Diskette Drive Signal Cable
A diskette drive signal cable comes attached to the riser board and to the
standard 1.44-MB diskette drive.
The colored edge of the cable goes to pin 1 on the cable connector. Align
the red edge of the cable with pin 1 (the notched end) on the drive
connector.
The typical three-connector diskette drive signal cable has a middle
connector that is not used in this system.
IDE Signal Cables
Systems with an IDE hard drive come with a three-connector IDE
interface cable attached to the primary IDE connector. Some systems
come with a second three-connector IDE cable connected to the second
IDE drive (such as the CD-ROM drive) and to the secondary IDE
connector.
If the IDE cable is not keyed with a connector tab, align the colored edge
of the cable with the pin 1 side of the drive connector.
Internal SCSI Device Cable
Systems with a SCSI adapter board come with a four-connector 68-pin
SCSI device cable. The cable connects an internal SCSI device available
from NECC to the 68-pin internal connector on the SCSI adapter board.
This four-connector cable can be used to connect a second or third
internal SCSI device to the adapter board.
PC Card Adapter Cable
Two PCMCIA-compliant cables come with the PC card adapter available
in some systems. The cables are bound together, and connect to the dual
PCMCIA ports on the PC card and the connectors on the back of the PC
card adapter.
