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 - The last drive on any SCSI channel must have termination
enabled. In most instances, depending upon the cable configuration, termination will
be handled by an external terminator on the DS400 back panel. If using an external
terminator, disable onboard drive termination. In some RAID configurations, onboard
drive termination is mandatory (refer to the manufacturer's instructions which ac-
company the optional equipment for SCSI termination requirements). Refer to section
"Connecting the DS400 to a Computer System" for additional SCSI connection
information.
4. SCSI ID Selection and Device Jumper Configuration - Determine the location that
each device will occupy within the DS400 chassis and label each device accordingly.
Refer to the device manufacturer's documentation if necessary, for the location of the
SCSI ID pins. Select a unique ID for each device connected to a single host, and position
the SCSI ID jumpers on the pins according to the device manufacturer's instructions.
Label each drive with the SCSI ID number to facilitate installation.
Selecting the same SCSI ID number(s) on different devices may cause unpredictable
results and the computer system may not recognize the installed device(s). If the
computer system can not recognize the boot disk, the computer system may fail to
properly start up.
The SCSI ID is an address number (0-7 for 8-bit protocol and 0-15 for 16-bit protocol)
that is assigned to each SCSI device. Each device in the chain must have a unique
SCSI ID number. SCSI ID 7 is usually reserved for the host controller. If the computer
system is already equipped with internal or external SCSI storage devices, some ID
numbers will already be reserved. For instance, if the computer system came with
an internal SCSI hard drive, it may be designated as SCSI device 0. Refer to the
computer system documentation for additional information. If the drives are to be
attached to a RAID controller, refer to the RAID controller's documentation for SCSI ID
selection information.
5. If installing 3.5" devices into the DS400, attach the 3.5 " adapter brackets (included)
to the drives (Figure 6). The adapter brackets can be attached to the drive with four
(4) #6-32 Phillips screws.
6. Connect the 4-pin DC power cable(s) to the power connector(s), located on the rear
of the device(s) (Figure 7).
