UltraTrak100 TX4 and UltraTrak100 TX8 User Manual

Before installing a new hard drive, be sure the jumpers on the new hard drives are set for single or master operation. Consult the drive manual for the proper settings.

Install new hard drives into the UltraTrak100 by doing the following:

1.Open the Front Panel Door on the UltraTrak100.

2.Unlock the Drive Carrier Latching Mechanism and remove an unused Drive Carrier (see Figure 1 on page 4) from the UltraTrak100. (Begin at the top and work down.)

3.Attach the Drive Carrier power cable to the hard drive (see Figure 7 on page 16).

4.Attach the Drive Carrier IDE data cable to the hard drive (see Figure 7 on page 16).

5.Lower the hard drive into the Drive Carrier so that the screw holes on the bottom line up.

6.Insert screws through the holes in the Drive Carrier and into the bottom of the hard drive. Tighten each screw; be careful not to over tighten (see Figure 6 on page 15).

7.Slide the assembled Drive Carrier back into the UltraTrak100 and lock the Drive Carrier lock.

8.Repeat steps 2 through 8 until all of the new hard drives are installed.
