CD-ROM Drive
Removal and Replacement of the CD-ROM drive is nearly identical to
removal and replacement of any 5.25˝ removable media device. The
CD-ROM drive differs from other removable media devices in that it
also has an audio cable attached to the connector nearest to the
Genesis MP’s right-hand side. For all other removal and replacement
instructions, refer to Chapter 3 of the Genesis MP User Guide.
Hard Drive
DayStar currently provides several different drive configurations for
Genesis MP. These include single drive systems operating on the
motherboard SCSI interface, and multiple drive Fast and Wide
arrays using a high-performance PCI SCSI controller.
Removal and Replacement of Hard Drives is covered in Chapter 3
of the Genesis MP User Guide. Technicians should refer to
Chapter 1 of the Genesis MP Service Guide, section Functional
Descriptions: SCSI Interface for details covering the Genesis MP
SCSI bus.
Floppy Drive
Removal and Replacement of the floppy drive is nearly identical to
removal and replacement of 5.25˝ removable media devices.
The floppy drive differs from other removable media devices in that
you need to remove the Front Vent Assembly (the large lower
bezel) to remove the drive. The Front Vent Assembly is removable
by hand with gentle fingertip pressure.
For all other removal and replacement instructions, refer to
Chapter 3 of the Genesis MP User Guide.
PCI Expansion Cards
Removal and replacement of PCI expansion cards is discussed in
Chapter 3 of the Genesis MP User Guide. For tips on PCI Card
Performance, see Chapter 1 of the Genesis MP Service Guide,
section Functional Descriptions: PCI Cards.
RAM DIMMs
Removal and replacement of RAM DIMMs is discussed in Chapter
3 of the Genesis MP User Guide.
For best performance, DayStar recommends that RAM DIMMs be
interleaved. For maximum RAM configurations and information on
interleaving, see Chapter 1 of the Genesis MP Service Guide,
section Functional Descriptions: Memory.
