Drive cabling information
The system includes five different types of drive cables. 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 IDE DMA-66 cable to connect DMA-66-compatible hard drives.
Use the SCSI SE cable to connect single-ended SCSI devices. This cable 
requires termination, either on the device or as a plug-in terminator on 
the cable.
Use the SCSI LVD cable to connect the hot-plug backplane to the 
integrated SCSI controller on the system board.
Replacing the diskette drive
The diskette drive is near the bottom of the stack of drive bays. If the diskette 
drive included with the system fails, replace the drive.
 To replace the diskette drive:
1
Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord and all other external 
peripheral devices.
2
3
Locate the 3.5-inch diskette drive. 
4
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.)
The 3.5-inch diskette drive is secured in the chassis by a set of removable 
rails. The rails let the drive slide into and out of the guides in the front 
bay.
