WARNING: Remove the filler panel only from I/O slots that will house an I/O
module. All unused I/O slots require the filler panels to maintain proper cooling
of the unit and regulatory compliance. Failure to cover open slots can result in
overheating of the NETBuilder II system and will invalidate the warranty.
Floppy Disk Drive The 8-Slot chassis includes a 3.5 inch, 135 tracks per inch (TPI), 4 MB floppy
disk drive that supports 1.4 MB and 2.8 MB DOS-formatted floppies. The drive
is located on the right side of the front panel.
The DPE module does not support the floppy disk drive.
Press the eject button on the disk drive front panel to eject diskettes. The LED
on the front panel lights when a floppy diskette is being formatted, read, or
written. Do not attempt to eject the diskette when the LED is lit.
For information on replacing the floppy disk drive, see page 2-12.
Backplane The backplane consists of a bus that is mounted vertically against the back of
the card cage. When installed, the modules rest inside the card cage.
Connectors on the backplane engage connectors on the modules.
The backplane has a peak data rate of 800 Mbps.
The backplane allows you to hot-swap an I/O module, which means that you
can install, or remove and reinstall, an I/O module without turning off the
power to the chassis.
Figure 2-10 shows the location of the backplane, connectors, and power supply
in the 8-Slot chassis.
