Installation
Loading the Flexible Disc
To insert and remove flexible discs, perform these steps.
I. Remove the cardboard disc from the drive by pressing the
disc eject button.
2. Hold the disc with the label up (centering hub down).
If you have a disc that is NOT auto shutter, you must manually open the
shutter before inserting the disc into the drive or the disc will not
drop into the drive.
3. Slide the disc into the drive (shutter side first) until
you feel the disc drop into the drive. The disc
physically drops about 1/8 inch. Do not force the disc.
4. Remove the disc by pressing the disc eject button. Pull the
disc straight out.
Never turn the disc drive off or remove the disc from the
drive when the disc access light is on; doing so can cause loss of
data.
After connecting the HP9114 to the system, locate the power (on/off) button on the back panel. This is a
rocker switch with labeling on each side, "0" and "1". Pressing in the rocker on the "0" side, turns the drive
off. Pressing in on the side labeled "1" turns the drive on. Now, let's turn it on.
Power-on Selftest
A power-on selftest 1s performed automatically when you turn on the disc drive. The Fault light 1s the
selftest indication. This light is on when selftest 1s in operation. The selftest takes approximately 6 seconds
after which the fault light goes out. If you have a disc inserted in the drive, read and write testing (involv-
ing the disc) takes an additional 5 seconds or a total of approximately 11 seconds. If the Fault light stays on
after the normal testing time an error within the disc drive has been detected. If this ever happens, please
see Chapter 4. Make sure that the disc used in the selftest is not write protected. If this disc 1s write protec-
ted, only the 6 second test 1s performed.
The selftest will check the HP-IL, FDC, RAM, ROM, and the PIA chips during the first half of the test. The
second half of the test will attempt to do a write/read on system track 79 of an initilized discette only if
the disc is installed and if it is initilized.If neither of these conditions are met, only the first half of the test
1s performed.
If any of the test metioned fail, please refer to chapter 4 for further information to isolate the problem.
