Figure B-3: Device Spin Down/Up Timer

NOTE:

The timer for device spin down is controlled by a small selector, located in a cutout

on the side of the DE75i-SW receiving frame as shown in Figure B-3. When the

key is turned to the OFF position, and when the timer receives a "No SCSI Activity"

signal from the Hot Swap Board, it waits the specified delay time before displaying

a “u” on the front panel of the receiving frame. The amount of time required for

a drive to spin down is approximately 15 seconds or more. This number can vary

depending on the type of SCSI device and manufacturer (some drives may require

45 seconds or more). The factory configuration is set for 20 seconds. A different

delay time may be selected with the provided alignment tool. Refer to the SCSI

device manufacturer’s manual for more information on required device spin down

time.

Carrier Installation

Follow the procedures below to install the DE75i-SW Carrier into the receiving frame equipped

with the Hot Swap option.

1. Install the carrier into the receiving frame. A "u" will be present on the front panel,

indicating that the carrier is in an unlocked condition.

2. Turn the key lock mechanism, located on the front of the receiving frame, counter

clockwise to the ON position. This locks the drive into the receiving frame and activates

the Hot Swap Board. The drive will begin to spin up and the unit number on the display

will begin flashing.

3. After a short length of time the unit display will stop flashing, indicating that the device

is ready to be used.
