4 Introduction

The Receiving Frame Front Panel

• The Key Lock/Drive Power Switch performs three functions. The key lock
assures proper seating of the drive carrier within the receiving frame, it turns power
to the drive carrier "On" and "Off", and it prevents unauthorized removal or
installation of the carrier. For the computer to access data on the Data Express
disk drive, the key must be turned counter-clockwise to the locked position.

The key may also be permanently attached to the locking mechanism as shown in
Appendix C.

• The Unit Number Indicator (Figure 4) displays the physical address of the Data
Express drive carrier when the carrier is

or Removed

frame

Installed but Not

selected by means of the unit select switch inside the receiving frame using a
special alignment tool supplied with the Data Express. This procedure is explained
later during the installation process.

• The Activity Indicator is a small dot next to the unit number which illuminates to
show when the host computer is accessing the data on the Data Express carrier.
This dot will flash during communication with the host computer.

• Device Spin Down/Up Timer may be disabled by removing Jumper J6 P1-P2
(Figure 5). The timer controls the length of time that the unit number display
flashes during device spin down/up, providing a visual indication of drive activity.
