Installation 13
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. If the DE300i-SW160 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 further information.
Turn on the expansion chassis power before turning on the computer system
power.
12. 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 DE300i-SW160 yet, the appropriate front
panel LED indicators on the DE300i-SW160 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 DE300i-SW160 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.
13. 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 host controller instructions for driver
information.
Selecting the Unit ID Number
Each SCSI device on the computer system requires a separate SCSI ID number.
16-bit SCSI interface protocol permits 16 (0-15) 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 informa-
tion.
1. Verify that power is turned on to the DE300i-SW160 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.
2. Unlock the DE300i-SW160 carrier from the receiving frame. The unit number will
begin flashing, indicating that the drive is spinning down. The length of time that
the unit number flashes is controlled by a small timing switch located on the side of
