Manual 41417-159-2
Chapter 1: Product Description
This manual contains the information required to install and use the EMC-FDM floppy drive
expansion module.
The EMC-FDM is a floppy disk unit and also includes a standard male 9-pin serial port and a
standard female 25-pin parallel port.
Due to the size of the floppy drive unit, the EMC-FDM uses a double-wide EXM form factor.
The EMC-FDM is the same size as the EMC-PS50 unit, and is designed to mount on the right
side (opposite the EMC-PS50) of an EMC chassis. One such chassis available from Industrial
Computer Source is the EMC-CH6D.
The EMC-FDM is fully software configurable via the setup screen allowing the user to enable
or disable the card and configure the I/O address and interrupt level for each port.
WARNING!
Do not plug in any cable or connector into the front panel connectors while the EMC-
FDM is powered up. This unit is not designed to withstand potential damage that could
arise from fluctuations in power. Never plug in a serial or parallel device, keyboard,
transceiver, or other component while the system is turned on.
