LABELING THE DISKETTE DRIVES
Your controller (IBM 5285, 5286, or 5288) is prelabeled during manufacturing. The
following procedure applies only to the IBM 5281 and/or 5282 with diskette drives.
If you do not have an IBM 5281 or 5282 to label, but you do have a printer, go to
Labeling the Printer
later in this section. If you do not have a printer, go to
Section 8 and verify your system.
1.
Look at the diskette drive cable.
On the cable is a label with the diskette drive address. If you see one address,
you have one diskette drive.

If you see two addresses, you have two diskette drives. For the IBM 5281, the first
address represents the left diskette drive and the second address represents
the right diskette drive.
