Installing identification labels

Your expansion unit comes with one sheet of 10 labels (0-9) and one sheet of 4 labels (SCSI ID) labels.

Note: If you are installing the EXP300 expansion unit in a tower, refer to the information provided with the Rack-to-Tower Conversion Kit to set the option switches and install the SCSI ID labels.

Complete the following steps to install the SCSI identification labels:

To install the label:

1.Locate the SCSI ID label for your configuration.

Note: For a dual-bus configuration, the SCSI ID label includes an arrow with a 1 and a 2 pointing to each bus. Use the single-bus label if internal option switch 3 is set to Off. Use the dual-bus label if internal option switch 3 is set to On.

a.Orient the label so that the printed numbers are legible from left-to-right.

b.Peel the backing away from the adhesive side of the label.

c.Carefully butt the edge of the SCSI ID label up against the edge of the serial number label so that the 14 printed ID numbers are located beneath each of the drive bays.

d.Apply the label to the front of the unit, as shown in the following illustrations. Single-bus configuration
