SuperSwap Manual

Fix: 

Make sure that there is indeed a drive installed correctly in a  drive 
carrier with the power and data cables properly attached.  

Cause:  The drive is not jumpered correctly. 

Fix: 

Consult your drive manufacturer’s manual or the drive casing itself 
and jumper the drive for “single” drive operation. 

Event:  If HDD is set to the slave position (and no Master present), it 

needs to be attached at the far end connector not the 
middle connector. 

Cause: The Master/Slave selecting of SuperSwap box depend on the cable 

select.   

Fix: 

Thus you must put on slave position of the cable when you set the 
drive in slave mode.    It mean that you can direct use the cable 
select to do the Master/Slave selecting or Drive setting in Master 
mode and put on Master position of cable Drive setting in Slave 
mode and put on Slave position of cable. 

   

If the above items all seem okay, but the LED still remains unlit, 
you may try placing a known good drive with its carrier in the slot 
and see if the LED lights up. If the LED still remains unlit, then 
there is either a problem with the connection (the data cable 
attached to this channel or the controller card connection itself) or, 
although highly unlikely, a damaged LED. Verify that the drive 
connected to this channel is not working. If the drive is working, 
then the LED should be replaced. If the drive is not working, then it 
is a connection problem.
