9.

Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or

expansion chassis to the power connector on the DE300i-SWC receiving

frame. Refer to Figure 5 for the DE300i-SWC 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.

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-SWC yet, the

appropriate front panel LED indicators on the DE300i-SWC should illuminate.

NOTE:

The lock on the DE300i-SWC 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. 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 DE300i-SWC receiving frame by

turning on the computer or external expansion chassis. Numbers should

appear in the unit display windows if the carriers are locked into place.

2.

Unlock the DE300i-SWC drive carrier and remove it from the receiving

frame. A "u" will be displayed initially when the unit is unlocked but will

return to a SCSI ID number when the carrier is removed from the receiving

frame.

WARNING:

Unlocking the carrier unit switches DC power off to the

drive. Since disk drives require a short amount of time to

spin down, allow about 15 seconds before pulling the

carrier unit out of the receiving frame to avoid possible

damage to the drive.

3.

Use the alignment tool supplied with the DE300i-SWC to select the ID

number of the disk drive. Refer to Figure 9 for the location of the Unit ID

Select Switch inside the receiving frame.

4.

After selecting an appropriate unit ID number, replace the DE300i-SWC

carrier in the receiving frame, and LOCK IT INTO PLACE.
