Selecting the Unit ID Number

1.

Verify that power is turned on to the DE75i-A66 receiving frame by turning

on the computer. A number should appear in the unit display window if the

carrier is locked in place.

2.

Unlock the DE75i-A66 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 DE75i-A66 to select the ID number

of the drive. Refer to Figure 10 for the location of the Unit ID Select Switch

inside the receiving frame. Table 2 lists the valid unit ID numbers that can

be used for the drive.

NOTE:

If using drive or receiving frame jumpers to determine Master/Slave status,

set the unit number to "0" on the receiving frame.

4.

After selecting an appropriate unit ID number, replace the DE75i-A66 carrier

in the receiving frame, and LOCK IT IN PLACE.

NOTE:

The lock on the DE75i-A66 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 device is now ready for use, although it

may have to be formatted or initialized prior to use with your operating

system and applications software.
