The integrated flexible disk controller supports two flexible disk drives. The
integrated Enhanced IDE hard disk controller is on the PCI bus and
dedicated for hard disk drives. This is the grey connector on the system
board. The cable has two connectors, allowing two Fast IDE hard disks to be
connected (a CD-ROM can be connected to this cable, but 32-bit disk access
must be disabled).
The second IDE controller is on the ISA bus and is dedicated to CD-ROM
drives. This is the red connector on the system board. The cable has one
connector allowing one CD-ROM to be connected (this is the recommended
configuration for a CD-ROM).
The PC has three front accessible mass storage shelves:
slim top shelf (1-inch high) for 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch devices.
half-height middle shelf for 5.25-inch devices.
slim bottom shelf (1-inch high) for 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch devices.
The additional 1-inch high bottom shelf can be used to install any of
the new 1-inch high front-access devices. Tape drives and 5.25-inch
flexible disk drives are now becoming available in the industry with
the 1-inch high form factor.
The following mounting rails can be ordered for front access drives:
D2880A 5.25-inch disk drive mounting rails (five pairs of rails)
D3566A 3.5-inch disk drive mounting rails (five pairs of rails).
