Figure D-3: Write Protect Switch
The Data Express write protect switch (DX100-DEWP), easily mounts inside the device
carrier of a Data Express unit. For some drive models this feature provides a convenient
method for system administrators to protect sensitive data by merely engaging the write
protect switch and locking the carrier unit inside it's receiving frame within a system or
expansion chassis. Please contact Kingston Storage for technical assistance regarding
drive connection compatibility.
The following instructions provide information for installing the optional Data Express write
protect switch into the Data Express carrier. Refer to the device manufacturer's instruction
manual for additional information regarding specific jumper options.
1. If installing the write protect switch into a drive that is already mounted in a Data
Express carrier, the drive will probably need to be removed from the carrier unit. Refer
to the device manufacturer's instructions to locate the appropriate jumper pins.
2. If a cable cover or optional drive cover is installed on the Data Express carrier, it will
need to be removed. The write protect switch bracket will replace it.
3. Attach the write protect connector to the appropriate drive pins. Refer to the device
manufacturer's instructions for pin locations.
4. Attach the SCSI cable and power connectors.
