Service manual

5) Plug the power and data cables back in to the rear of the drive. Carefully align the

ribbon cable connector with the pins, then push forward firmly.

6) Plug the power cord back in to the outlet, and turn on power to the machine. When

the boot process begins, press the DELete key to open the BIOS Setup screen.

7) From the main BIOS screen, press the down arrow key until the “IDE HDD Auto

Detection” option is highlighted, then press the Enter key. Press the Escape key

twice to exit back to the main BIOS screen. Then press the F10 key to Save and Exit

Setup, press the Y key (yes), then Enter again.

If the Windows boot up process completes normally, the new drive has been

installed correctly.

8) If the F-6100 program has not been pre-installed on the hard drive, install the latest

version from CD-ROM, and any subsequent “patch” update on floppy disc.

9) If a back-up copy of the F-6100 Setup file was previously made to a floppy disc, copy

it now to the C:\ Program Files \ F-6100 directory through Windows Explorer. Over

write the existing Setup file when prompted.

(If no backup is available, Setup values must be entered manually from within the F-

6100 program. The hard copy in the F-6100 owner’s manual binder will contain all

the original calibration settings created at the factory.)

10) Open the F-6100 program from the Desktop icon. Enter all necessary settings

manually at this time, if no backup Setup file was loaded. Make test cuts to verify

proper operation of the machine. Replace bottom 3 screws to hold drive housing in

place, and replace the lower access panel.

3.5” Floppy Disc Drive

Perform Steps 1 – 5 as

above. You may remove

the power and data cables

from the hard drive in

order to more easily

access the floppy drive

cables. (see photos)

Be sure to mark or place

tape on the cables in

advance to help remind

you which drive each

cable is intended for. Re-

insertion of the floppy

drive ribbon and power

cables is a bit trickier than

for the hard drive cable;

use extra care to ensure

that the connector and

pins are properly aligned.
