CARTRIDGE DISK HANDLING AND STORAGE

Upon receipt of cartridge disks, inspect them for signs of shipping damage.  Allow at least

one hour for temperature adjustment to the computer-room environment before using.

Recommended storage is on shelves in the computer or control room.

Although the cartridge protects the disk from most accidental damage, the following

cartridge handling rules should be observed:

• Do not try to open the cartridge when it is outside the drive.

• Do not insert objects into the cartridge or drive.

• Remove the cartridge from the drive after use and store in its protective jacket.

• Do not expose the cartridge to direct sunlight or moisture.

• Do not expose the cartridge to magnetic fields greater than 30 oersteds.

• Protect the cartridge from dirt, spills, and harsh environments.

• Avoid handling the front edge of the cartridge, since oils can be transferred from the

hands to the cartridge disk.

1.4.1  Cartridge Loading and Removal

1. Drive power must be on before the cartridge can be inserted.  If power to the drive is

off, the latch pin in the drive will prevent cartridge insertion.

2. The cartridge is inserted into the drive shutter first.  The cartridge edge containing the

shutter faces toward the stop button on the front of the drive (see Figure 1-4).

Interlocks in the system prevent improper cartridge insertion

After loading a cartridge, the green indicator on the front of the drive, next to the stop

button, blinks as the motor is coming up to speed.  When the indicator stops blinking

and stays lit, the drive is READY (see Figure 1-4).

To remove the cartridge, push the stop button.  The green LED then begins to blink as

the motor spins down.  When the motor has stopped, the green LED turns off and the

latch pin disengages.  The cartridge can now be removed (see Figure 1-4).

Cartridge Media Protection

To protect stored media (programs and data) on a cartridge from being accidentally erased,

you must move the protect switch (lower left in Figure 1-4) to the write protect position.on by the Enhanced Micro TDC3000 system—data and programs may be lost.

1.5  EMC DIRECTIVE

The Enhanced Micro TDC3000 system is being brought into compliance with European

guidelines for ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC).  The European EMC directive

(89/366/EEC) requires that an electronics product operate reliably in its intended EMC

environment.  It also requires that the product not detrimentally affect other products

operating in their own environment.

Eventually the Enhanced Micro TDC3000 hardware will display a product certification

label to indicate the hardware is in compliance. This label is placed inside, at the bottom

front of the tower.  As shown in Figure 1-5. a “CE” logo on the product label indicates the

product is in compliance with the European EMC directive along with other descriptive

information about the product
