Installing 5.25" devices in VS660 machines
There has found to be an issue installing 5.25" full length devices
into the bottom 5.25" bay in the VS660.
A power transistor (package outline TO 220) obstructs full clearance of
the 5.25" full length device. If a device is fitted into the bottom bay it will bend
the power transistor with the possible effect of damaging the device or creating dry
joints. If the 5.25" full length device is metal cased then it can short against the
power transistor causing loss of power to the VS660 and possible electronic damage.
Apricots advise not to install 5.25" full length devices into the
bottom 5.25" drive bay until a satisfactory solution is provided by Apricot. |
