5.
Attach the power cord to the StorPoint CD/T. The power supply
connector is a standard PC 4 pin power supply connector (12 and
5 V DC). Hence, the power supply available in the CD-ROM tower
can also be used to supply the StorPoint CD/T.
6.
Connect the external network connector board to the
StorPoint CD/T using the ribbon cable. Mount the board on the
back of the CD-ROM tower. The mounting plate on the board fits
into the standard Centronics cut-out available on most towers.
Connecting CD-ROM Drives to the StorPoint CD
A single StorPoint CD can service up to 7 or 14 CD-ROM drives,
depending on model. You connect the drives using the appropriate
SCSI cables, which must be ordered separately.
The SCSI bus allows 7 CD-ROM drives to be connected to the
StorPoint CD. Each unit on the SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI
address. To work properly, the bus must be electrically terminated at
both ends.
Note: ❏
IDE and EIDE type CD-ROM drives cannot be used.
Before you begin
Standalone version only:
Make sure that the power supply (PS-C or PS-
E, 12 V DC) included in the delivery is marked with the correct mains
voltage.
Dual SCSI version only:
It is recommended that the Dual SCSI version
of StorPoint CD/T should be installed in a 14 bay tower, i.e. all the
CD-ROM drives are housed in the same enclosure with the SCSI
cables built-in.
