Adapter Board Installation
Carefully read the manual that accompanies your adapter board before installing
it. Make sure that all the jumpers are set properly and that there are no address or
signal conflicts. You must also investigate to see if your AT-compatible system
contains a combination floppy and hard disk controller board. If it does, you must
disable the hard disk drive controller functions on that controller board before
proceeding.
Once you have disabled the hard disk drive controller functions on the floppy/
hard drive controller, install the adapter board. Again, make sure that you have
set all jumper straps on the adapter board to avoid addressing and signal conflicts.
Note: For Sections 3.7 and 3.8, power should be turned off on the
computer before installing the drive.
