Zodiak Installation Planning Guide

Installation

Removable Media Drives

Four removable media drives are standard components of a Zodiak
system:

A CD-ROM in the Menu panel (see

Figure 8

),

An external 250 MB Zip drive connected through and powered by the
USB port on the Menu panel (see

Figure 9

), and

Two standard 1.4 MB 3.5 in. floppy disk drives, one in the Main Panel
tub (see

Figure 2

) and one in the Video Processor frame (see

Figure 18

).

Note

The floppy disk drives are used exclusively for emergency boot procedures.

Installation

Main Panel

Main panel installation requires careful attention to the console support
structure and the console cutout dimensions necessary to accommodate the
mounting flanges located on the front and sides of the tub (

Figure 2

).

CAUTION

The Main panel weighs approximately 36 kg (79 lb). Prior to installation,
ensure that your console is structurally capable of supporting the Main panel.

The Main panel was designed to be flush mounted in a console, but it may
also be surface mounted.
