Connecting an External Diskette Drive

You can connect the optional, 1.2MB, 5 1/4-inch diskette drive

to your LT-286e. Follow these steps:

Make sure both the computer and external diskette drive

(as well as any other peripheral devices) are turned off.

Set DIP switch SW2-2 to identify the drive. When SW2-2

is ON, the external drive is drive B. When SW2-2 is OFF,

the external drive is drive A. See “Setting the DIP

Switches” in Appendix A for details.

Make sure the FDD EXT/INT slide switch is set to FDD

EXT. See “Setting the Slide Switches” in Appendix A.

Place the external diskette drive near the LT-286e.

Lower the interface cover on the front, right side of the

computer (when the front of the computer is facing you).

Connect the interface cable from the external diskette drive

to the EXT FDD port on the right side of the computer, as

shown below.
