headstack assembly in the landing zone.
Level 1 Maintenance
Replacement of the entire drive.
Replacement of plug-in EPROM on printed circuit board (PCB).
CAUTION
Do not exchange different EPROMs without
approval from Quantum. The wrong EPROM may
cause user data to be lost, or servo tracks
to be written over and destroyed.

isolating the problem to the HDA or the PCB. Note that
Models Q250 and Q280, and drives with and without DisCache
require different EPROMs, and that drives with DisCache
require a PCB equipped with 64 Kbytes of RAM (U16, U17,
and U18).

listed in SECTION 6. Besides the replacement parts, only
common hand tools are required.
