Carrier Removal
Follow the procedures below to remove the DE150i-SWC carrier from the receiving frame
equipped with the Isolator Board.
1. Verify that the drive is not active. If the system is on a network, make certain other
users are not accessing the target drive, then disable it from the network. Dismount
the drive.
2. Turn the DE150 key lock mechanism (located on the front of the receiving frame),
clockwise to the OFF position. This unlocks the drive from the receiving frame and
activates the Isolator Board. The unit ID number on the display will begin flashing.
WARNING: Be careful not to remove or disturb the carrier unit at this point. Although
the carrier is physically unlocked, the drive requires a minimum of 15
seconds to spin down and is subject to vibration and possible damage
during this period.
3. As the unit ID number flashes, the Isolator Board monitors the activity of the SCSI bus.
When activity is no longer present, the board will remove power from the drive and
then remove the device from the SCSI Bus. The unit ID number will continue to flash
during this period.
4. After a short length of time the unit ID display will turn from a flashing unit ID number
to a steady “u”, indicating that the device is powered down, unlocked and ready to be
removed from the receiving frame.
Carrier Installation
Follow the procedures below to install the DE150i-SWC carrier into the receiving frame
equipped with the Isolator Board.
1. Install the carrier into the receiving frame. A "u" will be present on the front panel.
2. Turn the key lock mechanism, located on the front of the receiving frame,
counterclockwise to the ON position. This locks the drive into the receiving frame
and activates the Isolator Board. The drive will begin to spin up and the unit ID
number on the display will begin flashing.
3. After a short length of time the unit ID display will stop flashing, indicating that
the device is ready to be used.
