Before you install a storage device in the system, follow
any preinstallation instructions that come with the device.
For example, check the following items for these devices:
n
Diskette drive — remove any termination on the op-
tional diskette drive. See the documentation that comes
with the drive.
n
PCI/IDE device — check the jumper settings on the de-
vice before you install it. See the documentation that
comes with the device for jumper setting information.
A 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 a PCI/IDE channel.
The standard IDE hard disk is set as the master device
on the primary PCI/IDE channel. The CD-ROM reader
in the multimedia configurations is the master device
on the secondary PCI/IDE channel.
Systems ship with the following cables:
n
a diskette drive signal cable (supports one device)
n
a PCI/IDE signal cable on the primary IDE connector
(supports one device)
n
a PCI/IDE signal cable on the secondary IDE connector
(supports one device)
