8.
Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion
chassis to the power connector on the Ultra320 DE100 receiving frame. Refer
to Figure 5 for the Ultra320 DE100 receiving frame power connector location.
9.
Replace any expansion boards that may have been removed earlier. Replace
the system cover according to the manufacturers 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 Ultra320 DE100 yet, the appropriate front
panel LED indicators should illuminate.
NOTE:
The lock on the Ultra320 DE100 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 com-
puter manufacturer's documentation for formatting information.
Selecting the Unit ID Number
1.
Verify that power is turned ON to the Ultra320 DE100 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 Ultra320 DE100 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 Ultra320 DE100 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 Ultra320 DE100
carrier in the receiving frame, and LOCK IT IN PLACE.
