Notes

Drive Addressing and Interface Termination

RN1 Interface Terminator
The Interface Terminator factory installed at RN1 provides proper
termination for the interface lines. When daisy-chaining multiple
drives, leave the terminator installed only in the last physical
drive on the daisy chain cable; remove the terminator from each
of the other drives. In most PC/AT installations, the C: drive
is actually at the end of the cable and should retain the
terminator.

DA1, DA2, DA3 Drive Select Jumpers
The Drive Address jumpers are identified as DA1, DA2, and DA3.
Address selection is binary, as shown in the table below. The
ESDI controller's documentation will specify the drive address
to use.

Drive Address	DA3	DA2	DA1
1	out	out	in
2	out	in	out
3	in	out	out
4	in	out	out
5	in	out	in
6	in	in	out
7	in	in	in

"Drive Address 0" (no jumper at DA1, DA2 or DA3) is a "deselect"
(i.e., no drive selected). For many multiple drive installations,
each drive must have a unique address. An exception is that for
every drive in a PC/AT installation, verify that the only Drive
Address jumper is at DA2; move the jumper if necessary (the
special twisted interface cable that is generally used takes care
of assigning a unique address to each drive). PC/AT controllers
can typically support a maximum of two drives.

W5 Select the Spindle Control Option
W5 selects the spindle control option. If W5 is installed, the
drive waits for a Start Spindle command (after power is applied)
to start the spindle motor. If W5 is not installed (the factory
default configuration), the drive automatically starts the
spindle motor at power-on. W5 is not installed for PC/AT
installations.

W1 Selects the Sectoring Mode.
If W1 is installed, the drive operates in the soft-sectored mode.
If W1 is not installed (the factory default configuration), the
drive operates in the hard-sector mode. W1 is not installed for
most PC/AT applications.

W2, W3, W4 Sector Size Option
The number of bytes per sector may be specified using the Set
Bytes Per Sector command or by selecting a default sector
configuration with jumpers W2, W3, and W4 as follows:

Jumpers				Bytes/Sector
W4	W3	W2	Sectors Per Track	Formatted	Unformatted
out	out	out	35	512	595
*out	out	in	36	512	578
out	in	out	19	1024	1096
out	in	in	9	2048	2314
in	out	out	5	4096	4166
in	out	in	32	512	651
in	in	out	64	256	325
in	in	in	1	20,832	20,832

* This is the default (factory installed) configuration and is
recommended for PC/AT applications
