For a diskette drive, update the appropriate Diskette Drive option (A or B) on Page

1 of the System Setup screens to reflect the size and capacity of your new dis-

kette 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 Drive option (0 or 1)

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.
