Unpacking
and
Packing
Qume
DT-8
Disk
Drives
When
unpacking
your
Qume
DT-8
disk
drives,
it
is
very
important
that
you
save
all
of
the
disk
drive
packing
materials.
These
materials
include
the
cardboard
insert
to
protect
the
disk
drive
head,
the
styrafoam
block
which
holds
the
door
closed,
the
plastic
bag
dust
cover,
the
inner
cardboard
container,
the
foam
packing
inserts
and
the
shipping
container.
These
materials
must
be
used
to
repack
the
drive
should
it
ever
be
necessary
to
reship
the
drive
or
return
the
drive
to
the
factory
for
service.
Packing
the
drive
in
a
container
other
than
the
one
supplied
or
not
properly
preparing
the
drive
for
shipment
can
result
in
costly
damage
to
the
drive
and/or
the
drive
head.
Neither
SWTPC,
the
drive
manufacturer,
or
the
carrier
will
be
responsible
for
such
damage.
To
repack
a
Qume
DT-8
disk
drive
for
shipment,
first
unplug
the
DMAF2 chassis
from
the
AC
wall
receptacle.
Disconnect
all
cables
attaching
to
the
disk
drive.
Remove
the
four
screws
holding
the
disk
drive
to
the
chassis
and
carefully
remove
the
drive.
Open
the
disk
drive
door
and
carefully
insert
the
cardboard
disk
head
protector
so
tab
on
the
protector
is
fully
inserted
into
the
drive.
Now
carefully
close
the
door.
Set
the
styrafoam
block
against
the
upper
back
side
of
the
drive's
front
panel
and
tape
it
in
place.
This
block
prevents
the
door
from
being
opened
once
the
drive
is
placed
inside
the
inner
cardboard
container.
Carefully
place
the
drive
inside
the
plastic
bag
dust
cover
and
secure
with
tape.
Now
slide
the
back
side
of
the
drive
into
the
inner
cardboard
container
until
only
the
front
panel
of
the
disk
drive
is
exposed.
Make
sure
that
you
have
a
foam
insert
properly
positioned
in
the
bottom
of
the
shipping
container.
Carefully
set
in
the
packed
drive
oriented
so
the
drive
has
its
bottom
side
down.
Now
place
the
remaining
foam
insert
on
the
top
of
the
drive
assembly.
If
the
disk
drive
is
being
returned
for
factory
service,
be
sure
to
include
documentation
describing
the
problem
with
the
drive
and
if
possible,
documention
confirming
the
date
of
purchase.
Drives

to
SWTPC should
