INSTALLATION
NOTES: A #2 Phillips screwdriver will be required during this procedure.
Since specifications (specifically, pin assignments) between drive manufac-
turers may vary, please refer to your drive manufacturer's documentation for
exact information regarding Master/Slave and Cable Select configuration.
Preparation
While performing the steps in this section, work on a soft surface to prevent excessive shock
to the drive being installed. Also refer to the manufacturer's documentation provided with the
drive.
1. Remove the drive from its protective packaging.
2. Plastic Drive Bezel: If the drive came equipped with a plastic front bezel, it must
be removed before installing the drive into the drive carrier.
3. Master/Slave Drive Selection: There are two ways to set the Master/Slave Drive
designation for the DE110 unit, as described below.
1. Cable Select Method (Recommended Method): In most cases, the drive will
be factory-configured as a Master Drive using a jumper option on the drive itself.
StorCase however, recommends reconfiguring the drive for Cable Selection
instead. This can be done by configuring the jumper option on the drive itself
(refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for further information).
With Cable Selection, the Master/Slave designation is handled by the Master/
Slave Selection Jumper Option (ID0 & ID1) located on the receiving frame
motherboard (Figure 5). If necessary, reconfigure jumper (jumper is factory-
installed on ID0 for Master Drive designation) on receiving frame motherboard
to ID1 for Slave setting. Skip method below and continue with the Installation
process.
2. Drive Select Method: In most cases, the drive will be factory-configured as
a Master Drive using a jumper option on the drive itself. Reconfigure the jumper
if necessary (refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for exact
Master/Slave jumper settings).
If necessary, reconfigure jumper (jumper is factory-installed on ID0 for Master
Drive designation) on receiving frame motherboard to ID1 for Slave setting.
