Datasheet
To install the internal RDX drive, complete the following steps:
1. Unpack the drive.
2. Turn off the server.
3. Open the server cover, using a screwdriver if necessary.
4. Mount the drive. Slide the drive into an unused drive bay until the bezel is
flush with the front of the server. Secure the drive, using the mounting screws
provided.
5. Connect the power cable to the power connector.
6. Find the USB cable with a connector that matches the USB connector on your
server system board.
7. Connect the USB cable to the USB connector on the drive.
8. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB connector on the system
board.
9. Check all cables in your server. Make sure that they are routed so that they
will not become crimped, and make sure that no cables have become loose
during the installation.
10. Install the server cover and turn on the server.
11. Run the applicable RDX utility software for the operating system on your
server. See the software documentation that comes with the drive for more
information.
Note:
If you install a new operating system on a server with an RDX drive
attached, make sure that the cartridge is removed. This prevents the
operating system from mistaking the RDX cartridge for the server hard
disk drive.
