Installing Options 4-37
The accessible bays are not limited to devices with removable
media. For example, you can install a hard drive with a
5 1/4-inch frame in one of these bays.
A 5 1/4-inch bay can also accommodate a 3 1/2-inch device if
the device is housed in a 5 1/4-inch frame.
Preparing the Device
Before installing a storage device in the system, follow any
preinstallation instructions that come with the device. For
example, check the following information:
Diskette drive — remove any termination on an optional
diskette drive. See the documentation that comes with the
drive.
IDE drive — check the jumper settings on the device
before installing it. See the documentation that comes with
the device for jumper setting information.
CD-ROM drive must be set correctly as the first (master)
or second (slave) device on the secondary IDE channel.
See “Connecting Device Cables” for more information.

include:
diskette drive signal cable
