DS500 INSTALLATION
Installing the Drive(s) Into the DS500
While performing the steps in this section, work on a soft surface to prevent excessive shock
to the drive(s) and to protect the finish of the chassis. Refer to the documentation provided
with the drive(s) to be installed to identify appropriate connectors, jumpers, and terminators
on each. A #2 Phillips and a flat blade screwdriver will be required.
Removing the Cover
CAUTION: Remove ALL power from the DS500 before removing the cover. The Data Silo
contains NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS inside the unit.
The physical process of installing drives into the DS500 will involve removing the cable access
cover (and side panels on tower models), fastening the drive(s) into the drive mounting bracket,
connecting the power and I/O cables to the drive(s), and replacing the chassis cover.
1. Unpack the DS500, or if already installed in a rack cabinet, unplug it and verify that
ALL power and I/O cables have been disconnected.
2. Place the unit on a soft, clean surface in a well-lit area with sufficient working space
around the chassis.
3. For Rack Mount Models: Remove the cable access cover (Figure 5).
•
Remove the eight (8) Phillips flat head screws that secure the access cover to
the chassis, then remove the cover.
4. For Tower Models: Remove the side panels (Figure 6).
•
Remove the side panel retaining screw as shown in Figure 6.
•
Disengage the two (2) side panel latches on the side of the DS500.
•
With the side panel partially open, lift the panel vertically to unhinge the tab (lo-
cated at the bottom of the side panel) from the slots in the DS500 base. Remove
the side panels.
