Installation 13
8. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion
chassis to the power connector on the DE200 receiving frame. Refer to Figure 5 for
the receiving frame power connector location.
9. Replace any expansion boards that may have been removed earlier. Replace the
system cover according to the manufacturer’s 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 DE200 yet, the appropriate front panel LED indicators on the
Data Express should illuminate.
NOTE: The lock on the DE200 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 computer manufacturer's
documentation for formatting information.
Selecting the Unit ID Number
1. Verify that power is turned on to the DE200 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 DE200 carrier from the receiving frame. Unless the spin down/up timer has
been disabled, the unit ID number will begin flashing, indicating that the drive is spinning
down. DO NOT REMOVE THE CARRIER FROM THE RECEIVING FRAME WHILE THE UNIT
NUMBER IS FLASHING. The length of time that the unit ID number flashes is controlled
by a small timing switch located on the side of the receiving frame. Refer to Appendix
B for information on adjusting the timer.
WARNING: Unlocking the carrier unit switches DC power off to the drive. Since drives
require a short amount of time to spin down, allow at least 15 seconds
before pulling the carrier unit out of the receiving frame to avoid possible
damage to the drive.
3. A "u" will be displayed once the drive has completed spin down and is ready to be
removed from the receiving frame. The indicator will return to the SCSI ID number when
the carrier is removed from the receiving frame.
4. Use the alignment tool supplied with the DE200 to select the unit ID number of the disk
drive. Refer to Figure 10 for the location of the ID Select Switch inside the receiving
frame.
5. After selecting an appropriate unit ID number, replace the DE200 carrier in the receiving
frame, and LOCK IT IN PLACE.
