INTRODUCTION
This section contains information on how to
unpack, check out, install, and operate the
TM100-1 and TM100-2 drives.
3.1 UNPACKING THE DRIVE
The drives are packaged in protective containers
to minimize the possibility of damage during
shipment. The following list is the recommended
procedure for unpacking the drive.
1 . Place the container on a flat work
surface.
2. Remove the upper half of the container.
3 . Remove the drive from the lower half of
the container.
4. Check the contents of the container
against the packing slip.
5 . Investigate the contents of the container
for possible damage.
6 . Notify the carrier immediately if any
damage is found.
3.2 PREINSTALLATION
CHECKOUT
Before applying power to the drive, the following
inspection should be conducted:
1 . Check to ensure the front latch opens
and closes.
2 . When the latch is moved to an open posi­
tion, the head arm raises.
SECTION 3
OPERATION
3.3
The drive has been designed to be mounted hori­
zontally or vertically. When mounted horizon­
tally, the logic circuit board side of the drive
must be the top side.
Four 6-32 tapped mounting holes are provided
on the bottom of the drive, and two 6-32 tapped
mounting holes on each side, for attachment to
user-supplied mounting brackets. When in­
stalled in either plane, horizontal or vertical,
only two mounting screws are required to secure­
ly hold the drive in place.
Any mounting scheme in which the drive is part
of the structural integrity of the enclosure is not
permitted. Mounting schemes should allow for
adjustable brackets or incorporate resilient
members to accommodate tolerances. In addi­
tion, it is recommended that mounting schemes
include no more than two mounting surfaces.
The drive is manufactured and tested with some
critical internal alignments that must be
maintained. Hence, it is important that the
mounting hardware not introduce significant
stress on the chassis.
3 . Remove the cardboard shipping insert,
and retain for future shipment.
4 . Ensure the front panel is secure.
5 . Ensure the drive belt is in place.
6 . Manually rotate the drive hub. It should
rotate freely.
7 . Ensure both circuit boards are secure.
8 . Ensure the connectors are firmly seated.
