System Components Front Cooling Fan Control Board The front cooling fans' main purpose is to cool the hard disk drives. These fans also have a fan control board like the rear cooling fans. The front cooling fan module consists of a control board, a hard disk drive LED status board, and two cooling fans. The message LED board mounted in the front of the cooling fan module consists of five sets of LEDs to represent the status of up to five hard disk drives. Each set has three LEDs which shows the power, activity, and status of each hard disk drive. II.

AP2000 Hardware Reference Guide II. System Components Fixed Storage Device Tray Internal fixed storage devices are mounted on removable trays. There are four available, one for a floppy device and another three for full-size devices. There are six screws provided (as circled) for mounting a 4 inch device such as a floppy or hard disk drive. Four screws are provided (as boxed) for mounting a 6 inch device such as a CD-ROM or tape drive. Fixed storage device tray Fixed Device Bay Cover Clips The device bay panel is held by two plastic clips on each side. Press these clips in with a screwdriver to release. Removing the device bay cover clips Fixed Device Bay Cover After releasing the device bay cover clips, pry the cover away from the chassis using a screw driver from the front. Removing the device bay cover clips AP2000 Hardware Reference Guide 19 II. System Components Fixed Storage Devices Floppy Drive and CD-ROM The floppy drive fits in the topmost bay along with the power button. A CDROM can fit into either the second, third, or fourth bay from the top. A metal clip on each side of the device tray secures the tray in place. The tray slides in or out on the side rails. IMPORTANT: If using an IDE hard disk drive in this large chassis, it is recommended that only one is installed and with the shortest IDE cable possible. Select ". . . PIO/DMA Mode : 3/1" in BIOS CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP for a more stable IDE operation. Components 20 Removing a floppy or CD-ROM drive Floppy Drive and Storage Device Spacers Spacers are required for cosmetics only. A floppy drive spacer is used to cover the floppy drive and power button. A standard storage device spacer is used to cover the CD-ROM, tape drive, or additional CD-ROMs. [. . . ] FDISK is required to setup a new non-RAID hard disk drive before formatting and installing an operating system. IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) IDE devices integrate the drive control circuitry directly on the drive itself, eliminating the need for a separate adapter card (in the case for SCSI devices). UltraDMA/33 IDE devices can achieve up to 33MB/Sec transfer. LPT Port (Line Printer Port) Logical device name reserved by DOS for computer parallel ports. [. . . ]
