CAUTIONS
1. The tape drive unit is a precision electronic device. Do NOT use it in a
manner other than specified
in this Installation Guide.
2. NEVER try to open the unit by yourself for inspection or repair. Doing
so may cause damage or operational failure and will void the warranty.
3. Refer to this manual for installation, operation and maintenance proce-
dures. If any repairs are required, contact your distributor or dealer from
whom you purchased the unit.
4. Precautions during placement:
When installing the tape drive unit
in the host computer horizontally,
the LED on the front panel will be on the left side. When installing the
tape drive unit vertically the LED on the front panel can be either
above or below the opening for the tape cartridge.
Avoid placing the unit (or host computer) irxfirect sunlight or near
heating apparatus; place the unit
in a ctean moisture-free environment.
5. Do NOT apply solvents such as thinner, benzene, or alcohol to the
unit, as these may blemish the surface of the drive. When cleaning
the drive, wipe off dirt using a soft dust-free cloth.
6. If the tape drive unit does not operate normally even after being connected
properly, contact the representative from whom you purchased the unit
or our Technical Support number.
If problems arise, and you need to take
or send the unit to your place of purchase, please re-use the original
packing materials.
7. Do NOT vibrate or apply any shocks to the drive (or the host computer).

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Select a free drive bay and remove its cover plate OR remove an existing
floppy drive so you can install the tape drive unit in its place.
1. Turn off your computer, monitor and any other peripherals.
2. Unplug your computer, monitor and any other peripherals.
Available 3 1/2·· or 5 1/4·· bay Fig.5
3. Unscrew and remove the cover from the computer.
4. Remove the cover plate from the free bay OR remove an existing
floppy drive.
5. Currently, your floppy drives are connected to your floppy controller
board with an existing cable as shown below:

6. Plug the tape drive interface data cable into the back of the tape
drive
as shown.
7. Route the tape drive interface data cable through the drive bay
opening and slide the tape drive unit into the drive
bay.
8. Follow the flat ribbon cable from the back of the existing floppy
drive
to the floppy controller. Make a note of the orientation of the
color stripe, indicating
Pin 1 on the cable, then unplug this cable
from the floppy controller.
9. Match the color stripes on the two cables, then plug your floppy drive
data cable into the second connector
on the tape drive interface
data cable.

O.Plug the remaining end of the tape drive interface data cable into
the floppy controller card. Orient the color stripe as noted in Step 8.
11. Find any unused power cable inside your computer and plug it into
the back of the tape drive unit. The COMB0700 comes with dual
power adapter. The power connector
is keyed so that you can
only plug
it in one way. Press firmly until the connector snaps
into place.
12. Secure and ground the tape drive unit
in the bay, if necessary.
• Note: You do not need to change your CMOS settings when you
install the TAPE700.
13.lf you are installing the TAPE700, put the cover back on your
computer. For the COMB0700 installation, continue
on to the
next section.
CONFIGURING THE FLOPPY DRIVE FOR COMB0700
1. To configure the floppy drive of the COMB0700 unit as your A drive,
connect the built-in floppy drive
to Connector A: on the existing floppy
drive data cable. Connector
A: is the end connector of that cable
as shown in Figure 6. Connector A: must be used if this is the only
floppy drive in your system.

CONFIGURING THE FLOPPY DRIVE FOR COMB0700 (cont'd)
2. To configure as your B: drive, connect the built-in floppy drive of your
COMB0700 to Connector B: on the existing floppy data cable.
Connector
B: is the middle connector of the existing floppy data cable as
shown in Figure 8.
3. Connect the ground cable if your system requires it.
• Note: You DO NOT need to change your CMOS settings when you
install the COMB0700,
IF the floppy drive you have removed is a
1.44MB floppy drive type.
You MUST change your CMOS settings if the built-in floppy drive is
different than the drive you removed. Consult your computer system
manual for how
to change the CMOS settings.
TAPE LOADING AND EJECTION
Tape Loading
1. Hold the tape with the label facing upward and the tape window
facing the drive.
2. Insert the tape into the tape drive slot keeping the tape as straight
as possible while pushing the center of the tape until the tape cart-
drige snaps and locks into place. When fully inserted, the tape
cartridge extends approximately 0.5" out.
Tape Ejection
1. Hold tape and firmly remove it straight out from drive.
• Caution: To prevent the tape from becoming excessively IDose and
causing damage:
DO NOT eject a tape while it is running Write protectton tab
and the LED is on.
