Drives

Your system includes three different types of drive cables and possibly one 
additional cable, if required for the options ordered. 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 IDE devices such as 
CD drives and standard IDE hard drives.

■

Use the SCSI LVD cable (2 connectors) to connect the hot-plug backplane 
to the integrated SCSI controller on the system board or to an add-on 
SCSI controller card.

■

Use the SCSI LVD cable (5 connectors with built-in terminator) to connect 
optional SCSI devices to the integrated SCSI controller on the system 
board or to an add-on SCSI controller card. (This cable is optional.)

The diskette drive is near the bottom of the stack of drive bays.

Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if 
installed), and all external peripheral devices.

Observe all safety and static electricity precautions. (See “Preventing static 
electricity discharge” on page 22.)

Remove the bezel. (See “Removing the bezel” on page 25.)

Locate the 3.5-inch diskette drive.

Remove the power and data cables from the back of the drive, noting 
their locations and orientations. (You will reconnect these cables after you 
install the new drive.)
