4. After all drive’s are in the drive tray, place all of them back into
the RAID subsystem. To do this slide in drive tray as show in
Fig. 5 making sure lever is at 90-degree angle from the RAID
subsystem. This is important so as not to damage the
hot-swap trays.
5. Make sure you let the lever engage by itself.
6. Give a final push of the drive tray to make sure it is seated
firmly into the back plane.
7. Once it is seated firmly, click the lever in place.
• Step 5 Mounting RAID subsystem in System
Remove the cover and front bezel from the computer case. The
RAID subsystem RAID Enclosure requires three consecutive 5.25”
drive bays. Examine the chassis to make sure the 3 x 5.25” bays
space is free of wires and other obstructions so the RAID subsys-
tem can slipped into the bay with ease. Fasten the flanges to the
front of the chassis. There should be 6 screws for each side.
• Step 6 Connecting RAID subsystem Power
Connect two free power cables to the power connector on the rear
side of the RAID subsystem. Below is recommended way to con-
nect module to Power Supply.
• Step 7 Connecting RAID subsystem to HOST IDE Channel
(ARC-5030)
The ARC-5030 supports one parallel IDE connector and one serial
ATA on the back plane. User can use the parallel IDE or the serial
ATA or both two. Follow these steps to connect HOST IDE Channel
to the RAID subsystem using the 80-pin UDMA/133 cable included
in your kit.
1. Connect the 80-pin, UDMA/133 cable to RAID subsystem IDE
connector. The UDMA cable has a blue and a black connector.
The blue connector should always be connected to the
controller card or on-board IDE connector. The black connector
should always be connected to the RAID subsystem. Reversing
the connection degrades the performance.
2. Plug the Blue end of the cable to one of the UDMA connectors
on the system.
3. Plug the Black end of the cable to your RAID subsystem.
Simply follow these steps to connect HOST Serial ATA channel and
