Figure 11: Installing the Drive

NOTE: The DS550 is equipped with a removable drive bay partition located on the front

panel of the DS550 (Figure 2). This partition may be removed so that drives can

be spaced apart for increased chassis ventilation.

5. Reinstall the filler panel(s) that were removed earlier (fixed media devices only). Check

the clearance between the newly installed drive(s) and the filler panel(s). If installing

removable media devices, verify that the installed devices are flush with the DS550

front panel.

6. Tighten the drive mounting screws.
7. Connect the SCSI I/O cable(s) to the drive(s). Verify that the Pin 1 indicator on the cable

is properly aligned (Figure 12 ). Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for

specific drive information. StorCase offers several internal SCSI cable configurations

for the DS550 (refer to Appendix B for available internal SCSI cables).

8. Connect the 4-pin DC power cable(s) from the device to the Data Silo power strip

(Figure 8).

9. Reinstall the Data Silo cover and fasten all screws.
10. Connect the external A/C power cord to the Data Silo.

3. Attach the drive activity and drive fault indicator LED cables to the appropriate drive

pins (refer to the device manufacturer's documentation for the location of these pins).

4. Install the drive(s) into the drive mounting bracket using four (4) #6-32 Phillips Pan Hd.

screws (Figure 11). Be careful not to pinch or crimp attached cables. Do not

fully tighten the screws at this point.
