[comp.sys.apollo] Apollo Floor stand

danny@idacom.UUCP (Danny Wilson) (09/04/89)

For those who have been arguing how to stand a node on its end.

The logo panel on the front of the machine (which says
'Apollo' or 'Mentor' etc, and has the leds on the it)
can have to positions.

By pushing in slightly, it is possible to rotate 90-deg to the right.
Therefore, we can assume that the node is designed to either lie flat
or have the tape drive -up-.

This example is for a DN30x0 and it is logical to assume it can 
be also applied to a DN35x0.

For those of you trying to rotate the label on a DN35x0 or 45x0 you can give
up now. Too bad though it was a nice feature.

(Older?) DN3000s do not bear the "APOLLO" legend on the rotatable plate.
Also, the plate on my DN4500 is not rotable(meaning, "horizontal only"?).

That is, however, a bright observation.
