8.Reconnect any system or peripheral cables removed earlier.

9.Turn ON power to the computer. If the installation has been successful, and all the cables have been properly attached, the system should boot normally. Although the computer may not recognize the SATA DE110 yet, the front panel display on the SATA DE110 receiving frame should illuminate.

10.The new drive may need to be formatted or initialized prior to use with the operating system and applications software. Refer to the drive and/or computer manufacturer's documentation for formatting information.

Selecting the Unit ID Number

1.Verify that power is turned ON to the SATA DE110 “universal” receiving frame by turning on your computer. A number will appear in the unit ID display window if the carrier is locked in place.

2.Unlock the SATA DE110 drive carrier and remove it from the receiving frame. A "u" will be displayed initially when the unit is unlocked but will return to a number when the carrier is removed from the receiving frame.

WARNING: Unlocking the carrier unit switches DC power OFF to the drive. Since disk drives require a short amount of time to spin down, allow about 15 seconds before pulling the carrier unit out of the receiving frame to avoid possible damage to the drive.

3.Use the alignment tool supplied with the SATA DE110 to select the ID number of the disk drive. Refer to Figure 9 for the location of the ID Select Switch inside the receiving frame.

NOTE: The unit ID number display is for ID display purposes only.

4.After you have selected an appropriate unit ID number, replace the SATA DE110 carrier in the receiving frame, and LOCK IT IN PLACE.

NOTE: The lock on the SATA DE110 carrier functions as a lock and a DC power switch for the carrier unit. The lock must be engaged in order to supply power to the carrier and installed drive.

5.Reboot the computer. The new disk is now ready for use, although it may have to be formatted or initialized prior to use with your operating system and applications software.
