Installation

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 counter-clockwise) 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 com-

puter 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.
