FLOPPY DRIVE INSTALLATION (continued)
Use the write-protected cable if you do not want users to be able to write data
to any diskette inserted in the drive. This cable prevents users from copying
data from the network server (or any other drive they can access) onto a
diskette in either the A or B drive. If an attempt is made to write to a floppy
diskette, a ‘Write protect error” will occur. However, data can still be read
from a diskette and copied to a local hard drive or other network drive.
HARD DRIVE INSTALLATION
One IDE drive cable, with two drive connectors, is supplied with the system.
Only standard drive types 0-63 can be specified in the ROM setup program
(refer to drive table on pages 2-24 & 2-25 of the user’s manual). The drive
types are identical with the standard Equity 386SX Plus).
If the standard Equity 386SX PLUS SETUP program is used to specify a user-
defined drive type (or modify other settings), the “Diskette boot control” option
will be disabled upon exiting and updating..
If the ROM setup program is used to re-enable the boot control, the standard
drive type specified by the ROM SETUP program will also be saved, thus
overriding the user-defined settings.
The ROM SETUP program allows an incorrect drive type (for example: 37) to
be set and saved. Therefore, care must be taken to use a correct drive type.
The following is a list of some common IDE drives and the drive types that
should be used:
