LS-120 Diskette Drive
Some models come with an Imation
®
LS-120 120-MB diskette drive. The LS-
120 drive is a very high-capacity, high-performance storage device that is
capable of using 120-MB diskettes. It is also backward compatible with 720-KB
and 1.44-MB diskettes. Use the LS-120 diskette drive to back up work, archive
old files, and transport your work.
PC Adapter Device
Some systems come with a PC Adapter Device. The PC adapter provides twin
PC card slots, which support two Type I/II cards, or one Type I/II card and one
Type III card. The adapter supports ISA Plug and Play, and allows cards of
mixed voltage to be used in the same system. PC cards can provide the system
with memory, storage, fax/modem capabilities, video capabilities, or a serial
port interface. The PC adapter driver enables full diskette drive or hard disk
emulation on flash cards compatible with all compression and PC-utilities
software.
The adapter is comprised of a “SwapBox” housed in a 5 1/4-inch accessible bay,
a PC ISA adapter card, and a dual cable that connects them on the PC adapter
bus.
PC adapter device specifications are given in Section 10, “Specifications.”
Tape Backup Unit
Some systems come with a tape backup unit. The tape backup unit is a high-
capacity, high-performance data storage device that can compress and write data
to and read and uncompress data from tape. The unit also comes with backup
software used to tailor the backup process so that some or all of the files on the
system can be backed up to a tape cartridge. Files backed up to a tape backup
unit are compressed to conserve space and to speed up the backup process.
The tape backup unit installs in a 5 1/4-inch accessible bay. The installed tape
backup unit is connected to an IDE cable that connects to the riser board. The
PCI/IDE channel, and the master/slave configuration of the unit depend on the
specific configuration of the system.
Tape backup unit connector locations on the riser board are given in
Section 5, “Riser Board.” Tape backup unit specifications are given in
Section 10, “Specifications.”
Zip Drive
Some systems come with a Zip drive. The Zip drive is a high-capacity, high-
performance data storage device that writes data on and reads data from Zip
disks. A Zip disk is flexible media contained in a durable plastic cartridge. The
Zip drive supports removable Zip disks with a formatted capacity of 100 MB.
The Zip drive can be used to back up work, archive old files, and transport work
between computers.
