Drive Preparation
1. Remove the drive from its protective packaging.
2. Plastic Drive Bezel - If installing a hard drive which is equipped with a plastic front
bezel, remove the drive bezel.
3. SCSI Drive Termination - Disable SCSI termination from the drive. Refer to the
documentation provided by the drive manufacturer for the location of these terminators
or jumpers. Termination is provided by an external terminator on the DS100 rear panel.
External active termination is recommended for best SCSI performance (terminator not
included with the DS100).
4. SCSI Drive ID Select Jumpers - Locate the SCSI ID select jumper pins on the drive,
and remove any jumpers on these pins. The DS100 SCSI ID cable will be attached to
these pins on each drive (Figures 7 & 8).
5. SCSI ID Cable - Each DS100 is supplied with one SCSI ID select cable per drive bay.
The ID cable permits external unit ID selection via a small switch located on the rear
panel of the DS100 (Figure 4). One end of this cable attaches to the drive SCSI ID pins
and the other end attaches to the DS100 unit ID select switch. The cable is designed
to connect to drives with 2mm ID select pins.
NOTE: Depending upon the model, the DS100 uses one of two different types of SCSI ID
select switch connectors. One connector contains 0.1" pin spacing with a
matching SCSI ID cable. The other type of SCSI ID connector contains 2mm pin
spacing with a matching SCSI ID cable (Figures 7 & 8).
