Diskette drive
An optional 3 1/2-inch 1.44 MB internal diskette drive (see Figure 1-2) can
be installed in the system unit. The drive accepts a 4-pin AMP power
connector and a 34-pin data cable. The data transfer rate is 1 Mbps (Mbit per
second). "Diskette Drive" in Chapter 4 describes how to remove and
replace the optional diskette drive in the system unit.
The power supply (see Figure 1-2) is housed in the system unit. It connects to
the system via a 12-pin connector and provides +5, +12, and -12 volts DC.
Voltages are regulated. The power supply also supplies the power-on reset
signal.
Some of the power supply's features include the following:
•
Switching power supply
•
Overcurrent protection
•
Crowbar feature
•
Internal fusing
The External drive units have their own power supplies. The External Storage
Module's power supply provides +5, +12, and -12 volts DC. The Desktop
Storage Pack's power supply provides +5 and +12 volts DC.
