8.

Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or
expansion chassis to the power connector on the Data Express receiving
frame. Refer to Figure 5 for the Data Express 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 Data Express yet, the
appropriate front panel LED indicators on the Data Express should illuminate.

NOTE:

The lock on the Data Express 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 Number

1.

Verify that power is turned on to the Data Express 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 in place.

2.

Unlock the Data Express 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
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 Data Express to select the unit
number of the disk drive. Refer to Figure 10 for the location of the Unit Select
Switch inside the receiving frame.

4.

After selecting an appropriate unit ID number, replace the Data Express
carrier in the receiving frame, and LOCK IT IN PLACE.
