THEORY OF OPERATIONS
3.1 CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTIONS
M255XK drives are constructed with high precision components and assembled with
automated techniques. This ensures that the industry standard 5i" flexible mylar
disk, used as the recording medium, has the ability to interchange data with other
5i" disk drives.
As with all high precision equipment, excessive shock and vibration must be
avoided and only trained maintenance personnel should service the unit.
Refer to the Overall Block Diagram in Figure 3-1.
