Factory-Installed Jumper (Pins 15 & 17)
– Factory-installed
jumper. DO NOT REMOVE!
Remote Activity LED (RLED)
– These pins provide a remote
LED device activity indicator (Pin 13=Cathode, Pin 14-Anode).
Frame Data Connectivity –
For SATA operation the SATA data
cable must be connected to the SAS/SATA Host 1 Connector.
SATA hard drives do not support the SAS Host 2 Connector. SAS
hard drives can use either SAS Host 1 Connector or SAS Host 2
Connector. The DE75 supports the SAS dual host feature for fail
over protection.
Note:
SAS hard drives require a SAS host. SAS hard drives
will not work with a SATA host.
Frame Installation
For SATA operation connect a SATA data cable to the SATA/SAS
host 1 connector.
For SAS operation connect a SATA/SAS data cable to either
SATA/SAS Host 1 or SAS Host 2 connector.
For dual host capabilities connect SATA/SAS data cables to
SATA/SAS Host 1 and SAS Host 2.
Connect SATA power or ATX power to the power connectors on the
back of the DE75. The DE75 will support either ATX or SATA power.
Slide the frame into an available drive bay and secure the frame.
Drive Installation
1. Carefully insert the drive into the carrier. Slide the drive to-
wards the Drive Carrier Board, so that the I/O connector on the
drive mates with the connector on the Drive Carrier Board. Hold
the drive in place, then turn the drive/carrier assembly over.
2. Fasten the drive into place with the four provided #6-32
Phillips Under Cut Flat Hd. Screws. Some drives may require
minor adjustment to position before securing into carrier with
screws.
3. Install the provided drive cover. Insert the front end of the cover
first and then slide the cover towards the rear of the carrier.
Secure drive cover with the two provided #4-40 Phillips Under
Cut Flat Hd. Screws.
The DE75 SAS/SATA is a low-profile removable hard drive enclosure
designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one (1) 3.5”
low profile Serial ATA (SATA) 3.0 Gb/s or Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
drive, within a standard or undersized 5.25” half-height peripheral
expansion slot. The low profile filler bracket can be removed for
space-constrained mounting.
Note:
The DE75 SAS/SATA frame is not a universal frame
and does not support the DE75 IDE carrier. It is backwards
compatible and will support the DE75 SATA 1.5 Gb/s carriers.
