Carrier Removal

Follow the procedures below to remove the DE100i-SWCU2 carrier from the receiving frame

equipped with the Isolator Board.

1. Verify that the drive is not active. If the system is on a network, make certain other users

are not accessing the target drive, then disable it from the network. Dismount the drive.

2. Turn the DE100 key lock mechanism (located on the front of the receiving frame),

clockwise to the OFF position. This unlocks the drive from the receiving frame and

activates the Isolator Board. The unit number on the display will begin flashing.

WARNING:

Be careful not to remove or disturb the carrier unit at this point. Although

the carrier is physically unlocked, the drive requires a minimum of 15

seconds to spin down and is subject to vibration and possible damage

during this period.

3. As the unit ID number flashes, the board monitors the activity of the SCSI bus. When

activity is no longer present, the board will remove power from the drive and then

remove the device from the SCSI Bus. The unit ID number will continue to flash during

this period.

4. After a short length of time the unit ID display will turn from a flashing unit ID number

to a steady “u”, indicating that the device is powered down, unlocked and ready to be

removed from the receiving frame.

Carrier Installation

Follow the procedures below to install the DE100i-SWCU2 carrier into the receiving frame

equipped with the Isolator Board.

1. Install the carrier into the receiving frame. A "u" will be present on the front panel.

2. Turn the key lock mechanism, located on the front of the receiving frame,

counterclockwise to the ON position. This locks the drive into the receiving frame

and activates the Isolator Board. The drive will begin to spin up and the unit ID

number on the display will begin flashing.

3. After a short length of time the unit ID display will stop flashing, indicating that

the device is ready to be used.
