RX26 Diskette Drive Option Installation Guide

This document is an Installation Guide for the RX26 Diskette Drive option, published in April 1992 by Digital Equipment Corporation.

It provides detailed instructions for installing the RX26 diskette drive into specific MicroVAX 3100 Models (10, 10e, 20, 20e) and VAXserver 3100 Models (10, 10e, 20, 20e) systems.

Key aspects covered include:

• Configuration: Setting the appropriate drive ID number on the RX26 diskette drive and configuring the SCSI ID address on the associated FDI (Floppy Disk Interface) module (which is required as the RX26 is not a native SCSI device). This involves checking for unused SCSI addresses.
• Physical Installation: Steps for attaching the mounting bracket, securing the FDI module, installing the complete assembly into the system's storage compartment, and connecting all necessary ribbon, SCSI, and power cables.
• Verification: Instructions to power up the system and verify the successful installation using the SHOW DEVICE command at the console prompt.

The guide explicitly states that only qualified personnel should attempt the installation to prevent potential system damage and notes that VMS Version 5.4-3 or later is required for RX26 diskette drive support.
