Installation/Support Tips Installing Diskette Drives Q Make sure that the drive type has been correctly selected in the SETUP program. 0 Make sure jumper J13 is set to position 1-2 to enable the diskette drive controller. Installing Hard Disk Drives If you are installing a drive that cannot use the embedded IDE interface, such as an ESDI hard disk drive, it is recommended that you use a 16-bit, AT-type hard disk controller. If you install a non-IDE hard disk drive and controller card, you must set jumpers J14 and J16 to position 2-3 to disable the built-in IDE hard disk drive interface. Also be sure to remove the hard disk drive ribbon connector from the system board. When installing a hard disk drive, see the hard disk drive type tables on pages 6 and 7 and use the auto-sensing feature in SETUP to select the correct type number for the drive. If the auto-sensing feature does not produce a match for the drive, you can define your own drive type by selecting User Def 1 or User Def 2 as the type and entering the drive's exact parameters.

If this does not work properly, select low speed by pressing Ctrl Alt - (using the numeric keypad).
