Getting Started
1. Set the hard disk you are installing in the Kazan as master drive according to the
manufacturer's instructions. New hard disks are typically already configured as
master drives.
2. Lava recommends installing an already-formatted hard drive into the Kazan Drive
Enclosure. New drives may already be formatted by the manufacturer. FAT or FAT32
formatted drives are the easiest to troubleshoot.Some NTFS-partitioned drives
occasionally may not work.
To externally format a hard drive in Windows, attach the drive to a motherboard
connector and partition it with FDISK.EXE before installing it into the external drive
enclosure. Format the drive with FORMAT.EXE.
If it is not possible to format the hard drive before installing it into the drive
enclosure (in the case of notebook computers,for instance), it is possible to format
the hard drive inside the enclosure when using Windows 2000 or XP.
3. The Kazan ships with a small plastic bag containing the ribbon cable connector
and screws used for assembly.
See
www.lavalink.com for instructions.

Before Proceeding:To prevent damage to the Kazan's electronics,
touch a bare metal portion of your computer's case or a similar
grounded metal surface with your finger to discharge any static
electricity your body may have.

Release Notes
Windows Error Messages:
Drive Data Capacity:
Installing the Kazan USB 2.0 Drive Enclosure in Windows 98SE:
Western Digital drives:
At times Windows' Device Manager or the Properties
dialog box of the drive's System Tray icon will give a "This device cannot start (Code
10)" error message or a "This device is either not present,not working properly,or does
not have all the drivers installed (Code 28)" error message when attempting to access a
drive in a Kazan. First ensure that the power,data, and IDE cables are all correctly and
snugly attached. Check the power supply's LED indicator is green to verify it is
operating.If the problem persists, ensure that the hard drive has been formatted as
described above.
The limit on drive size for the IDE drive enclosure is set by the
limit of addressability in the industry-standard ATA specification for hard drives
generally.In the case of the ATA interface implemented in the drive enclosure, 28 bits
are given to the sector number interface between the operating system, the BIOS, and
the hard disk. A hard disk can therefore have at most 2^28 or 268,435,456 sectors of
512 bytes.The ATA interface,and the drive enclosure as a result, has a maximum
capacity of approximately 137.4 GB.
To use the Kazan
USB 2.0 Drive Enclosure with a Windows 98SE system, run the tppinst.exe file which
can be downloaded from www.lavalink.com. Once this file is run, you will be able to
connect and install the Kazan USB 2.0 Drive Enclosure using the Lava driver disk when
prompted by Windows.This will enable the Kazan to operate as a USB 1.1 external
device.
Some new Western Digital drives do not work in the Kazan
enclosure.Western Digital drives manufactured after November 15, 2001 should NOT
have this problem.
