Diskette Drive Signal Cable
A two-connector diskette drive signal cable comes attached
to the system board and to the standard 1.44-MB diskette
drive. If your system comes standard with an Iomega Ditto
tape backup unit, the signal cable has three connectors.
Depending on your system, installation of a second diskette
drive may require the replacement of the existing diskette
drive signal cable with a three-connector cable. Connect an
optional accessible 5 1/4-inch device to the middle
connector on the three-connector diskette drive signal cable.
The colored edge of the cable goes to pin 1 on the cable
connector. Align the red edge of the cable with pin 1 (the
notched end) on the device connector.
The standard IDE hard drive is set as the master
device on the primary IDE connector. The standard
CD-ROM/DVD drive is the master device on the
secondary IDE connector.
