MPI 40 Series - Cable Requirements; Type of Cable; Operational Procedures; Diskette Loading

2.6 CABLE REQUIREMENTS
The electrical interface between the MPI Model 40 Series and the
controller is accomplished by two connectors. The first connector, Jl, is a
50 pin edge connector and provides the signal interface. The maximum cable
length from connector to connector should be 10 feet (3 meters). Refer
to table 2-1 for cable connector part number and attachment, and figure 3-4
for dimensions.
The second connector, J3, provides DC power to the drive and is mounted on the
component side of the control electronics PCBA (refer to figure 6-1). It is a
6 pin Amp Mate-N-Lock type connector, Amp P/N 1-380999-0. The recommended
mating connector, P3, is Amp P/N 1-480270-0 using pins which are Amp P/N
60619-1 (refer to figure 3-3).

2.7 OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES
The MPI Model 40 Series is designed for easy operation with a wide
.range of operator oriented applications. The drive is under direct control of
the interface and power sources. No special start-up procedures are necessary.
Secure both power and I/O connectors prior to loading a diskette.
2.7.1 Diskette Loading
The diskette is a flexible disk enclosed in a plastic jacket. The
interior of the jacket contains a liner which is specially designed
to clean the disk. Figure 2-4 shows the proper way of loading the
diskette into the drive. To load a diskette, depress the latch,
insert the diskette with the label facing out and close the
access door. This will align the diskette on the drive spindle.
The diskette can be loaded or unloaded with power on and the
spindle rotating. When not in use the diskette should be stored in
the envelope.
