Adtron I35MB Operations Manual
Introduction
The Adtron™ Diskpak™ Model I35MB with Adtron ActiveRAID™ technology
incorporates RAID-1 mirroring in a 3.5-inch hard disk form factor. RAID-1 mirroring
between two hard disk drives provides data redundancy and rebuild independent
from the host CPU. With both disk drives functioning properly, the I35MB keeps
both disk drives automatically updated. If one of the drives fails, the system
continues to operate on a single disk drive until the I35MB is removed from the
chassis and the failed drive is replaced. When the I35MB is reconnected and
powered up, a rebuild can be initiated on the I35MB concurrent with host activity.
Once the rebuild is manually started, it continues unattended until complete.
ActiveRAID technology significantly reduces the probability of a data storage failure
causing an overall system failure.

Static Sensitive – The I35MB is a static sensitive device. While setting
jumpers, take precautions to ensure that static does not discharge into the
I35MB.
I35MB Jumper Settings
The master/slave and remote LED jumper is located on the front of the I35MB,
between the IDE and power connectors. This jumper is used to set master, slave,
cable select configurations and to mount a remote Activity LED. Refer to Figure 2 for
the location of this jumper.
The following figure shows the jumper location on the I35MB:

When a jumper is placed on pins 3 and 4, the I35MB is the master device (default).
With a jumper placed on pins 1 and 2, the I35MB is the slave device. When a jumper
is placed on pins 1 and 3, the cable select configuration is utilized. Refer to the above
Figure for pins and jumper placements.
Setting a Remote-Mounted Activity LED
A remote-mounted Activity LED may be used with the I35MB. Refer to Figure 4 for
the pin location and setting.

Interface Connectors
The I35MB has an interface connector located on the front panel. Using an 80conductor cable (40-pin connector); connect the I35MB to the primary or secondary
ports on the IDE controller. Plug a power cable from the computer’s power supply
into the I35MB power connector. The I35MB does not require 12V. Refer to the
Figure below, for the location 40-pin connector and power supply.

I35MB Installation
Introduction
The I35MB is a 3.5-inch hard disk drive and mounts into a standard 3.5-inch hard
disk drive bay. The drive may be mounted from the side or the bottom.
DO NOT exceed the maximum insertion depth of 3.8mm [.150”] from drive edge.
Consider the length of the screw used and thickness of the mounting surface. A
common screw length of 3/16” is provided, but may not be correct in all
applications.

Refer to Figure 6 on page 5 for mounting hole locations.
Static Sensitive - The I35MB is a static sensitive device. When installing
and uninstalling the I35MB, take precautions to ensure that static does not
discharge into the I35MB.

Adtron I35MB Operations Manual
Inserting the I35MB
To install the I35MB in the hard disk drive bay:
1. Power down the computer and remove the cover.
2. Make sure that you are properly grounded.
3. Set the master/slave to desired configurations. By default, the I35MB is set to
master.
4. Select a 3.5-inch drive bay that houses either a floppy or hard disk. If the chassis
provides a front removable panel, the buzzer reset and fault LEDs can be viewed
by removing the plastic panel on the chassis.
5. Using an 80-conductor cable (40-pin connector) connect the I35MB to the IDE
primary or secondary IDE ports.
6. Connect the power supply to the I35MB.
7. Mount the I35MB into the appropriate disk drive bay, using screws to secure the
I35MB in the chassis. See Figure 6 for mounting holes, screw size and maximum
depth.
8. Put the cover on the chassis and screw it down.
9. Power on the computer.

Removing the I35MB
To remove the I35MB from the hard disk drive bay:
1. Make sure that you are properly grounded.
2. Power down the computer.
3. Remove the chassis casing.
4. Disconnect the 80-conductor cable and the computer power supply cable from
the I35MB.
5. Unfasten the mounting screws and remove the I35MB from the disk drive bay.
Basic Operation
The I35MB operates as a storage subsystem that can be used as a boot device or as
additional storage.
Partitioning and Formatting
To the operating system, the I35MB looks like a single disk drive. All RAID-1
functions occurring in the I35MB are transparent to the operating system. Use the
operating system utilities to partition and/or format the I35MB hard disk drive.
Operating System Installation
The I35MB can be formatted like any standard hard disk drive – bootable for
operating system function or not bootable. Any standard disk partitioning and
formatting utility can be used. Any operating system chosen that is compatible with
IDE devices will be acceptable for use with the I35MB. The method of installing a
specific operating system can vary, so consult the operating system documentation
for instructions.
