FAST INSTALLATION OF THE M261X-T
This paragraph contains the basic information needed to install one
or two drives in a PC-AT compatible system. Please read this section
before you attempt to install the drive. DO NOT LOW LEVEL FORMAT THE
DRIVE! DO NOT USE PROGRAMS LIKE SPEED STORE OR ONTRACK TO ACCESS
CYLINDERS BEYOND CYLINDER 1024 OR TO CONFIGURE LARGE PARTITIONS.
CMOS ROM in the PC system will need to be configured for the
translated drive parameters. This will be a drive type that is 667
cylinders, 33 sectors per track and twice the number of heads that
the drive has physical. If the system BIOS has the user configurable
options these parameters can be entered directly. If user
configuration is not available, use a drive type that is the closes
to but does not exceed the parameters shown. The remainder of the
drive capacity will be lost.
SINGLE DRIVE OPERATION.
Hardware installation.
If the drive is to be installed in a single drive configuration
there is no need to modify the jumper. The drive is shipped with the
jumpers configured for single drive operation.
The drive can be physically mounted in the PC board down
configuration or with the PC board vertical. See figure (on pp 2-4)
for more information. Adapters for 5 1/4" mounting may be used.
Power (+5v and +12v) is applied to either CN2 or CN6. Applying power
to both connectors is not recommended. See figure 2.3 for power
connector locations. See figure 2.5 for power pin assignments.
The 40 pin interface connector is connected with pin one towards the
CN2 power connector. The drive can be connected directly to the PC
system board (Mother board) if it is equipped with the 40 pin IDE
connector. If the 40 pin interface connector is not present on the
system board, a AT card edge to 40 pin IDE adapter will need to be
used. The adapters are available from NCL, Western Digital and other
manufacturers.
Software installation.
DO NOT LOW LEVEL FORMAT THE DRIVE.
DO NOT USE PROGRAMS LIKE SPEED STORE OR ONTRACK TO ACCESS CYLINDERS
BEYOND CYLINDER 1024. OR TO CONFIGURE LARGE PARTITIONS.
The drive is equipped with translation tables that will allow access
of cylinders beyond 1024. DOS 4.01 will allow configuration of
larger than 33.3 meg partitions.
Boot DOS from a floppy. Load FDISK and follow the instructions in
your DOS manual for partitioning the drive. Under DOS 3.3 the drive
will need to be partition into several 33.3 meg or less drives.
Under DOS 4.01, larger than 33.3 meg partitions can be configured.
High level format the drive. Load FORMAT from the DOS disk. Format
the "C:" drive using the "/s" option. This option will product a
bootable C: drive. The remaining partitions will not need to be
formatted with the "/s" option. The drive may now be used normally.
DUAL DRIVE OPERATION.
Hardware installation.
The only difference between the single and dual drive hardware
installation is that two drives must be considered. The jumpers on
both drives must be adjusted for master slave operation. Both drives
will need to have pins 8 and 7 on CNH-1 jumped. Then one drive will
need to be defined as the master by having pins 5 and 4 on CNH-2
jumped. The other will need to be defined as the slave by having
pins 1 and 2 on CNH-1 jumped. If drives of other manufactures are
used, the Fujitsu drive may need to be configured as the master.
Software installation.
The software installation for the dual drive configuration is the
same as for the single drive except the both drives need to have the
partitions defined. This is accomplished by partitioning drive 0 and
then selecting and partitioning drive 1. Refer to the FDISK
instructions in your DOS manual. Both drives will need to be high
level FORMATTED......... . ... ...-....
