Diskette Drive

A single diskette drive is supported in the system. The installed 1.44-MB

The diskette drive cable plugs directly into the system board. There are no
switches or jumpers that need to be set and the diskette drive is terminated.
Diskette drive specifications are given in Section 9, "Specifications."

Hard Drive

All systems ship with one internal 3 1/2-inch hard drive (1-inch high, thin-

system. Drives are available in 4.3-GB, 8.4-GB, and 12.9-GB IDE Ultra DMA
models.
The system board has two IDE/PCI interface connectors (primary and
secondary) for connecting IDE storage devices. A three-connector IDE cable
connects to the IDE hard drive and the primary connector on the system board.
A second three-connector IDE cable connects to the IDE CD-ROM drive and
the secondary connector on the system board. Each connector supports up to
two IDE devices.
An optional second IDE hard drive can be added to the primary channel. If the
second hard drive is installed, it connects to the middle connector on the IDE
cable.
Hard drive jumper settings are given in Section 2, "System Configuration."
Connector locations for the IDE hard drive connectors on the system board are
given in Section 4, "System Board." Hard drive specifications are given in
