16 Installation
9. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion
chassis to the power connector on the Data Express receiving frame. Refer to
Figure 5 for the Data Express receiving frame power connector location.
10. Replace any expansion boards that may have been removed earlier. Replace the
system cover according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
11. Reconnect any system or peripheral cables removed earlier.
12. If the Data Express has been installed into an external expansion chassis, connect
the SCSI and power cables to the chassis. If the expansion chassis is at the end of
a daisy chain, make certain that it is properly terminated. Refer to the computer
system and expansion chassis manuals for information on how to do this. Turn on
the expansion chassis power
before turning on the computer system power.
13. 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 Data Express yet, the appropriate front panel
LED indicators on the Data Express should illuminate. If the system does not boot
properly, there could be a SCSI ID conflict. Refer to the following section
Selecting
the Unit Number.
NOTE: The lock on the Data Express receiving frame functions as a lock and a DC
power switch for the carrier unit. The lock must be engaged (turned counter-
clockwise) in order to supply power to the carrier and installed drive unit.
14. The new drives may need to be formatted or initialized prior to use with the
operating system and applications software. Additionally, an appropriate driver may
need to installed for the host controller to recognize the newly installed device.
Refer to the drive and/or computer manufacturer's documentation for formatting
information. Refer to the SCSI host controller instructions for driver information.
Selecting the Unit Number
Each SCSI device on the computer system requires a separate SCSI ID number.
8-bit SCSI interface protocol permits 8 (0-7) unique SCSI ID numbers. Usually, ID7 is
reserved for the host controller. If the computer system has any internal or external SCSI
devices, some ID numbers may already be reserved. For instance, if the computer system is
already equipped with an internal SCSI hard drive, the drive may be designated as SCSI
device "0". Refer to the computer system documentation for additional information.
1. Verify that power is turned on to the Data Express receiving frame by turning on the
computer or external expansion chassis. A number should appear in the unit display
window if the carrier is locked into place.
