Installation 1
INFOSTATION INSTALLATION
CAUTION: The InfoStation contains NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS inside the unit.
NOTES: A #2 Phillips screwdriver will be required.
Warranty is VOID if any of the modules inside the InfoStation are opened.
Refer ALL servicing to qualified service personnel!
Before removing any component from its packaging, discharge any
static electricity by touching a properly grounded metal object.
VHDCI connectors are easily damaged by improper handling. Visually
inspect each connector for bent contacts and carefully align prior to
insertion.
For user information, refer to the InfoStation User's Guide.
Installing the Drive(s) into the InfoStation
While performing the steps in this section, work on a soft surface to prevent excessive shock
to the drive(s) being installed. Also refer to the manufacturer's documentation provided with
the drive(s).
Drive Preparation
1. Remove the drive from its protective packaging.
2. SCSI Drive Termination - Disable SCSI termination from the drive. Refer to the
documentation provided by the drive manufacturer for the location of these termi-
nators or jumpers.
Refer to section "Termination of the SCSI Bus at the VHDCI Connectors" in the
InfoStation User's Guide for further information.
Carrier Preparation
The InfoStation is shipped in a container designed to provide protection and prevent damage
during shipment, as confirmed by the International Safe Transit Association (ISTA Procedure
1A).
The drive carriers are individually packed in a special foam insert within the InfoStation shipping
carton. Simply remove them from the foam insert when ready for use.

Installing a Drive into the Drive Carrier
NOTE: Before installing the drive into the carrier, the ID jumpers and spin-up option
jumper on the disk drive must be removed. This is required so that the
InfoStation itself can set the drive SCSI ID and spin-up option.
1. Install the drive(s) into the drive carrier(s). Drive(s) must be side-mounted into the
drive carrier(s) using #6-32 Phillips Pan Hd. screws (Figure 3).
2. After the drive(s) have been installed in to the drive carrier(s), carefully insert the
carrier(s) back into the chassis (refer to section "Inserting a Drive into the Chassis"
for further information).
