16 Installation
StorCase Technology, Inc. DE50 for Backup User's Guide - Rev. D00
13. 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.
14. 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 manufacturer'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 com-
puter. 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.
4. After you have selected an appropriate unit number, replace the DE50 carrier in the
receiving frame, and LOCK IT IN PLACE.
NOTE: The lock on the DE50 receiving frame functions as a lock and a DC
power switch
for the carrier unit. The lock must be engaged in order
to supply power to the carrier and installed drive.
5. Reboot the computer. The new disk is now ready for use, although it may have to
be formatted or initialized prior to use with your operating system and applications
software.
NOTE: Disable USB device on host computer desktop before turning OFF
power (simply right-click on the "Unplug/Eject Hardware" Icon located
in the System Tray and "disconnect").
