8.

Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or

expansion chassis to the power connector on the DE75i-SWC receiving

frame. Refer to Figure 5 for the DE75i-SWC receiving frame power

connector location.

9.

Replace any expansion boards that may have been removed earlier.

Replace the system cover according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

10.

Reconnect any system or peripheral cables removed earlier.

11.

Turn ON power to the computer. If the installation has been successful, and

all cables have been properly attached, the system should boot normally.

Although the computer may not recognize the DE75i-SWC yet, the front

panel LED indicator on the receiving frame should illuminate.

NOTE:

The lock on the DE75i-SWC receiving frame functions as a lock

and a DC power switch for the carrier unit. The lock must be

engaged (turned counterclockwise) in order to supply power to

the carrier and installed drive unit.

12.

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 DE75i-SWC receiving frame by turning

on the computer or external expansion chassis. A number should appear

in the unit display window if the carrier is locked into place.

2.

Unlock the DE75i-SWC 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

SCSI ID 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-SWC to select the ID number

of the disk drive. Refer to Figure 9 for the location of the unit ID select

switch inside the receiving frame.

4.

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

carrier in the receiving frame, and LOCK IT INTO PLACE.
