Hawk 4XL Installation Guide, Rev. A

1.Befestigen Sie das Laufwerk mit vier 6-32-UNC-Schrauben am Gehäuse des Host-Systems. Die beiden Seiten des Laufwerkes sind mit jeweils zwei Befestigungslöchern versehen, die Unterseite des Laufwerkes weist vier weitere Befestigungslöcher auf.

Gemessen von der Außenfläche des Gehäuses dürfen die Schrauben maximal 3,81 mm in die Befestigungslöcher des Gehüuses hineinragen. Die Schrauben müssen gleich- mäßig, jedoch nicht zu fest, angezogen werden. Wenn sich eine Schraube nicht ohne Widerstand einschrauben läßt, sind die Gewinde nicht korrekt aneinander ausgerichtet. In diesem Fall die Schraube nicht in das Gewindeloch forcieren, sondern die Schraube herausnehmen und erneut in das Gewindeloch einführen.

2.Verify that all connections between the drive and the host system are correctly installed.

2.Prüfen Sie, ob alle Verbindungen zwischen dem Laufwerk und dem Host-System korrekt hergestellt sind.

3.Verify that you have correctly installed jumpers.

3.Stellen Sie sicher, daß die Kennungsbrücken installiert sind.

4.Connect the SCSI cable into the drive’s SCSI connector. Take care not to stretch or crimp this cable, and do not block the system’s cooling air flow with the cable.

The drive receives DC power through a 4-pin connector mounted next to the SCSI connector. The output of a power supply must meet SELV (safety extra low voltage) as defined in IEC 950. Figure 5 provides the pin information for
