•

The Key Lock/Drive Power Switch performs three (3) functions. The key

lock assures proper seating of the device carrier within the receiving frame,

turns power to the device carrier on and off, and prevents unauthorized

removal or installation of the carrier. For the computer to access data on the

DE300i-SWC disk drive, the key must be turned counterclockwise to the locked

position.

The key can be attached (optional) to the locking mechanism as shown in

Appendix C.

•

The Unit Number Indicator (Figure 4) displays the physical address of the

DE300i-SWC device carrier if the carrier is Installed and Locked in the receiving

frame or if the carrier is Removed from the receiving frame. If the carrier is

Installed but Not Locked in the receiving frame, a "u" will be displayed to

indicate an unlocked condition. The unit ID number is selected by means of the

unit select switch inside the receiving frame using a special alignment tool

supplied with the DE300i-SWC.

•

The Activity Indicator is a small dot next to the Unit ID Number which

illuminates to show when the host computer is accessing the data on the

DE300i-SWC carrier. This dot will flash during communication with the host

computer.

•

Device Spin Down/Up Timer This feature allows the receiving frame unit

number display to provide a visual indication of drive spin down/up activity. A

small timing switch located on the side of the receiving frame allows the

operator to adjust the timer to match the specific drive manufacturer's specifica-

tions (Figure B-3).
