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
remove any termination on the optional diskette drive. See the
documentation that comes with the drive.
IDE device
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 (in hard disk models) is set as the master device on
the primary IDE connector. The CD-ROM reader in multimedia and Zip drive
configurations is the master device on the secondary IDE connector. When a Zip
drive is installed, it is connected to the primary IDE connector as a slave device
(while the CD-ROM reader is the master on the secondary IDE connector).
Device Cables
The cables used for installation of optional storage devices include:
diskette drive signal cable
IDE signal cables
system power cables.
