Operation
NOTE: Refer to the TranzPak 6 User
Manual for details about
system operations.
LOCKING THE DISK MODULE AND HARD DISK
When the function switch knob is in
either the left two disk accessing
positions, the disk module handle can
be moved freely from being Fully In to
power the hard disk, to being Fully
Out to remove power from the hard
disk drive and to remove the module
from the docking base.
When the function switch knob is in
either of the right two positions, the
disk module handle is locked and
cannot be moved. The disk module is
locked in the docking base, and the
hard disk is locked in either a
powered or unpowered state (depend-
ing on the position of the module
handle).
In either a Read/Write or Read-Only
disk accessing state (depending on
the position of the function switch).
The main reasons for using a locked
position are to prevent unauthorized
reading and/or writing to the hard
disk, and unauthorized removal of the
disk module.
Depending on the module handle
position, the hard disk drive can be
locked with or without power.
Both the knob and key lock version of
the function switch operate in the
same way. The only difference is that
with the key lock version, a key is
needed to change all positions of the
function switch. When the key is
removed, the function switch position
cannot be changed.
WARNING: Be sure to return the
function switch to the
unlocked mode before
attempting to remove the
disk module.
