OPERATING THE DISK MODULE

Once the hard disk is operational

and set to the desired mode, it is

ready to be used on the SCSI bus.

NOTE: Refer to the operating system

User Manual for the

operation of the specific hard

disk drive.

NOTE: Depending on the host

operating system, the

computer may or may not

have to be rebooted after

adding a new device. Refer

to the operating system User

Manual.

POWERING DOWN THE HARD DISK

Before the disk can be powered

down, the disk module handle must

be moved from the Fully In position

to the In position.
The Power/Wait LED changes color

from green to red and begins to flash

indicating wait. There is also a single

short tone, which is an audible

acknowledgment that power was

removed from the hard disk drive.
The flashing red light will remain for

about 15 seconds, which is the time-

down or spin-down period. The light

then will go out

WARNING: Do not attempt to pull

the handle further out while

the red wait LED flashes.

Movement of the disk

module could cause physical

damage to the hard disk.

REMOVING THE DISK MODULE

When the red Power/Wait LED

extinguishes, the green center

Active/Remove LED will start to blink,

indicating that the disk module can

be safely removed from the docking

base. Pull the handle Fully Out.
The handle is designed to require a

firm pull in order to prevent acciden-

tal removal of the disk module. The

module will disengage from the

docking base and can now be

removed.
