Digital Storage Products Model DSP5200 Model DSP5350

This document is an installation guide for Digital Storage Products Models DSP5200 and DSP5350 SCSI disk drives. It provides detailed information necessary to configure and install these drives.

The DSP5200 is a full-height 5.25-inch disk drive with a 2000 megabyte capacity, featuring a single-ended (S) or differential (D) SCSI-2 interface. The DSP5350 is a full-height 5.25-inch disk drive with a 3570 megabyte capacity and a single-ended (S) SCSI-2 interface.

Key installation and configuration steps covered include:

• SCSI Address Selection: Setting a unique SCSI ID (0-7) for each device using jumpers on an option connector.
• Spin Up Option: Configuring the drive to spin up automatically on power application or to await a START UNIT command.
• Firmware Load Option: Instructions for updating the drive's internal flash ROM in the field.
• LED Indicator Options: Enabling or disabling onboard Busy (green) and Fault (amber) LEDs.
• Remote Options: Connecting external switches or LEDs for remote SCSI address selection, status monitoring, and AC power failure notification.
• Spindle Synchronization (DSP5350 only): Enabling synchronization via a daisy-chain cable.
• SCSI Bus Termination: Guidelines for proper termination, emphasizing that termination resistor packs for the DSP5200 should only be installed at the end of the bus, and the DSP5350 provides active termination without removable packs.
• Power Connections and Requirements: Details on the +5V and +12V DC power requirements, including typical and maximum current draws, voltage regulation, and ripple/noise specifications.
• Mounting: Instructions for securely mounting the drive, including screw size and clearance, with a caution against using overly long screws.

The guide also provides a summary of functional specifications (e.g., interface type, formatted storage, seek time, transfer rates, rotational speed) and environmental specifications (e.g., operating/non-operating temperature, humidity, altitude) for both models. It stresses the importance of antistatic precautions when handling the disk drives.
