If
your.
system includes more than
one disk drive, you must set two
small identifier switches on the
back of each drive. These switches
tell the computer which drive
you're referring to in your pro-
grams and commands.
To set the switches, first turn off
the power to the disk drives. Then
turn the drives around so that you
c;an see the
DRIVE SELECT
window
on the back of each drive. Inside
the window is a black s'1.jtch end,
behind it, a white switch.
Using a pen or a small screw-
driver, set the switches in the win-
dow to match the patterns shown
here for Drive 1, Drive 2, and so
forth. You must always have one
drive s-et
as
Drive J.
