switch to “PROTECT” can prevent writing and
deleting of data.
Note: The write-protect switch is not effective
when the P2 card is inserted in the P2 drive.
Make sure you remove the P2 card from the P2
drive, set the switch, then re-insert the card, in
order to effect the switch setting.
Installation
There are two ways to connect the P2 drive to a personal computer (Windows/Apple Macintosh) :
1. Using the P2 drive as an external drive connected to a personal computer (Windows/Apple
Macintosh)
2. Mounting the P2 drive in a 5-type bay of a desktop personal computer (Windows)

Installation (continue)
To Connect the P2 drive to a Personal Computer for External Use
1After switching the personal computer off,
remove the power cable from the personal
computer.
2After checking that the personal computer
is off, remove the cover from the personal
computer.
3Insert the PCI Express board included with
the P2 drive into the PCI Express
connector inside the personal computer.
<Notes>
zInstall the PCI Express board with the
PCI Express connector. Installing with
an ordinary PCI connector may cause
damage to the personal computer.
zSince the included PCI Express board
uses a full height bracket, it cannot be
installed in a low-profile slot.
zRefer to page 12 if you are using Mac
Pro (1st Generation).
4Tighten the screws etc to attach the PCI
Express board to the personal computer.
5Attach the rubber feet to the dimples on
the base of the P2 drive.
6Connect the included PCI Express cable
to the PCI Express connector of the P2
drive, and then connect the other end to
the PCIe interface connector of the PCI
Express board already attached to the
personal computer.
After connecting the cable, tighten the
screws on the connector to firmly attach
the connector.
<Notes>
zWhen connecting the cable, ensure that
both the P2 drive and the personal
computer are off.
zConnect after carefully checking the
configuration of the PCI Express cable.
Connecting the ends in reverse will
damage internal parts and cause
malfunction.
zUse the PCI Express cable included
with the P2 drive. The unit may not
operate properly if a commercially
available cable of 2 meters or longer is
used.

7Connect the AC adapter included with the
P2 drive to the unit’s DC IN 16V socket.
Start up the P2 drive.
Check that the green light on the unit’s
power indicator turns on and that the
status indicators for all card slots blink
about once per second.
For the AJ-PCD35EJ only:
Plug the power switch box supplied with
the P2 drive into the DC IN 16V socket on
the P2 drive, then plug the supplied AC
adapter into the power switch box. The P2
drive will start when you turn ON the
switch.
Confirm that the power indicator on the P2
drive lights green, and that the status
indicators for each slot blink for about one
second.
<Note>
Disconnect the AC mains plug from the
AC mains socket when not in use.
8Start up the personal computer.
9Verify that the personal computer
recognises the P2 drive.
<Notes>
zIn Windows XP or Windows Vista, some card
slots of the P2 drive may be assigned drive
names that have already been assigned to
existing networks. Reassign network drive
names if your personal computer does not
display all five card slots.
zSince the P2 drive does not support hot-
plugging, do not insert or remove the PCI
Express cable with the personal computer
power on.
zWhile the P2 drive and the personal computer
are connected, do not insert or remove the
unit’s AC adapter when the personal computer
is on. If the personal computer is on with the
unit off, before turning the unit on, turn the
personal computer off.

Pay attention to the items below if you are
using Mac Pro (1st Generation).
zInsert the PCI Express board supplied into
the slot 1 or 4 in MAC Pro (1st Generation)
(Slot number is for using the number of lanes
in a normal condition).
If you insert the board into the slot 2 or 3,
change the number of slot lanes to a4 or a8
before insertion by selecting “System” >
”Library” >“CoreServices” > ”Expansion
Slot Utility”.
zIf you use more than a8 lanes of RAID
interface card and this device in combination,
operation speed may be limited due to the
setting of the number of lanes.

Installation (continue)
To Mount the P2 drive in a Personal Computer 5-type Bay
1After switching the personal computer off,
remove the power cable from the personal
computer.
2After checking that the personal computer
is off, remove the cover from the personal
computer.
3Put the PCI Express cable included with
the P2 drive through the notch in the board
bracket about 20 cm from the cable
connector.
4Attach the PCI Express cable with the
cable stop on the top of the PCI Express
board base plate.
5After passing the PCI Express cable
through the slot attaching the PCI Express
board, insert the PCI Express board into
the PCI Express connector inside the
personal computer.
<Notes>
zInstall the PCI Express board with the
PCI Express connector. Installing with
an ordinary PCI connector may cause
damage to the personal computer.
zSince the included PCI Express board
uses a full height bracket, it cannot be
installed in a low-profile slot.
zIf you are unable to pass the PCI
Express cable through the slot on your
personal computer, the P2 drive cannot
be mounted in the 5-type bay. In this
case, use the P2 drive as an external
drive.
6Firmly attach the PCI Express board to the
personal computer with the screws etc
included with the personal computer. The
PCI Express cable will extend about 20 cm
from the connector to the exterior of the
personal computer.
7Connect the PCI Express cable to the
PCIe interface connector of the PCI
Express board. After connecting the cable,
tighten the screws on the connector to
firmly attach the connector. Bend the cable
so that it loosely arcs between the area
connected to the board and the notch. If
the cable is bent sharply, it may
disconnect.
8Undo the six screws and remove the
cover.

Installation (continue)
9Mount the P2 drive in a 5-type bay on the
personal computer. Use the screws (page
7) supplied with the P2 drive for mounting.
Please refer to your computer’s
instruction manual for guidance in
mounting to 5-type bay drives.
<Notes>
zThe P2 drive may not be able to be
fastened securely in some types of
personal computers.
zIf all 5-type bays are occupied, you will
need to remove one of the built-in drives
to make room for the P2 drive.
zThe P2 drive should be used in a
personal computer whose design allows
the front panel of the Drive to be
manipulated.
10 Connect the other end of the PCI Express
cable to the P2 drive PCIe interface
connector.
After connecting the cable, tighten the
screws on the connector to firmly attach
the connector.
11 Connect the P2 drive to the internal power
cable (4 pins) of the personal computer.
12 Start the personal computer and verify that
it recognises the P2 drive.
<Notes>
zUse the PCI Express cable included with the
P2 drive. The unit may not operate properly if
a commercially available cable of 2 meters or
longer is used.
zAttach the PCI Express cable so that it is not in
direct contact with the heat sink fan or fins
inside the personal computer.
zIn Windows XP or Windows Vista, some card
slots of the P2 drive may be assigned drive
names that have already been assigned to
existing networks. Reassign network drive
names if your personal computer does not
display all five card slots.
zSince the P2 drive does not support hot-
plugging, do not insert or remove the PCI
Express cable with the personal computer
power on.
zConnect after carefully checking the
configuration of the PCI Express cable.
Connecting the ends in reverse will damage
internal parts and cause malfunction.
zDepending on the personal computer used,
the P2 drive may not be recognized after the
personal computer is started. If this happens,
disconnect the 4-pin internal power cable, and
connect the AC adapter supplied with the P2
drive.
