Appendix A: Master Controller Features

Drive Indicators

The fixed-disk drive access indicator (located inside the door on the left) lights up
when a fixed-disk drive is in use.

The diskette drive access indicator lights up when the drive is in use.

Disk Drive Requirements and Capacities

The Master Controller uses diskettes and a hard disk drive to store information. The
3.5-inch diskettes are supported with IS-III.

For the Master Controller II+, fixed-disk drives of 100MB and 200MB storage

capacity are available.

For the Master Controller III, fixed-disk drives of 200 MB and 500 MB storage

capacity are available.

Diskette and fixed-disk drives are used to read and write to disks. Fixed-disk media

are permanently installed in fixed-disk drives and cannot be removed. Diskettes are
inserted and removed as needed. The diskette drive has a release button; press it to
eject the diskette.

Diskettes

Preserve the life of diskettes by observing the following guidelines:

Do not put heavy objects on the diskettes.

Store diskettes in a temperature range between 50 and 125 degrees
Fahrenheit (10 and 51 degrees Celsius).

Keep diskettes away from magnetic fields.

Write-protection prevents inadvertent writing or deleting of data on diskettes. If a
diskette is write-protected, the diskette drive cannot write to it. To write-protect a
diskette, turn it over and slide the write-protect tab so the hole is visible.
