A. Inspect the shipping package for obvious damage.
B. Open the shipping container, and remove the drive.
C. Inspect the drive's overall appearance. Ensure that there are no scratches on the bezel.
D. Ensure that all internal connectors are seated properly.
E. Turn the diskette lever counterclockwise, and remove the shipping diskette.
F. Insert a blank diskette, close, and then open the diskette lever. The diskette should eject.
G. Insert a blank diskette, and manually turn the spindle pulley. It should rotate freely.
The dynamic incoming inspection procedures include:
A. Connect the drive to an exerciser or computer tester capable of seeking, writing, and reading.
B.
Power up the test equipment, and apply power to the drive.
C. Select the drive, and ensure that the Activity L. E. D. located on the bezel illuminates.
D. I nsert a work diskette and write/verify from Track 00 to Track 76. Ensure that there are no
errors.
E. Insert a diskette written previously on another drive. Read this diskette, and ensure that there
are no data errors. If excessive errors occur, check the diskette on the drive on which it was
written.
F. If the drive passes all the checks listed above, it is operational. If not, review Section II.

INTERFACE CONNECTIONS
Signal connections for the drive are made via a user-supplied 50-pin, flat ribbon connector (3M
Scotchflex 3415). This connector mates directly with the circuit board connector at the rear of the
drive. The
D.
C. power connector is a six-pin connector (Amp Mate-N-Lok Part Number 1-480270-0),
which mates with the connector at the rear of the drive.
The signal connector harness should be of the flat ribbon ortwisted pair type, have a maximum length
of ten feet, and have a 22-to-28 gauge conductor compatible with the connector that is to be used.
Power connections should be made with 18-AWG cable, minimum.

MOUNTING THE DRIVE
The drive has been designed to mount in any plane, Le.: upright, horizontal, or vertical. The only
restriction is that the printed circuit board side of the chassis must be uppermost when the drive is
mounted horizontally. Eight holes are provided for mounting: two on each side and four on the bottom
of the housing (see Figure 1-1). The two on each side are tapped for 8-32 screws. The four mounting
holes on the bottom require 8-32 thread forming screws.
Optional straps are available to permit attaching two drives together for installation in standard width
drive openings.
