OPERATING THE DISK MODULE
Once the hard disk is operational
and set to the desired mode, it is
ready to be used on the SCSI bus.
NOTE: Refer to the operating system
User Manual for the
operation of the specific hard
disk drive.
NOTE: Depending on the host
operating system, the
computer may or may not
have to be rebooted after
adding a new device. Refer
to the operating system User
Manual.
POWERING DOWN THE HARD DISK
Before the disk can be powered
down, the disk module handle must
be moved from the Fully In position
to the In position.
The Power/Wait LED changes color
from green to red and begins to flash
indicating wait. There is also a single
short tone, which is an audible
acknowledgment that power was
removed from the hard disk drive.
The flashing red light will remain for
about 15 seconds, which is the time-
down or spin-down period. The light
then will go out
WARNING: Do not attempt to pull
the handle further out while
the red wait LED flashes.
Movement of the disk
module could cause physical
damage to the hard disk.
REMOVING THE DISK MODULE
When the red Power/Wait LED
extinguishes, the green center
Active/Remove LED will start to blink,
indicating that the disk module can
be safely removed from the docking
base. Pull the handle Fully Out.
The handle is designed to require a
firm pull in order to prevent acciden-
tal removal of the disk module. The
module will disengage from the
docking base and can now be
removed.
