9. Run any configuration software required to complete the
installation of the add-in board.
Configuring Add-in Parallel Ports and Sound
Cards
If you install an add-in board with a parallel port, it must be
configured to use an interrupt other than IRQ7, since that
interrupt is reserved for the onboard parallel port. Optionally,
you can disable the onboard parallel port. Refer to the Peripheral
Configuration section of the Advanced Options part of System
Setup for more information.
If you install an add-in sound card, disable the integrated audio
adapter. Refer to the Audio Configuration section of the
Advanced Options part of System Setup for more information.
Installing Drives
One 3.5-inch floppy drive, one 3.5-inch hard drive, one Zip
drive, and one CD-ROM drive come with your computer. You
can add one additional floppy drive and one additional IDE
drive. Examples of additional drives are:
•
Half-height 3.5- or 5.25-inch floppy drives. The system
board has a floppy controller that supports up to two
floppy drives, one of which is the 3.5-inch drive that
comes with the computer.
•
Half-height 3.5- or 5.25-inch hard drives.
The system board has two IDE connectors that support
up to two drives each.
To use another type of hard drive, such as a SCSI drive,
install an add-in hard drive controller board.
•
Tape backup. Some models of tape backup drive can use
the onboard floppy controller; other models require add-
in controllers.
Before installing a drive, read the instructions for preparing the
drive. You can then install a drive on any of the drive-mounting
brackets located inside the computer (Figure 13).
