DATA EXPRESS INSTALLATION
Installing the Drive in the Carrier
Preparation
While performing the steps in this section, work on a soft surface to prevent excessive
shock to the drive being installed. Also refer to the manufacturer's documentation provided
with the drive.
NOTE:A #2 Phillips screwdriver will be required during this procedure.
1.Remove the drive from its protective packaging.
2.Plastic Drive Bezel: If the drive came equipped with a plastic front bezel, it
must be removed.
3.SCSI Drive Termination: Disable or remove the termination resistor packs
from the drive. Termination is handled by an external terminator in the Data
Express receiving frame. Refer to the documentation provided by the drive
manufacturer for the location of these terminators or jumpers.
4.SCSI Drive ID Select Jumpers: Locate the SCSI ID Select Jumper
positions on the disk drive, and remove any jumper plugs in this area. The
SCSI ID cable will be installed into this section of the drive.
5.SCSI ID Cable: The Data Express carrier is supplied with one (1), threewire cable. This cable is used for remote ID selection via jumpers located on
the rear of the DE90 receiving frame. One end of this cable has a single
connector with 1.25mm pin spacing. The other end contains three separate
2mm connectors. This cable can be used with drives that have either 2mm
or 1.25mm pin configurations by simply reversing the cable. The Data
Express signal distribution board contains connectors that except either end
of this cable.
The cables are made up of black, brown, and red wires. The black wire is
plugged into the pin used to select ID0, the brown wire plugs into the pin for
ID1, and the red wire plugs into the pin for ID2. Most drive manufacturers
mark these pins with some sort of identification which corresponds to ID0,
ID1, and ID2.
Disk drives use a row of pins to provide ground to the ID signals. This row of
pins is not used when installing the ID select cable to the carrier connector.
Refer to your drive manufacturer's documentation for more information.
DE90i-S, Rev. A00Kingston Technology Company
8Installation
NOTE:SCSI units are provided with a single row 3-pin wire wrap connector. This
connector allows fabrication of ID select cable connections for use in
confined areas or for drives which have nonstandard pin configurations. For
example, drives with side mounted ID select pins will require the use of the
wire wrap connector in place of the standard ID select cable. If required,
install the three wire wrap jumpers from the drive ID pins to the ID select
connector located inside the carrier on the signal distribution board. See
Figures 5 and 6 for the location of the ID select interface connector.
Installation
1.Attach the I/O interface cable from the rear distribution board of the Data
Express carrier to the disk drive (Figure 4).
2.Attach the four-pin disk power cable from the rear distribution board to the
disk drive (Figure 4).
3.Install the three-pin ID select cable into the rear signal distribution board
connector. Refer to Figure 5 for a typical 2mm drive pin connection or Figure
6 for a typical 1.25mm drive pin connection.
4.Carefully insert the drive into the carrier at an angle, cable-end first.
sure none of the cables are pinched. Lower the front of the drive carefully into
place. Fasten the drive into the carrier with four of the eight screws provided
as shown in Figure 4.
5.Snap the provided drive cover into place as shown in Figure 4.
