Hard Disk Tips
1GB IBM Spitfire Drive Installation
When inserting the hard disk into FT//e care needs to be taken not to
damage the plastic insulation on the drive bay metal work. If necessary, physically bend
the FT//e metal work so that there is no possibility of stripping the insulation.
Also care needs to be taken not to over-tighten the mounting screws in
the plastic inserts. There is a maximum torque setting which must not be exceeded - this
is 0.7N/M.
2GB IBM Alleycat Drive Installation
Care needs to be taken not to short out the drive electronics, for this
reason the insulation sheet supplied should be used to separate the drive from the metal
work, especially when using the Dual HD mounting bracket.
The Alleycat drive can be mounted by using IBM's own fixing points or
the industry standard fixing points. If the industry standard points are used the short
length screws supplied must be used, alternatively use the plastic sleeve and spacing
washer to insulate the drive, care still needs to be taken not to over tighten the screws
on to the drive assembly. |
