Connecting the Floppy Drive to the Floppy Connector

Some Ascentia M computers ship from the factory with both a floppy drive and a CD-ROM drive included. These systems also ship with a floppy cable.

Turn off your computer before you install or remove devices from the SmartBay or connect or disconnect the floppy cable and drive.

To use the floppy drive and the CD-ROM drive at the same time, install the CD-ROM drive in the SmartBay. Then attach the floppy drive to the external floppy connector. Attach one end of the floppy cable to the floppy drive and the other to the external floppy port on the computer (Figure 11).
