The Radial option is enabled by shoning pins I and 2 at the J7 shunt.
Drives configured to this option are always selected and respond to all
control signals issued on the attached control cable:. The 220/330Q
resistor temnination pack must remam installed on each radially-
connected drive.

The WRITE FAULT signal may be inlemailylatched.This latch may
be cleared wben DRIVE SELECT gocs false (if pins 5 and 6 are shon-
ed at J7). The standard configuration. with the shoning block re-
moved, cause:s WRITE FAULT to go false when WRITE GATE goes
false. Refer to

DIRECTION IN. defines the direction the ReadfWrite: heads will
move when the STEP line is pulsed. With DIRECTION IN true, each
pulse causes the heads to move one cylinder inward toward the lipiD-
die..
When DIRECTION IN is false, each pulse causes the heads to move
one cyr :I<:routward toward Track _.

3.5 UFE TEST
This function is used during the manufacturinl process and is not
recommended for Deld use. When pins 7 and 8 are shoned. the stepper
motor will continuously seek between Track _ and the maximum
cylinder. Whc:onin this mode the drive will ignore control signals sent
via the interface.
