Jumper Options

Most jumper options are configurable via the receiving frame motherboard (Figures 5 & 8).

The Hot Swap Board provides three configurable jumpers, DTA, DTB, and DTC (Figure B-2).

When installed (factory default), these jumpers disable onboard termination at drives A, B, and

C, respectively. If a DE300 drive will be physically located at the end of a SCSI daisy chain,

remove the appropriate jumper to enable termination.

Using the Hot Swap Board

Carrier Removal

Follow the procedures below to remove the Data Express carrier from the receiving frame

equipped with the Hot Swap option.

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 DE300 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 Hot Swap 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.
