Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion
chassis to the power connector on the DE75i-SWC160 receiving frame. Refer
to Figure 5 for the DE75i-SWC160 receiving frame power connector location.
9.
Replace any expansion boards that may have been removed earlier. Replace
the system cover according to the manufacturers 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-SWC160 yet, the front panel LED
indicator on the receiving frame should illuminate.
NOTE:
The lock on the DE75i-SWC160 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.

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-SWC160 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-SWC160 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-SWC160 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-SWC160
carrier in the receiving frame, and LOCK IT INTO PLACE.
