2.0 Jumper Option Setup Instructions
The following information pertains to the DTC·5150X
when used with Data Technology Corporation's CXD B[OS.
2.1 BIOS
Address Jumpers (W2)
The BIOS address jumpers (W2 pins 3-4 and 5·6)
allow the B[OS address to be relocated. The
default setting places it at address C800:0000.
As shown below, alternate addresses can be
selected by changing the jumpers.

This jumper is used to manually set the .
Winchester drive type. The factory settmg IS
for W3 to be installed for ST225 drive types.
By removing W3, a screen menu for drive
definition (Sea Section 4.1) will be selected.
2.3 AT LED Connector (15)
If the controller is used in AT·type systems,
this connector is provided for the proper
operation of the drive activity LED indicator.
3.0 Cable Requirements
a. The following ribbon cables are required for
these configurations.
1. One internal drive:
One 20·conductor cable
One 34·conductor cable
2. Two internal drives:
Two 20·conductor cables
One 34·conductor twisted or flat daisy'
chain cable
b. This 34 pin cable connects to )1 on the
5150X, (Note: When using a twisted cable,
both drives must be set to drive select 2.)
c.
The 20 pin cable connects to )2 andlor )3.
The drive logical unit number is determined
by a setting on the disk drive, not by the
choice of cable connector )2 or )3
(See Figure
for location of cable connectors)
