8.

Reconnect any system or peripheral cables removed earlier.

9.

Turn ON power to the computer. If the installation has been successful, and all the

cables have been properly attached, the system should boot normally. Although the

computer may not recognize the DE110 yet, the front panel display on the DE110

receiving frame should illuminate.

10. The new drive may need to be formatted or initialized prior to use with the operating

system and applications software. Refer to the drive and/or computer manufac-

turer's documentation for formatting information.

Selecting the Unit ID Number

1.

Verify that power is turned ON to the DE110 receiving frame by turning on your

computer. A number will appear in the unit ID display window if the carrier is locked

in place.

2.

Unlock the DE110 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 DE110 to select the ID number of the disk

drive. Refer to Figure 9 for the location of the ID Select Switch inside the receiving

frame. Table 1 lists the valid unit ID numbers available for the drive.

NOTE:

The unit ID number display is for ID display purposes only. The

Master/Slave setting must still be set on the drive itself (refer to

page 7 of this User's Guide for further information).

4.

After you have selected an appropriate unit number, replace the DE110 carrier in

the receiving frame, and LOCK IT IN PLACE.

NOTE:

The lock on the DE110 carrier 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.
