DE75i-SW160 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 to install is equipped with a plastic front bezel,

remove it.

3.

SCSI Drive Termination: The DE75i-SW160 does not provide onboard

termination. External termination must be provided. Refer to the documentation

provided by the drive manufacturer for termination information.

4.

ID Select Jumpers: Locate the ID select jumper positions on the drive, and

remove any jumper plugs in this area. The ID select cable will be installed into

this section of the drive (Figure 6 and 7).

5.

ID Select Cable: The DE75i-SW160 carrier is supplied with one (1) 5-wire cable.

This cable carries the ID signal between the drive and the carrier. The signal

is then transferred to/from the receiving frame via the carrier and receiving frame

mating connectors. The ID select cable permits unit ID selection via a small switch

located on the inside of the receiving frame (Figure 10). The cable is designed

to connect to drives with 2mm ID select connectors. Attach five (5) connectors

from the carrier unit ID select cable to the appropriate drive pins (Figure 7).

The ID select cable contains black, brown, red, orange, and yellow wires.

The black wire plugs into the pin used to select ID0, the brown wire plugs into

the pin for ID1, the red wire plugs into the pin for ID2, and the orange wire

connects to ID3. Most drive manufacturers label these pins as ID0, ID1, ID2, and

ID3, or similar identification. The yellow wire plugs into the LED activity pin

(Figure 7).

Drives use a row of pins to provide ground to the ID signals. This row of pins

is not used for the DE75i-SW160 installation. One end of the ID select cable

connects to the signal row of ID pins on the drive. The other end of this cable

attaches to the ID select connector on the inside of the carrier (Figures 6 and

7). Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for more information.
