RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
STATEMENT
Warning: This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used
properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference
to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC
Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential
installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installa-
tion. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the inter-
ference by one or more of the following measures: re-orient the receiving antenna; relocate the
computer with respect to the receiver; move the computer away from the receiver; plug the com-
puter into a different branch circuit. If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or authorized
field service representative for additional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet
prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful: "How to Identify and Resolve
Radio-TV Interference Problems". This booklet is available from the U.s. Government Printing

General Description 1
Introduction
The Hewlett-Packard 7957 A and 7958A Disc Drives are random access, data
storage devices designed for use with small and medium sized computer systems.
The formatted storage capacities of the HP 7957A and 7958A are 81 megabytes
and 130 megabytes respectively. In this manual, unless otherwise specified, "disc
drive" refers to both the HP 7957 A and the HP 7958A.
The disc drive employs three (HP 7957 A) or five (HP 7958A) nonremovable
130-millimetre (5.l2-inch) discs for storage media. Each disc surface employs one
movable head to service its data tracks. The bottom surface of the lowest disc
contains continuous prerecorded servo data which is used to ensure the precise
positioning of the read/write heads.
Head positioning is performed by a rotary voice-coil actuator and a closed-loop
servo positioning system. Contamination protection for the heads, actuator, and
media is achieved by enclosing these components in a sealed head-disc assembly
having a built-in air filter.
Also included in the disc drive are a Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus (HP-IB)*
controller and a dc power supply.
The disc drive contains internal self-test diagnostics and a fault-finding system
which exercise key functions of the disc drive. Self test is performed
automatically at power on and can also be initiated by the host computer.
Go/no-go test results are indicated by a green/red indicator on the front panel.
The disc drive is packaged in a stand-alone desktop cabinet. Accessories available
include a desk-height stand-alone cabinet designed to hold the disc drive and
other desktop stack modules. A kit for rack mounting the disc drive in a
standard EIA equipment rack is also available.
This manual provides the information needed to install and operate the disc
drive. Details of the control functions provided by the host computer are
described in the computer's documentation.
