DE50 IDE Install Guide

Removable Ultra ATA 100 Drive Enclosure

NOTE: For Ultra ATA100 (100MByte/sec) operation, an Ultra ATA100 control-

ler and hard drive(s), and appropriate 40-pin, 80-conductor cable are required.

Drive Carrier Installation

1. Loosen and remove the four (4) M3 Phillips Flat Hd. screws located on

the sides of the drive carrier unit. Save these screws for Step 6.

2. Since the drive carrier unit is shipped pre-assembled, disassemble the

drive carrier unit into its three (3) main components (Figure 1).

3. Install the Drive Carrier Circuit Board (cable-side down) onto the drive

by attaching the I/O cable on the board to the drive.

4. Set Master/Slave drive designation. There are two ways to set the

Master/Slave drive designation for the DE50 unit, as described below.

NOTE: The information below is based on typical drive specifications.

Since specifications (specifically, pin assignments) between drive

manufacturers may vary, please refer to your drive manufacturer’s

documentation for information regarding Master/Slave configuration.

Cable Select Method (Recommended Method)

In most cases, there is no need to reconfigure the jumper on JMP1 located

on the rear of the drive carrier circuit board. A factory-installed jumper on

Pins B & D forces the drive into a Cable Select configuration (Figure 2).

With Cable Selection, the Master/Slave Drive designation is handled by

the Master/Slave Selection Jumper Option (J2) on the receiving frame

motherboard. If necessary, reconfigure jumper (factory-configured jumper

is for Master Drive designation). Skip section “Drive Select Method” and

continue with Step 5 of the Installation process.

Drive Select Method

In most cases, this method forces the drive into either a Master or Slave

Drive configuration. This method will override any configuration of the Mas-

ter/Slave Selection Jumper Option (J2) on the receiving frame motherboard.

The J2 jumper option is instead used to configure the unit ID display.

Master Drive

Remove the jumper from JMP1. Typically, no jumper installed on JMP1

forces the carrier into a Master Drive configuration (Figure 2).
Leave the J2 jumper option (on the receiving frame motherboard) as is for

Master Drive ID display purposes (factory-configured jumper is for Master

Drive designation).

Slave Drive

Install the jumper on JMP1 Pins C & D (Figure 2). Typically, a jumper

installed on Pins C & D forces the drive into a Slave Drive configuration

(refer to the drive manufacturer’s documentation for exact master/slave

jumper settings and reconfigure the jumper as necessary).

Configure the J2 jumper option for Slave Drive ID display purposes.

5. Carefully turn the drive/circuit board assembly upside-down (drive is

bottom-mounted into bracket). Install the drive mounting bracket and

secure with four (4) M3 screws (provided).

NOTE: Make sure that the drive circuit board is properly seated in

the mounting bracket slot before tightening screws.

6. Carefully insert the drive/bracket assembly into the top cover and

secure with the four (4) M3 screws (saved from Step 1).
