Connecting Diskette and IDE Devices

To connect diskette drives, perform the following:
1) Open the device bay and power supply subassembly.
2) Connect supplied ribbon cable to appropriate device.
NOTE If only one IDE device is installed, make sure to use the ribbon cable connector
furthest from the main logic board connector. Also, when having IDE drives installed
in both internal drive bays, make sure that the ribbon cable has no twists between
the two IDE drives.
Make sure cable is connected with correct orientation. Most cables and sockets are
keyed so they cannot be connected backwards. If the cable or device is not keyed,
, pin 1 of cable has to be connected to pin 1 of device's socket.
Pin 1 of cable is on edge with colored stripe. Pin 1 of device's socket should be marked with a
number or symbol at one end of socket or with a number or symbol printed on circuit board near one
end of socket. If necessary, refer to the device's documentation for pin 1 orientation.
3) Connect appropriate power cable to device.
4) Close device bay and subassembly.
5) Replace and lock the cover.
6) Connect external devices and restore power.
7) Run BIOS Setup utility to configure computer.
Refer to BIOS Setup Utility.
