Electrostatic Discharge

Many components on your hard disk are susceptible to electrostatic

discharge. To prevent damage to these components, take careful

precautions before handling your hard disk.

Remove the Casing for your Tower/Enclosure

2. Referring to the owner's manual for your computer or enclosure,

remove the outer casing.

3. Referring to the owner's manual for your computer or enclosure,

your tray & frame in.

Install the Frame

1. Place the Frame into the 5.25" Bay with the backplane of the Frame

toward the rear of the bay. To determine which side of your frame is

the top, view the frame from the back (Figure 2) if the fan is on the

left side, you are holding the frame right side up.

2. Line up the four bracket holes in the frame with the corresponding

holesin your 5.25" bay. Using the screwswhich can be foundinside

of your tray (along with the keys to the tray lock), fasten the frame

into the bay.

3. With the frame securely fastened, slide the tray into

the frameto ensure thatthetrayfits snuglybutsmoothly

into the frame. Be sure that the tray is right side up by

viewing the front (handle side) of the tray. If the tray is

right side up, the lock will be visible on the right side of

the tray. As the tray is slid into the frame, apply even

pressure to both sides of the tray to ensure a proper

connection.

4. Removethe traybygentlylifting ontheFORCE-LESSSM

handleuntilthe tray is dislodged fromtheframe. Then,

gently pull on the tray with the handle until the tray is

completely removed from the frame assembly.

Make Wire Connections Between Frame and Enclosure

1. With the frame mounted in the enclosure, turn the

enclosure so that you have a clear view of the

backplane of the frame. Connect the 50 pin HDD

controller cable and the power cable.

Install Hard Drive into tray

NOTE: Please reference the documentation that came with your

hard drive for diagrams which show the SCSI pin location(s) on

yourdrive.

1. Open your DataTrans tray by pulling the side of the tray cover

awayfromthe railing and firmly liftingofthecover. Ifyou have

difficulty, try using a pen knife or watchmaker’s screw driver

toseparate the cover from the railing. NOTE: Youcan remove

either the top or bottom cover in this fashion, and the drive

can be mounted/accessed with either or both of the covers

removed.

2. Inside your tray you will find several sets of cabling, including

afour-pinpowerconnector,a 50pin HDD controller connector,

a set of 5 wires for SCSI ID, and a set of two wires for the

Drive Activity LED (See Figure Four).

3. Referencing the manual that came with your drive, plug the

SCSIIDcablesintothe back of the drive. Figure Five provides

a nomenclature color diagram for the SCSI ID cabling inside

thetray.

NOTE: Some drive manufacturers list the SCSI ID block

jumpers as 0,1 and 2 as opposed to 1,2, and 4. If this is the

casewithyourdrive, translate as follows 0=1 signal, 1=2 signal,

and 2=4 signal.

4. Ifyou desire, plugthe Drive Activity Cableinto the appropriate

connector on your drive.

5. Plugthe four-pinpowerconnector andthe50pinHDD controller

connector into the drive.

6. Mount the drive into the tray using the four screws provided.

7. Replace the cover by following the reverse procedure for

removing it in step 1.

Install Tray into Frame

1. Set the SCSI ID using the rotary switch located on the bottom

right of the frame (Figure 6). If you are planning on using an

external SCSI ID switch set the rotary to “0”. Do not confuse

the SCSI ID cables with the Drive Activity Cable, which is a

pairedcableon the same terminal which consists of oneBlack

wire and one Red wire (Red is signal, Black is ground).

2. Insert your tray into it’s frame as defined in step 3 of “Install

the Frame”.

3. Insert a key from the set provided into your tray lock, and turn

the key counter clockwise to lock the tray - the drive is now

ready to receive power, and should power up normally when

your system is on. NOTE: The unit will not power up until the

tray is locked into the frame.
