CONFIGURING FLOPPY DRIVES FOR AST SYSTEMS
|
|
|
|
|
|
To insure proper installation of a floppy drive into an AST computer system,
|
|
make sure the following conditions are met. The AST diskette drive
|
|
specification calls for "frame" ground to be connected to "logic" ground.
|
|
|
|
On many floppy drives this is accomplished by the correct placement of a
|
|
jumper on the drive's control electronics printed circuit board. Refer to
|
|
the instructions included with the drive to verify correct placement of the
|
|
grounding jumper.
|
|
|
|
In addition, the grounding strap from the power supply should be attached to
|
|
the drive's metal frame during installation. It should be noted that it may
|
|
be necessary to move the ground strap from it's normal position on the
|
|
Premium computer's chassis to a position where the ground connection on the
|
|
floppy drive frame can be accessed.
