DE75i-A66 INSTALLATION
Installing the Drive into the Carrier
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.
NOTE: A #2 Phillips screwdriver will be required during this procedure.
1. Remove the drive from its protective packaging.
2. Plastic Drive Bezel: If the drive came equipped with a plastic front panel
(bezel), it must be removed before installing the drive into the drive carrier.
3. Master/Slave Drive Selection: There are two ways to set the Master/Slave
drive designation for the DE75i-A66 unit:
•
Method 1: Use the factory-installed jumper on your IDE drive - In
most cases, the drive will be factory-configured as a Master Ultra ATA/66 drive
using a jumper plug on the drive itself. No configuration changes are required.
For multiple drive configurations, it is necessary to set the first IDE drive as
Master and the second Ultra ATA/66 drive to Slave. This can be done by
changing the jumper on the Ultra ATA/66 drive itself (refer to your drive
manufacturer documentation). This method requires no additional configuration
of the drive carrier circuit board. Skip the Method 2 section below and
continue with the "Installation" section.
• Method 2: Use the hard-wire connector JP3 and/or JP4 on the drive
carrier circuit board - The Master/Slave drive selection is set by both a hard-
wire connection between the drive and the drive carrier circuit board and
jumper(s) JP4 configuration on the receiving frame motherboard. This method
requires the fabrication of a cable wire (not provided). Refer to the section
below to configure the drive carrier circuit board and receiving frame
using this method.
Configuring the Drive Carrier Circuit Board (Method 2)
When configuring the dual drives for interchangeable Master/Slave assignment, it is
necessary to emulate the Master and Slave drive jumpers and the specific drive's signal
polarity definition of Master and Slave.
NOTE: For dual, interchangeable drive configuration, the two drives must be
of the same make and model.
