You can use a number of different hard disk drives in your PG 760. The memory
capacity of the hard disk can be found in the Product Information Bulletin and
SETUP program.
The hard disk drive is connected to the first IDE interface (primary IDE). A
second drive can also be connected to this interface as a slave.
Whenever the hard disk drive is accessed, the access LED on the front of the unit
lights up.
Caution
!
Risk of data loss and damage to drive!
Drives are sensitive to vibration and shock. Any vibration occurring during
operation can lead to loss of data or damage to the drive.
If you intend to move the unit, switch it off and wait until the drive has come
to a stop (after about 20 seconds) before you move it.
The CD-ROM drive permits easy updating of STEP 5 and STEP 7 software
and of WINDOWS 95.
The drive is operated via the second IDE interface (secondary IDE). A
second drive can also be operated on this interface. If the second drive is a
hard disk drive, the CD ROM drive should be set as the slave, and the hard
disk drive as the master.
The Product Information Bulletin contains a description, and explains
handling.
Caution
!
Risk of data loss and damage to drive!
CD-ROM drives are very sensitive to vibration and shock. Any vibration
occurring during operation can lead to damage to the drive or the data
medium.
The PG 760 is equipped with further module slots for the installation of
additional disk drives. For further information, see Chapter 4.6.
