Installing External Hardware Options
This section explains how to install the external hardware options available with the
system.
Note
When using the external floppy drive, do NOT attach the drive with a
diskette installed. You may corrupt the disk.
External Floppy
The external floppy (9000-EXF) can be mounted on the back of the unit. There are
four screw holes on the back of the unit for the floppy mounting. A fifth screw hole
is on the back for the cable clamp screw. See the figures of the back panel and the
bottom panel (Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5).
Front mounting options are also available.
Note
Make sure the floppy drive cable will reach the external floppy
connector on the system before making the cutout.
If you wish to relocate the floppy drive to the front of the computer module, you
must install the 9000-FFK Front Floppy Kit, which includes a front access keyboard
port. The floppy drive access door is provided for installations using the 9000-RFC
Rack Filler Plate with Cutout, or panel mount installations that provide a cutout for
the front mounted floppy drive.
