StorCase Technology, Inc. DE300i-SWC160 User's Guide - Rev. B00
8. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion
chassis to the power connector on the DE300i-SWC160 receiving frame. Refer
to Figure 5 for the DE300i-SWC160 receiving frame power connector location.
9. Replace any expansion boards that may have been removed earlier. Replace
the system cover according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
10. Reconnect any system or peripheral cables removed earlier.
11. Turn on power to the computer. If the installation has been successful, and all
cables have been properly attached, the system should boot normally. Although
the computer may not recognize the DE300i-SWC160 yet, the appropriate front
panel LED indicators on the DE300i-SWC160 should illuminate.
NOTE: The lock on the DE300i-SWC160 receiving frame functions as a lock
and a DC power switch for the carrier unit. The lock must be engaged
(turned counterclockwise) in order to supply power to the carrier
and installed drive unit.
12. The new drives may need to be formatted or initialized prior to use with the
operating system and applications software. Refer to the drive and/or computer
manufacturer's documentation for formatting information.
Selecting the Unit ID Number
1. Verify that power is turned on to the DE300i-SWC160 receiving frame by turning
on the computer or external expansion chassis. Numbers should appear in the
unit ID display windows if the carriers are locked into place.
2. Unlock the DE300i-SWC160 drive carrier. The unit ID number will begin flashing,
indicating that the drive is spinning down. The length of time that the unit ID
number flashes is controlled by a small timing switch located on the side of the
receiving frame. Refer to Figure 10 for the location of the Device Spin Down/
Up Timer Switch on the receiving frame. A "u" will be displayed once the drive
has completed spin down and is ready to be removed from the receiving frame.
The indicator will return to the SCSI ID 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 DE300i-SWC160 to select the ID number
of the disk drive. Refer to Figure 9 for the location of the Unit ID Select Switch
inside the receiving frame.
