Addonics Technologies DCMR256SC, DCMR256I manual Powering On the Mobile Rack Power Switch

Step 4

Turn the Diamond enclosure over with the hard drive mounting holes facing up. Use the included flat head screws to secure the hard drive onto the bottom of the enclosure and turn in the screw to the “LOCK” position.

Powering On the Mobile Rack:

Note: Be sure the Diamond cipher key is inserted into the drive enclosure prior to turning on the power of the drive cradle. The hard drive will not be detected by the computer if the power to the drive cradle is turned on without the Cipher key. Under such condition, the power on the drive cradle will have to be turned off and turned back on again with the Cipher key already inserted into the drive enclosure in order to detect the hard drive.

Power Switch:

To power on the enclosure, use the key provided to turn the locking mechanism on the drive cradle into the Lock position. When the switch is turned on, the green LED located on the left side of the drive cradle would light up to indicate power. The encryption key LED will also light up. The amber LED will blink if there is drive activity.

Note: Brand new hard drive must be partitioned and formatted first before a drive letter is assigned by the OS. When a hard drive with data on it is formatted with the Diamond cipher all the data will be erased.

Once the drive is detected by the system OS, the Diamond cipher key may be removed from the drive enclosure. The encryption key LED will turn off but the Diamond Cipher hard drive will continue operating normally (encrypting) till it is removed from the system or powered off.

Cable Connections

Model: DCMR256I

Power: Using the 4-pin floppy connector of the Y-cable, connect it to the floppy- type power connector on the converter. To provide power for the y-cable, connect it to one of your desktop's 4-pin molex cable.

Data: Connect the IDE ribbon cable to the 40-pin IDE connector of the SATA to IDE converter board and to the IDE channel of your motherboard.

LED cable: No need to connect. By factory default, LED signal would come from the hard drive.

Powering On Drive Cradle:

To power on the drive cradle, slide in the Diamond cartridge and using the key (supplied), turn the cradle lock located at the front of the cradle to the LOCK position. This will provide power as indicated by the green LED lighting up and secure the cartridge.
