NEC LC1400 manual Removable Media Devices

Removable Media Devices

A variety of IDE and SCSI removable media devices can be installed in peripheral bays A, B, C, D, and E. An IDE CD-ROM is always mounted in bay A. A 3.5-inch diskette drive is always mounted in bay C. Other devices should be installed in the first available bay from the top (bay B). Contact your sales representative or dealer for a list of approved devices.

If you are adding or removing an IDE removable media device, consider the following:

nThe system board supports a primary and secondary IDE channel connector. Each of these supports two devices, for a total of four IDE devices. Your system includes the primary channel IDE interface cable.

nA first (master) device and a second (slave) device are supported on both the primary and secondary IDE connector. The device configuration, master versus slave, is determined by jumpers on the device. Cable Sense (CS) device configuration is not supported.

nYour system includes a three-connector IDE cable connecting the CD- ROM to the system board primary IDE connector. The CD-ROM that comes with your system is set as the master device. A second IDE connect is available to connect a slave IDE removable media device.

nIf only one device is on an IDE channel connector it must be set as the master device.
