Upgrades and Options
Removable Media Devices and Diskette Drives
An IDE CD-ROM reader is always mounted in bay A.
Other IDE or SCSI optional removable media devices
can be installed in peripheral bays B and C. Optional
devices should be installed in the first available bay
from the top (bay A). Figure 5-14 illustrates the
recommended removable media configuration. These
bays are intended to hold tape or other removable
media drives.
Notice: When using SCSI optional devices, the system
board internal SCSI termination resistors (see Figure 5-
8) must be removed and the SCSI termination resistors
must be installed in the last SCSI drive of the daisy
chain cabling. All other SCSI devices must have their
terminators removed.
Notice: When using an IDE optional device, the device
jumper must be set as the slave device.
Narrow SCSI drives in the 5 1/4-inch bays receive
control signals from a fast/wide SCSI-2 controller on the
system board.
Hard disk drives cannot be installed in a 5 1/4-inch
external bay because the drive generates EMI, is more
susceptible to ESD, and would not have sufficient
cooling.
A 1.44 MB diskette drive is always mounted in bay D.
A second device can be installed in bay E.
