12 Installation
8. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion
chassis to the power connector on the DE100i-S receiving frame. Refer to Figure
5 for the 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 DE100i-S yet, the appropriate front panel
LED indicators on the Data Express should illuminate.
NOTE: The lock on the DE100i-S 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 DE100i-S receiving frame by turning on
the computer or external expansion chassis. A number should appear in the
unit ID display window if the carrier is locked in place.
2. Unlock the DE100i-S carrier on the receiving frame. Unless the spin down/up
timer has been disabled, the unit ID number will begin flashing, indicating that
the drive is spinning down. DO NOT REMOVE THE CARRIER FROM THE
RECEIVING FRAME WHILE THE UNIT ID NUMBER IS FLASHING. The length of
time that the unit ID number flashes is controlled by a small timing switch located
on the side of the receiving frame. Refer to Figure 11 for information on adjusting
the timer.
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. A "u" will be displayed once the drive has completed spin down and is ready
to be removed from the receiving frame. The indicator will return to the SCSI
ID number when the carrier is removed from the receiving frame.
