For a diskette drive, enter the System Setup program and update the appropriate
Diskette Drive category (A or B) on the System Setup screen to reflect the size
and capacity of your new diskette drive. (For more information, see Chapter 2,
“Using the System Setup Program.”)
If you installed a non-EIDE tape drive as the second drive, set the Diskette
Drive B category to Not Installed.
For EIDE CD-ROM and tape drives, set the appropriate Secondary Drive cate-
gory (0 or 1) to Auto.

See your Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide for information on running the
Dell Diagnostics and troubleshooting any problems that may occur. Use the fol-
lowing guidelines to determine which test to use:
‡
If you installed a diskette drive, test it by running all of the subtests in the
Diskette Drive(s) Test Group of the Dell Diagnostics.
‡
If you installed a CD-ROM drive, see the documentation that came with the
drive for instructions on loading device drivers and using the drive. If it is an
EIDE CD-ROM drive, test it by running all of the subtests in the IDE CD-ROM
Drives Test Group of the Dell Diagnostics.
‡
If you installed a tape drive, first verify that your diskette drive is still operat-
ing correctly by running all of the subtests in the Diskette Drive(s) Test Group
of the Dell Diagnostics. Then perform a tape backup and verification test
with the drive as instructed in the tape-drive software documentation that
came with the tape drive.
NOTE: Tape drives sold by Dell come with their own operating software and doc-
umentation. After you install a tape drive, refer to the documentation that came
with the drive for instructions on installing and using the tape drive software.
