TAPE DRIVE MOUNTING PROBLEMS
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation problems have been reported using AST external drive mounting
|
|
brackets (part number 200434-001) and certain tape drives in early Tower
|
|
systems. The problem is caused by a mechanical alignment incompatibility
|
|
between these brackets and TechMar, Cipher Wangtek (model 5150E) and Archive
|
|
(model 2150S) tape drives.
|
|
|
|
AST has resolved this problem with a new design of external mounting
|
|
brackets (part number 200582-001), which are now shipped with all Premium
|
|
computers housed in the Tower chassis. In addition, these brackets are
|
|
shipped with computers housed in the mid-size chassis (i.e., Premium II and
|
|
Bravo 486).
|
|
|
|
Users of AST Premium Computers experiencing problems, when installing any of
|
|
the above tape drives in AST Premium systems that require external drive
|
|
mounting brackets, should contact an AST Service Center or AST Product
|
|
Support to obtain new brackets.
