Connecting Expansion Units
The back panel of CP 3100 has Serial ATA (SATA) connectors for accommodating expansion units.
To connect an expansion unit to the CP 3100, you need the Certance CP 3100 Expansion Unit Kit.
To obtain this Kit, please contact your reseller or Certance.
To connect one or more expansion units to the internal CP 3100:
1.
Connect the SATA cable to the
SATA 2
connector on the back panel of the CP 3100 (see
2.
Connect the other end of the cable to the
SATA
connector on the back panel of the expansion
unit.
Powering-up the Internal CP 3100
Re-attach the host computer's AC power cord, then turn on the host computer. The internal CP 3100
powers-up when the computer in which it is installed powers-up.
When the CP 3100 is started for the first time, the following events occur:
•
The CP 3100 boots and turns on four LEDS, one at a time, from bottom to top; then it turns off
the four LEDs in the same way. All LEDs will be off for a short period of time. When the
CP 3100 boots successfully, the topmost LED turns on.
•
If the integrated hard disk has not been initialized, the CP 3100 prepares the disk for use. This
can take from 3 to 5 minutes.
•
The CP 3100 loads the current LED configuration settings, initializes the network interface,
starts the device emulation, and activates its RemoteAdmin management tool.
•
The System LED turns solid green.
Installing the Driver
The CP 3100 appears to the operating system as a DDS-4 or DAT 72 autoloader. If your operating
system or backup software does not recognize the CP 3100, you may need to install the tape drive
and changer drivers, or the backup application software included with the CP 3100. Most backup
applications that support DDS autoloaders will support the CP 3100 with their own drivers, although
you may need to uninstall and re-install your previously used backup application before the
CP 3100 will be recognized. If you plan to use a backup application other than the Windows native
Backup Applet, do not install the Certance drivers at this time.
NOTE. In the unlikely event you encounter a problem at power-up, refer to Chapter 9 for trouble-
shooting suggestions.
IMPORTANT. If the CP 3100 is not recognized after your host computer boots, close all open
applications and “warm boot” the host system while leaving the CP 3100 running.
