Before You Begin
Read this chapter before you install your mass storage system. It will tell you
how to use this manual properly and efficiently.
We designed a family of mass storage systems with Winchester technology that
interfaces with other Allen-Bradley products. you can store large quantities of
data on hard disk or micro-floppy diskettes. There are three unique mass
storage systems. This manual describes each system, what they connect to, and
summarizes how they interface.
We assume that you:
are familiar with fundamental computer technology
have access to our related publications through a local sales engineer or
distributor.
To make this manual easier to read and understand, we avoid repeating product
names and acronym definitions wherever possible. We refer to:
1770-M10 Universal Mass Storage System as “1770-M10 system”
1770-M11 Processor Mass Storage System as “1770-M11 system”
1770-M12 PC/M Mass Storage System as “1770-M12 system”
Random Access Memory as “RAM”
Disk Memory Interface Module as “DMIM”
This manual contains a glossary that will help you familiarize yourself with
technical terms related to the mass storage systems. For a list of PC words and
their definitions, contact your Allen-Bradley sales engineer or distributor for
publication SD60.
We refer to related products throughout this manual. Table 1.A lists each

Disk Indicators
There are two LED disk indicators; one for the Winchester, the other for the
micro–floppy. Red indicates the Winchester of micro–floppy. Red indicates the
Winchester or micro–floppy is being accessed. Off indicates that neither are in
use.
Power Indicator
This LED labeled POWER lights green when there is power to your mass
storage system. Off indicates there is no power.

Restart Indicator (System Fault)
This LED labeled RESTART lights red when either:
the system cannot successfully start from the micro–floppy or Winchester
there is an internal fault detected on the Disk Memory Interface Module
(DMIM)
Or when one of the following conditions occurs:
download fault
Random Access Memory (RAM) parity error
system fault
hardware malfunction
module fault
Off indicates normal operation.
Restart Pushbutton
When you press this red pushbutton labeled RESTART, it:
causes the DMIM to load the 1770–M11 operating system program from the
micro–floppy; if there is not micro–floppy, the DMIM loads the operating
system from the Winchester disk drive
performs a power–up diagnostic check
Eject Pushbutton
Press the black eject pushbutton to release the micro–floppy from the access
slot. Then, remove the micro–floppy and store it in a vertical position inside the
original box.
We describe the care and use of micro–floppies in appendix A.

Access Slot for Micro-floppy
This is where you insert your micro–floppy.
ATTENTION: Use only double–sided, double–density,
micro–floppy diskettes in the micro–floppy disk drive. Using
single–sided diskettes may permanently damage the drive heads of
the micro–floppy disk drive.

Parallel Channel In J21
This communication port labeled PARALLEL CHANNEL IN J21 allows you to

Allen–Bradley’s Advisor 2TM Color Graphic System
Other 1770–M10 Systems
1770–M11 System
Parallel Channel Out J20
This parallel communication port, labeled PARALLEL CHANNEL OUT J20
allows you to expand memory capacity by connecting another 1770–M10
system to this port. Also, the 1770–M12 system connects to the programmable
controller/management system (PC/M) at this port.
Serial Channel J22
This communication port, labeled SERIAL CHANNEL J22 has six slotted
screws. It is where the twinaxial cable connects from the 1770–M11 system to
the PLC–3 peripheral communication module.
Test J23
Using the port labeled TEST J23, you can test the 1770–M11 system’s internal
components. Connect the data cartridge recorder to load the diagnostics
cartridge for the 1770–M11 system; then connect the industrial terminal (or any
RS–232 terminal) to monitor the program’s result.
The diagnostic cartridge for the 1770–M11 system (cat. no. 1770–MDS) can
test up to three 1770–M10 systems when connected to the 1770–M11 system.
RS422 Interface J24
This communication port, labeled RS422 INTERFACE J24 allows you to
connect the 1770–M12 system to the programmable controller/management
system (PC/M).

Power Switch
This is an on/off switch. We labeled it for international use:
If you select Then power is And POWER indicator is
1 on green
0 off off
Power Connect, 120/220V AC Electrical Card, Fuse Holder J19
This is a multi purpose module. The power connect is where you connect the
power cable to a power source. We describe cables later in this chapter.
The fuse holder houses a 5 A, 250V fuse for 120V operation.
ATTENTION: We ship this product for 120V AC operation. You
must change the electrical card if you are using a 220V AC.
Changing the electrical card protects the mass storage system from
overcurrent and overvoltage. You could damage your equipment if
you do not insert the proper side of the electrical cord.
Chapter 4 describes how to change the electrical card for 220V AC operations.
Baud Rate Switch
Baud is the rate at which communication signals from the 1770–M11 system are
transmitted to the PLC–3 peripheral communication module. The chart below
interprets the three positions on this switch labeled BAUD RATE:
Position For Communication Rate
157.6kbaud for 10,000 feet (max)
2115.2kbaud for 5,000 feet (max)
3 230.4kbaud for 200 feet (max)
Notice that the faster the communication rate, the shorter the distance over
which the device can communicate.
Fan and Filter Location
An internal fan circulates air to cool the mass storage system.

Hardware Features of the Mass Storage
Systems
Chapter 2
28
The re–usable foam filter traps dirt from the air. When the filter is dirty, wash it
with warm water and a mild detergent. Do not use an abrasive detergent.
After you wash the filter, air dry it completely before replacing it.
ATTENTION: Do not operate your mass storage system without the
filter in place. Damage to your mass storage system may occur.

Installing Your Mass Storage System
In this chapter you will read how to:
install your mass storage system
connect your mass storage system to other Allen-Bradley products
Chapter 4 describes how to operate your mass storage system.
Your mass storage system comes in a re-usable shipping box. Save this box and
foam packing material to transport your mass storage system to different
locations.
Mount your mass storage system in an area away from machines which cause
vibration and shock. Shock levels beyond those noted in the specification
(appendix A) may result in loss of oxide media or head misalignment (i.e., disk
failure), and/or permanent loss of all recorded data. See appendix A for further
information regarding shock and vibration.
There are two ways to install your mass storage system:
19 inch rack mount (must meet with EIA spacing requirements)
table top mount
Rack Mount
When you order the optional rack mounting hardware kit (cat. no. 177-MRA)
you’ll receive the following:
two mounting brackets
two handles
four flat-headed machine screws
four self-tapping screws

To mount your mass storage system, follow these steps:
1. Place the mass storage system on a flat surface.
2. Remove both front corner inserts (Figure 1.3) using a small screwdriver.
Double-faced tape holds this corner insert to the mass storage system.

The handles are optional hardware. Skip step 3 if you do not want this option.
3. Connect each mounting bracket with each handle and secure with two
flat-head machine screws (Figure 1.4).
4. Line up each mounting bracket over the corner of the mass storage system.
5. Secure two (per mounting bracket) self-tapping screws into the mass
storage system (Figure 1.5).
6. Place the mass storage system onto your rack. Allow four inches of clear
space between the back of the mass storage system and the wall. This
allows the fan to circulate filtered air to cool your mass storage system.
7. Secure the mounting bracket onto your rack.

Table Top Mount
We place protective feet on the bottom of each mass storage system. This will
guard the mass storage system against slippage while it is on your table or desk
top.
When you place your system on the table, be sure that it is level and allow four
inches of clear space between the mass storage system and the wall. The fan
circulates filtered air to cool your mass storage system.
