DISKETTE DRIVE
Up to two diskette drives are supported in the system. The installed drive is connected by a single
ribbon cable with one drive connector. An optional cable with two drive connectors allows the
connection of two drives. The system refers to the diskette drives as A and B. Drive A is for the
first drive, B is for a second optional diskette drive. The diskette drive cable plugs directly into the
system board (connector J5). Typically both diskette drives are terminated. See Section 3, Op-
tions, for installing an optional 5 1/4-inch diskette drive.
Specifications for the diskette drives are provided in Appendix B, Specifications.
HARD DISK DRIVE
The system provides IDE/PCI interface connectors on the system board. The system board sup-
ports up to two IDE devices on the primary connector and two IDE devices on the
secondary connector. The system unit provides one storage slot for a 3 1/2-inch hard disk (1-
inch height), and one available storage slot for an optional 5 1/4-inch device (1.6-inch height).
See Section 3, Options, for installing an optional hard disk drive.
