12 Installation
StorCase Technology, Inc. S20A124 User's Guide - Rev. B01
8. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion
chassis to the power connector on the DE300 receiving frame. Refer to Figure
5 for the DE300 receiving frame power connector location.
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. 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 DE300 yet, the appropriate front panel LED
indicators on the DE300 should illuminate.
NOTES: The lock on the DE300 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.
The built-in blower will NOT turn on if there are no drives installed! A
minimum of one (1) drive installed (with the key lock engaged) is required
to activate the built-in blower.
12. 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 DE300 receiving frame by turning on the
computer or external expansion chassis. Numbers should appear in the unit
ID display windows if the carriers are locked into place.
2. Unlock the DE300 drive carrier. The unit ID number will begin flashing, indicating
that the drive is spinning down. The length of time that the unit ID number flashes
is controlled by a small timing switch located on the side of the receiving frame.
Refer to Figure 10 for the location of the Device Spin Down/Up Timer Switch
on the receiving frame. A "u" will be displayed once the drive has completed
spin down and is ready to be removed from the receiving frame. The indicator
will return to the 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 DE300 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.
