PL B900/B910 Series Users Manual
The PL is equipped with three IDE interfaces, two (2) of which can be used by the
HDD or FFD units, and one (1) which can be used by either the CD-ROM drive or the
Mirror Disk unit. Physically, even though up to three (3) IDE drive units can be con-
nected at the same time, IDE interface specifications require that a controller's simul-
taneous operation be limited to a single master and slave unit, for a total of two devices.
The following chart shows the combinations available when using two IDE units.

Commercially Available Items
• When setting up the touch panel of a PL-B900 Series (PL-B900/PL-B901) unit
with no pre-installed OS, be sure to use the Gunze Company's [TT-WIN/NT]
Touch Panel Device Driver if you install the Windows
®
NT system. If you
decide to install the Windows
®
95 system, please use Digital's Windows
®

• The PL-B900 and PL-B910 Series units can all use comerically available
expansion boards (PCI/ISA compatible) as well as a standard keyboard, mouse,
printer, etc. The PL-B910 Series units, can also use USB compatible devices.
However, among the commercially available USB devices, not all will be
compatible with the PL unit. For a list of the USB units that can be used with
your PL, please contact your local PL distributor.
• Since the PL unit's hard disk drive (HDD) is a consumable item, i.e. it
has a limited lifetime, be sure to back up its data regularly and pre-
pare a spare HDD unit.
• The Hard Disk lifetime given here may be reduced due to unforeseen
environmental factors, however, generally speaking, at an operating
temperature of 20
o
C the disk should last for 20,000 hours (of opera-
tion) or approximately 5 years, whichever comes first.
