Installation

6.Secure the drive using the mounting screws. The threaded mounting brackets are designed for M3.0 metric screws. If you are mounting the drive in a 3.5-inch bay, use the screw supplied with the drive. Do not substitute other screws. Using longer screws may damage the drive. If slide rails are needed, use the plastic slide rails (supplied with the drive in some configurations).

7.Connect an available power cable to the power connector on the drive. Figure 3-1 shows the location of the power connector. The recommended power mating connector requires an AMP 1-48024-0 housing with AMP 60617-1 pins or equivalent.

Note: Turn off all power before inserting connectors.

8.Connect the interface cable with the connector on the rear of the unit. When you make the connection, be sure pin 1 of the connector aligns with pin 1 on the cable connector. See Figure 3-1 for the location of the connector and the Pin 1 location.

Note: Pin 1 on the connector on the rear of the drive is to your right as you look at the back of the drive (right side up). (See Figure 3-1.) Your cable should have Pin 1 highlighted by a color or dark strip. Be sure to mate Pin 1 on the cable to Pin 1 on the drive. Failure to do so could make the drive inoperative. Also, the cable is keyed to prevent incorrect installation. Make sure that the blocked pin in the cable connector coincides with the missing pin on the connector on the rear of the drive. (See Figure 3-1.)

9.Replace the computer cover. Be sure to reconnect any peripherals that you disconnected during the installation.

10.Plug the computer and any peripherals into an AC power outlet.

11.Start the computer and install your tape backup software.

Figures 3-4 and 3-5, respectively, show the location of the mounting holes for the internal drive without and with mounting brackets.
