10.4Drive isolation (AM-990 Universal VME Enclosure)
Disk drives mount inside the AM-990 chassis using plastic slide rails. One rail installs on
each side of the peripheral. Because the mounting rails are made of plastic, they
prevent the drive from making metal to metal contact with the chassis.
For AM-990 installations, no special drive isolation steps need to be taken.
11.0FORMATTING YOUR SCSI DISK DRIVE
All SCSI drives shipped by Alpha Micro are formatted and ready for use, providing you
are using an Alpha Micro computer running AMOS. If you are installing a SCSI disk
drive into a Series 90 computer, you will need to format the drive before it can be used.
For information on how to format SCSI drives for Series 90 computers, see the
installation instructions shipped with a Series 90 type SCSI controller(s).
If you are installing the drive in a computer booting from AMOS, Appendix A has
instructions on creating drivers; making the drive bootable; and instructions on how to
modify your system initialization command file.
