DISK
DRIVE
PREPARATION
The initial check-out procedure in Section
II
should
be
performed prior to plaCing the disk
drive in a system environment.
Optimum data reliability
can
be
obtained only when the protective dust cover is installed
on
the disk drive. Also, to ensure proper operation
and
data reliability,
it
is necessary that
disk cartridges
be temperature stabilized at the disk drive ambient temperature for 2 hours.
For
200
tpi models, the time required to ensure cartridge interchangeability and data
compatibility is
as
follows.
(1)
Initial Power Turn-on: the disk drive shall be considered stabilized after
15
minutes in the
Run
mode.
(2)
Place the
ON
IOFF switch in the
ON
position and observe that the associated
indicator becomes illuminated.
(3)
Observe that the SAFE indicator becomes illuminated within 2 seconds of the
ON
indicator illumination.
