3. INSTALLATION
3.1 PROCEDURE
3.1.1 ESD PRECAUTIONS
Static electricity kills... electronics! Before handling the AT3515, please observe the
following precautions to avoid ESD damage to the unit:
•
Keep the drive in its shielded bag until ready to install.
•
Ground yourself by touching a grounded chassis frame of the computer, or use a
grounded wrist strap before and during the installation process.
•
Do not touch the exposed drive electronics or connectors. Always handle the drive
by the edges or mounting rails.
3.1.2 CONFIGURATION
Configure the drive using the jumper diagrams given in Section 3.2. The drive is
shipped configured for a single drive system or as the master in a two-drive system.
Change the configuration as required. Never attempt to change the jumpers while the
drive is plugged in and the computer is on.
3.1.3 CONNECTOR
The drive may be interfaced directly to a standard 3.5”, 0.1inch IDE socket connector or
a standard 40pin IDE ribbon and AT power cable. See drawing below for pin 1 location.
Care should be taken when installing the AT3515 into the system, as misalignment can
permanently damage the drive interface connector or electronics.
