Drive Cabling Information; Replacing The Diskette Drive - Gateway 7250R System Manual

Drive cabling information

The system includes three different types of drive cables. Each drive cable is
clearly labeled, indicating the cable type and showing which end to connect
to the appropriate connector on the system board and which end to connect
to the drive.
Use the diskette drive connector cable to connect the diskette drive.
Use the standard IDE connector cable to connect the CD drive.
Use the SCSI LVD cable to connect the hot-plug backplane to the
integrated SCSI controller on the system board.

Replacing the diskette drive

To replace the diskette drive:
