9.
Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or
expansion chassis to the power connector on the DE300i-SWC receiving
frame. Refer to Figure 5 for the DE300i-SWC receiving frame power
connector location.
10.
Replace any expansion boards that may have been removed earlier.
Replace the system cover according to the manufacturers instructions.
11.
Reconnect any system or peripheral cables removed earlier.
12.
Turn on power to the computer. If the installation has been successful, and
all cables have been properly attached, the system should boot normally.
Although the computer may not recognize the DE300i-SWC yet, the
appropriate front panel LED indicators on the DE300i-SWC should illuminate.
NOTE:
The lock on the DE300i-SWC receiving frame functions as a lock
and a DC power switch for the carrier unit. The lock must be
engaged (turned counterclockwise) in order to supply power to
the carrier and installed drive unit.
13.
The new drives may need to be formatted or initialized prior to use with the
operating system and applications software. Refer to the drive and/or
computer manufacturer's documentation for formatting information.
Selecting the Unit ID Number
1.
Verify that power is turned on to the DE300i-SWC receiving frame by
turning on the computer or external expansion chassis. Numbers should
appear in the unit display windows if the carriers are locked into place.
2.
Unlock the DE300i-SWC drive carrier and remove it from the receiving
frame. A "u" will be displayed initially when the unit is unlocked but will
return to a SCSI ID number when the carrier is removed from the receiving
frame.
WARNING:
Unlocking the carrier unit switches DC power off to the
drive. Since disk drives require a short amount of time to
spin down, allow about 15 seconds before pulling the
carrier unit out of the receiving frame to avoid possible
damage to the drive.
3.
Use the alignment tool supplied with the DE300i-SWC to select the ID
number of the disk drive. Refer to Figure 9 for the location of the Unit ID
Select Switch inside the receiving frame.
4.
After selecting an appropriate unit ID number, replace the DE300i-SWC
carrier in the receiving frame, and
LOCK IT INTO PLACE
