To which Pete replied...
Not normally. I've never seen one with anything
over the top, except for
one in a tabletop case, of course; and the drawings don't show anything of
the sort. I can't see how you'd fasten any sort of top cover.
Actually, it was supposed to have one, and I just found the references to it
it DEC manuals to prove it. Rackmount RX02's were shipped with a metal
cover, which I have. This is not the same as a desktop metal cover which is
an entirely different animal (which I also have). The trick is, this cover
doesn't actually connect to the RX02! It is mounted into the H960 rack, such
that when you slide the RL02 back into the rack it goes under the cover. See
the RL02 user guide and where they talk about rackmounting they show it and
describe how it is to be mounted. They also show it in the unpacking
section. It is called a "dust cover". Now that I know what it is for and how
it is mounted, I'll mount it in my rack :)
Does the disk itself actually rotate? Is the collet
OK? Is the index
sensor OK? Cable for the head properly connected? When you do this, does
*anything* -- even junk, or a load of zeros -- get loaded into the bottom
of memory?
I shall dig in to this in the next week or two and see. I'd rather not
rerack the stuff, but if that is what I have to do to get the problem to go
away....
Thanks!
