7.

Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion

chassis to the power connector on the DE100i-SWC160 receiving frame. Refer

to Figure 5 for the receiving frame power connector location.

8.

Replace any expansion boards that may have been removed earlier. Replace

the system cover according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

9.

Reconnect any system or peripheral cables removed earlier.

10.

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-SWC160 yet, the front panel LED

indicator on the receiving frame should illuminate.

NOTE:

The lock on the DE100i-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.

11.

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-SWC160 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 into place.

2.

Unlock the DE100i-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 DE100i-SWC160 to select the unit ID

number of the disk drive. Refer to Figure 10 for the location of the unit ID select

switch inside the receiving frame.

4.

After selecting an appropriate unit ID number, replace the DE100i-SWC160

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