INSTALLATION
NOTE: A #1 Phillips screwdriver will be required during this procedure.
Preparation
While performing the steps in this section, work on a soft surface to prevent excessive shock
to the drive being installed. Also refer to the manufacturer's documentation provided with the
drive.
1. Remove the drive from its protective packaging.
2. Plastic Drive Bezel: If the drive came equipped with a plastic front bezel, it must
be removed before installing the drive into the drive carrier.
3. Master/Slave Drive Selection: The DE50 will be factory-configured as a Master
Drive using a jumper plug on the DE50 receiving frame motherboard (Figure 5). This
configuration is based on typical drive specifications.
For multiple drive configurations, it is necessary to set the first Ultra ATA100 drive
as Master and the second Ultra ATA100 drive to Slave. In most cases, this can be
done by changing the jumper position on the DE50 receiving frame motherboard
(refer to page 9 of this User's Guide and the drive manufacturer documentation for
further information).
NOTE: Since specifications (specifically, pin assignments) between drive
manufacturers may vary, please refer to your drive manufacturer's
documentation for information regarding Master/Slave configuration.
Drive Installation
1. Loosen and remove the four (4) M3 Phillips Flat Hd. screws located on the drive
