INSTALLING THE AM-212-20
The following sections explain how to install the SCSI floppy drive and cable it to your computer.
Follow the instructions in your computer Owner's Manual for turning off the power to the system. Be
sure to observe the cautions concerning electrostatic discharges and grounding.
The AM-212-20 must be installed in one of the three 5-1/4" mounting bays at the top and front of your
computer system chassis. Before proceeding with the installation, make sure all jumper settings are
installed per the previous section, and orient the floppy diskette drive so that the SCSI connector and
jumper blocks are facing upwards.
Complete instructions for installing SCSI peripherals are included in the service manual for the Eagle
series, AM-6000, and other computers that use the Eagle deskside or AM-990 chassis. Use these
instructions to install your AM-212-20 floppy diskette drive and then use the instructions in this
document to complete the software portion of the installation.
Once the physical installation is complete, make sure to plug in both the power and SCSI bus cable to the
floppy drive. See the following caution for SCSI cabling abnormality.
Note that the SCSI connector orientation is such that a twist in the SCSI cable is required to mate
pin 1 of the cable with pin 1 of the floppy drive SCSI connector.

Three software files are required for complete operation of the AM-212-20 SCSI diskette drive in
addition to the standard AMOS release software contained on the 10/98 AlphaCD. These files or updated
versions, will be included in future standard AMOS releases. These files may be obtained from Alpha
Microsystems' TABBS on-line support system, or the 04/99 or later AlphaCD.
