6.Mount the drive in the host system and connect cabling.

a.Mount the drive to the host system’s chassis using four 6-32 UNC screws. Two mounting holes are in each side of the drive and there are four mounting holes in the bottom of the drive. Do not over-tighten or force the screw if it does not seem to screw in easily. The dimen- sions of the drive are provided in Figure 10.

b.Connect the SCSI cable into the drive’s SCSI connector as illustrated in Figure 8 on page 26. Take care not to stretch or crimp this cable, and do not block the sys- tem’s air flow with the cable. Figure 9 on page 27 shows an example of how to connect multiple drives on the same bus.

c.Connect the DC power cable to the drive as illustrated in Figure 8.

d.Replace the host system’s cover.

• Do not touch the connector pins or any compo- nents on the circuit board.

•Observe static-discharge precautions.

•Always handle the drive by the frame only.

•The drive may be mounted in any orientation; however, you must ensure that the drive receives adequate air flow for cooling.

7.Format the drive.

Follow the instructions on page 37 to format the drive.
