Guidelines for connecting diskette interface signal cables Your system board has one connector for attaching diskette interface signal cables, but you can install two diskette interface drives to this connector if you have the proper cables. If you are installing a second diskette drive or a tape drive, follow these guidelines: 1. Replace the diskette-drive signal cable attached to the diskette drive connector with a diskette-drive signal cable that has two connectors. Remember to reconnect the factory-installed drive to the new cable. 2. Do not change any settings on the factory-installed diskette drive. 3. Install the new drive. 4. After completing the installation of the drive, start the Setup utility and verify that the drive parameter settings in the Devices and I/O Ports menu are correct. See "BIOS Setup configuration" on page 4-1 for details. When you have finished installing the diskette drive, enter Setup to make sure that the drive parameter setting is correct. See "Loading the default settings" on page 47. Adding and removing adapter cards and drives 6-9
