5. Adjust the front of the receiving frame so the carrier slides freely in and out on
the receiving frame guides. The position of adjoining peripheral units may require
adjustment.

6. Connect the I/O cable from the host adapter to the receiving frame. The Pin 1
indicator on the cable must be properly aligned. Refer to Figure 5 for the correct
Pin 1 location on connector J3.

NOTE: Make sure that only the last SCSI device is terminated. No onboard ter-

mination is provided on the Ultra320 DE100. External termination must
be provided.

4. With the drive carrier locked into place inside the receiving frame, install the
Ultra320 DE100 receiving frame into the drive bay in the computer or expansion
chassis. Use the appropriate guides to position the Ultra320 DE100, and fasten
it into place with the four (4) #6-32 Phillips screws provided. Figure 9 illustrates
the location of the mounting holes. Mounting holes are provided on each side
and the bottom of the receiving frame to accommodate a variety of mounting

the computer may not recognize the Ultra320 DE100 yet, the front panel LED
indicator on the receiving frame should illuminate.

NOTE: The lock on the Ultra320 DE100 receiving frame functions as a lock and

a DC power switch for the carrier unit. The lock must be engaged (turned
counterclockwise) in order to supply power to the carrier and installed
drive unit.

11. The new drive may need to be formatted or initialized prior to use with the
operating system and applications software. Refer to the drive and/or computer
manufacturer's documentation for formatting information.

SelectingtheUnitID Number

18 Appendix B - Attaching the ON/OFF Key

StorCase Technology, Inc. Ultra320 DE100 User's Guide - Rev. A00

The following information describes the necessary steps to attach the ON/OFF key to the key
lock mechanism so that it is non-removable, preventing accidental key loss. The procedure
can be reversed at a later date to revert back to a removable key.

1. Make certain power is OFF to the receiving frame.

Locate the rectangular-shaped key lock mecha­nism access hole on the inside of the receiving
frame. Note that the pawl is in an upright position.

Insert the key into the key lock.

2. Rotate the key 90 degrees counterclockwise so
that the pawl is visible in the access hole as
shown in the figure at left.

3. Using the provided alignment tool, unscrew and
remove the pawl from the access hole.

4. Rotate the key 180 degrees clockwise.

5. Reinstall the pawl into the access hole with the
alignment tool.

The key is now attached to the key lock mecha­nism.

Figure C-1: Removing the Fan Bracket from the Carrier

The Ultra320 DE100 drive carrier contains one (1) front-mounted drive carrier fan for en­hanced heat dissipation. Should the fan ever fail, the unit ID number indicator (located on the
front of the receiving frame) will display a flashing "F" and an audible alarm will sound. Refer
to section "Receiving Frame Front Panel" in the Introduction for further information.

In the case of failure, the fan is easily field-replaceable as outlined in the steps below.

Appendix C - Field-Replacing the Carrier Fan

NOTE: A #2 Phillips screwdriver will be required during this procedure.

While performing steps in this section, work on a soft surface to prevent excessive
shock to the drive and carrier.
