Drive type

Cabling instructions

5.25" floppy disk
or FTD Travan
tape drive

These drives use a ribbon signal cable with three connectors. This
signal cable must be connected between the signal connector on
the rear of the floppy or tape drive, the 3.5" diskette drive, and
the diskette/floppy disk interface connector on the motherboard
(usually marked

FLOPPY

).

ATA-PI CD-ROM
drive

The drive is supplied with two cables: a ribbon signal cable
(which connects to the motherboard’s secondary ATA/IDE
interface, usually marked

CDROM

) and a CD-audio cable (which

connects to the motherboard in an MS or LS system).

SCSI QIC tape or
DDS-2 tape drive

SCSI upgrade kits from authorized suppliers include a suitable
ribbon signal cable. This cable should be connected between the
SCSI adapter card and the rear of the drive. The illustration
below shows a typical routing of the cable.
