Before You Start
The Mitsubishi MF357G is a bootable, high capacit y LS-120 flexible disk . It is able to read ultra high density, 120 MB SuperDisk diskettes and is backward compatible with 1.44 MB, 1.2 MB and 720 KB 3.5 inch flexible diskettes.
A special IDE controller or upgraded system BIOS may be required in order to mak e your LS-120 bootable. Please consult with your computer manufacturer or mother­board manufacturer to see if your hardware is capable of support ing the LS -120 driv e as a bootable device.
Precautions
1. Please handle the LS-120 drive carefully. Avoid exposure to ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) which may damage the drive.
2. Do not drop the drive or ex pose it to moisture.
3. Do not remove any cover from the LS-120 driv e, particularly while the drive is in operation. Invisible las er is present while the driv e is operating which may c ause permanent damage to your eyes.
4. Do not use any type of cleaning diskette in the LS-120 driv e unless it carries t he LS-120 logo and has documentation explicitly stating t hat it f unctions wit h the LS-
120.
5. Do not ship or move the LS-120 drive with a diskette installed. The diskette mechanism locks in place when a diskette is ejected to ensure that the drive will sustain no damage during shipping or movement. The mechanism remains unlocked when a diskette is loaded.
6. Tak e care not to bend or break any pins of the drive’s connectors when insert ing or removing cables.
Cleaning the LS-120 Drive
Only use head cleaning disks that are designed for LS-120 SuperDisk drives. The use of cleaning kits designed f or 1.44 MB f loppy disk dr iv es can damage t he LS -120, voiding warranty.
A suitable head cleaning kit, manufactured by Imation, is now available for LS-120 disk drives. It should be used when read and write errors regularly occur. Please follow the instruct ions inc l uded with the kit when using it .

Installation Procedure
Determining Drive Connection a nd Jumper Settings
1. Turn off t he computer, d isconnect th e power cable and remove th e cover.
2. Check your hardware co nfig uratio n to find the app ropri ate LS-120 ju mper
setting.
Check the motherboard and IDE cables to see if there is an IDE connector available, then find the correct jumper setting for the LS-120. Be careful to avoid any conflicts with your existing hardware.
Most motherboards that suppor t Pentium or higher processor s include two on­board IDE controllers: the “Primary” and the “Secondary”. Each IDE controller can support up to two devices: one “Master” device and one “Slave” device. Note that the hard disk drive (HDD) that is used to boot the system (drive C:) will always be the Primary controller’s Master device.
The LS-120 may be configured as either a Master or a Slave device by setting a jumper. Refer to the following connection diagram and the table for the jumper location and settings.

Some Common Configurations
Existing Devices
Primary IDE Secondary IDE New LS - 120 C onnection
Master Slave Master Slave
HDD Secondary Master HDD CD-ROM Primary or Secondary Slave HDD CD-ROM Secondary Master HDD CD-RO M HDD Secondary Slave
Connection Examples:
a) If you have two IDE controllers, find an unused connector. T he main IDE
hard disk drive (drive C:) will usually be the Primary Master. CD-ROM drives are often set as the Master device f or the Secondary IDE controller. If this is the case, select the Slave setting on the LS-120 (by setting the jumper to "SL") and connect the LS-120 to either IDE controller.
b) If you have t wo IDE controllers, but only the Primary is used (for example
with the hard disk as Master and CD-ROM as Slave), select the Master setting on LS-120 (set the jumper to "MA") and connect it to the secondary IDE controller.
c) If you hav e only one IDE controller, with one unused IDE connector, set the
LS-120 as the Slave dev ice, connect ed to the same cable as the hard disk drive.

Drive Installation
1. IDE Interface
Connect the IDE cable between the drive signal interface and IDE cont roller. Make sure that the each of connectors is properly inserted and sec ure. T he interfac e cable has a coloured marking to indicate Pin 1. Check that this coloured marking corresponds to Pin 1 of the drive’s IDE connector and Pin 1 of the IDE contr oller .
2. Power Interface
Connect the Power cable to the 4-PIN Power connector on the drive, making sure that the connector is inserted with red coloured lead at the r ight-hand (outer) side of the connector when the drive is viewed from the rear.
The LS-120 has a 3.5" f loppy disk driv e (F DD) type connect or for it s power inter face. Use an adaptor if the larger HDD type power connector is the only type available.
3. Securing the drive
Secure the drive into the bay by recommended screws.
Drive Model Recommended Screws
MF357G-xxxUx #6-32x1/4", Depth = 4 mm (imperial) MF357G-xxxMx ISO M3, Depth = 4 mm (metric)
Caution:
Do not use screws of excessive length. They may cause
damage to the circuit boar d of t he dr i ve.
Verification of the Installation
Before you put the cov er of the computer back:
Verify that the power and data connections are secure and have the correct
orientation, the jumper setting is correct and that screws are tightly fastened.
Check cabling to avoid any possible damage that may be caused if the cable is
trapped between the PC’s chassis and cover.
