2-14 on the following page for a detailed anatomy of the floppy
cable. Remember, you can only have 2 floppy drives connected at any given
time.
