The quality of the FD235HSxxx drives provide a trouble-free operation for your computer system if properly installed. The following information will guide you thoroughly through an easy step-by-step method for a proper installation of your floppy disk drive.
Your FD235HSxxx drive must be handled with care. Avoid applying undue force or abnormal strain to the spindle motor, stepping motor or printed circuit board assembly (PCBA).
It is best to hold the drive by the sides. Never loosen the fixing screws of the PCBA.
CAUTION: TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER AND UNPLUG IT FROM THE AC POWER SOURCE BEFORE INSTALLING THE FD235HSxxx. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK. |

Remove cover from your computer. Refer to your computer manual for this procedure. |

The floppy interface cable is the flat ribbon type, and the power connector consists of the 4 separate wires attached to a single connector. |

If this is the only device connected to your SCSI card, then make sure termination is enabled; otherwise, you need to verify that the drive's SCSI ID # does not conflict with any of the other devices connected to the chain; if the drive is not connected at the end of the chain, then you need to disable termination as well. |
2. |
Use a standard 50-pin SCSI interface cable to complete the installation. |
3. |
Connect the FD235HSxxx floppy disk drive to the 50-pin SCSI cable. |
1. |
Slide the drive into the available standard 1" high bay. |

Locate the SCSI cable, and connect the red or blue stripe into pin # 1 in the drive, which is located towards the power connector in the drive. |
3. |
Connect the power connector to the drive. |
4. |
Place the screws through each set of holes in the drive. |

Be sure to have a copy of the SCSI Command Set manual so you can create your own drivers to make the interface possible between the FD235HSxxx and your SCSI application. Refer to the Driver Information section for details. |
