Diskette Drive A and Diskette Drive B identify the type of diskette drive installed in your computer.

NOTE: To ensure commonality across the Dell PowerEdge family of servers, the BIOS used in the PowerEdge 4350 system is the same as that used in other PowerEdge servers. Thus, the PowerEdge 4350 system BIOS provides support for dual diskette drive configurations—as in other PowerEdge servers—even though there is no avail- able slot in the PowerEdge 4350 chassis to install a second diskette drive.

Diskette Drive A is the 3.5-inch diskette drive installed in the vertical drive slot to the left of the hard-disk drives. Slot space for a second diskette drive is not provided, so Diskette Drive B is set to Not Installed.

The available settings for these options are:

3.5 Inch, 720 KB

3.5 Inch, 1.44 MB

5.25 Inch, 360 KB

5.25 Inch, 1.2 MB
