Selecting the Unit ID Number

1.

Verify that power is turned on to the DE100i-A receiving frame by turning on

your computer. You should see a number appear in the unit ID display window

if the carrier is locked in place.

2.

Unlock the drive carrier and remove it from the receiving frame. A "u" will be

displayed initially when the unit is unlocked but will return to a number when

the carrier is removed from the receiving frame.

WARNING: Unlocking the carrier unit switches DC power off to the drive. Since

disk drives require a short amount of time to spin down, allow about 15

seconds before pulling the carrier unit out of the receiving frame to avoid

possible damage to the drive.

3.

Use the alignment tool supplied with the DE100i-A to select the ID number of

the disk drive. Refer to Figure 11 for the location of the ID Select Switch inside

the receiving frame. Table 3 lists the valid unit ID numbers you can choose for

your drive.

4.

After you have selected an appropriate unit ID number, replace the DE100i-A

carrier in the receiving frame, and LOCK IT IN PLACE.

NOTE:

The lock on the DE100i-A receiving frame functions as a lock and

a DC power switch for the carrier unit. The lock must be engaged

in order to supply power to the carrier and installed drive.

5.

Reboot the computer. The new disk is now ready for use, although it may have

to be formatted or initialized prior to use with your operating system and

applications software.
