5. Connect the I/O cable from the host adapter to the receiving frame. The Pin 1 indicator
on the cable must be properly aligned. Refer to Figure 5 for the correct Pin 1 location.
6. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion
chassis to the power connector on the DE50 receiving frame. Refer to Figure 5 for
the DE50 receiving frame power connector location.
7. Replace any expansion boards that may have been removed earlier. Replace the
system cover according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Reconnect any system or peripheral cables removed earlier.
9. Turn ON power to the computer. If the installation has been successful, and all the
cables have been properly attached, the system should boot normally. Although the
computer may not recognize the DE50 yet, the front panel display on the DE50
receiving frame should illuminate.
10. The new drive may need to be formatted or initialized prior to use with the operating
system and applications software. Refer to the drive and/or computer manu-
facturer's documentation for formatting information.
Selecting the Unit ID Number
1. Verify that power is turned ON to the DE50 receiving frame by turning on the
computer. A number will appear in the unit ID display window if the carrier is locked
in place.
2. Unlock the DE50 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 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 DE50 to select the ID number of the disk drive.
Refer to Figure 3 for the location of the ID Select Switch on the receiving frame. Table
1 lists the valid unit ID numbers available for the drive.
NOTE: The unit ID number display is for ID display purposes only. The master/
slave setting must still be set on the DE50 unit itself (refer to page 9
of this User's Guide for further information).
4. After you have selected an appropriate unit number, replace the DE50 carrier in the
receiving frame, and LOCK IT IN PLACE.
