NOTE:
The lock on the DE150i-SWC 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.

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 DE150i-SWC 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 DE150i-SWC 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 DE150i-SWC to select the ID number
of the disk drive. Refer to Figure 9 for the location of the ID Select Switch inside
the receiving frame.
4.
After selecting an appropriate unit ID number, replace the DE150i-SWC carrier
in the receiving frame, and LOCK IT IN PLACE.
NOTE:
The lock on the DE150i-SWC receiving frame serves two functions:
1) as a lock to secure the drive; and 2) as a DC power switch for the
carrier unit. The lock must be engaged (turned counterclockwise) in
order to supply power to the drive carrier.
5.
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.
