a hurry to get started, you can probably unplug the power connector from your

5.25" floppy drive (if you have one) and plug it into your CD-ROM drive. You

will be able to use your drive until you have the opportunity to buy a "splitter"

or "Y-connector". (Of course, you will lose the use of your 5.25" drive until

you buy a splitter/Y-connector.)

If your computer has only a 3.5" floppy disk drive, you may find that you do

not have a power connector that is the correct size to plug into your CD-ROM

drive. Once again, you can turn to your local computer store for a splitter to

solve this problem.

A third cable, an audio cable, must be used if there is a soundboard in your

system. This cable runs from the four-pin audio output connector on the rear

panel of your drive to your soundboard. See page 36 for more information

about audio cables.

Installation of your internal drive is now complete, skip to page 38.

YOUR METHOD:

If you are installing a single UltraPleX and you have no other SCSI peripherals

attached to your system, you should leave the switches, dial, and terminator

(found on the rear panel) of your drive at their factory settings. If you do have

additional SCSI peripherals (e.g., scanner, printer) attached to your computer,

you may need to change your dial and terminator settings. See Chapters 6 and

7 for information on how to change these settings.

If you are installing a single UltraPleX external drive, connect it as shown on

the next page.
