power supply may not meet the requirements of the new
devices you are installing. If you are not sure whether your
power supply meets your needs, consult your dealer.

Before you load new software, scan the
diskette for viruses.
• Isolate the drive. If there is more than one drive in your
system, configure and install the drive for single drive opera-
tion. If you are installing the drive in a network, verify that the
drive works with DOS.
