You should have: An ORB 2.2GB USB drive, power suppl , SCSI (HD50)
to USB adapter cable, ORB Installation Suite CD and ORB Quick Installation
Guide.
2. Assign a SCSI ID to your O B drive.
A SCSI ID is an integer, ranging from 0 to 7, each identifies a SCSI device
on the same SCSI chain. ID 7 is used b the SCSI to USB adapter cable.
You can find ORB drives ID switch on the bottom of the drive
as shown in Figure 4. The available IDs for the ORB Drive
are ID 0, 4, 5 and 6. The switch shown in Figure 4 is set to
ID 4. If ou are connecting this drive to a Mac or a Win 2000
(SP2+)/Win XP s stem, the drive has to be set to ID 0 onl .
Note: Remember to power c cle the drive after the SCSI ID
is changed.
3. Connect the HD50 end of the USB
smart cable adapter to the O B
drives SCSI IN connector (left
connector when facing the
rear of the drive).
4. Connect the O B drive power supply.
First, attach the round power connector from the power suppl to the ORB
drive (center, rear of the drive). Then, plug the power suppl into an AC
outlet.
P OBLEM! If the Power/Status LED is not glowing Green or
does not light, refer to Section 3, Troubleshooting.
Caution! Power should not be applied to the O B drive until
the SCSI to O B smart cable is attached to the drive.
Afterwards, the USB connector can be attached to/detached
