Installation 1 DATA STACKER INSTALLATION Installing the Drive(s) into the Data Stacker While performing the steps in this section, work on a soft surface to prevent excessive shock to the drive(s) being installed. Also refer to the manufacturer's documentation provided with the drive(s). Phillips #1 and #2 screwdrivers will be required during this procedure.
2 Installation Drive Preparation 1. Remove the drive from its protective packaging. 2. Plastic Drive Bezel - If installing a hard drive which is equipped with a plastic front bezel, remove the drive bezel. 3. SCSI Drive Termination - Disable SCSI termination from the drive. Refer to the documentation provided by the drive manufacturer for the location of these terminators or jumpers. Termination is provided by an external terminator on the Data Stacker rear panel.

4 Installation 5. If installing a removable media device, replace the slot patterned drive bezel with the open front drive bezel as shown in Figure 4. The bezel can easily be removed by applying gentle pressure with the tip of a flat blade screwdriver. 6. Install the drive(s) into the drive mounting bracket. Side-mount 1-inch high drives (i.e. DAT drives) using four (4) M3 x 5 metric screws (Figure 5). Make certain that removable media devices align with the drive bezel.

6 Installation 7. SCSI ID Cable - One SCSI ID select cable is provided per each Data Stacker drive bay. The ID cable permits external unit ID selection via a small switch located behind a sliding door on the front panel of the Data Stacker. This cable provides 2mm connectors and attaches to the drive SCSI ID pins. It is secured to the sliding drive bracket with tiewraps. IF INSTALLING AN 8-BIT SCSI DEVICE: The SCSI ID cable contains single black, brown, red, and orange wires.
Installation 7 IF INSTALLING A 16-BIT SCSI DEVICE: The SCSI ID cable contains black, brown, red, and orange wires. Attach four (4) connectors from the SCSI ID select cable to the appropriate 2mm drive pins (Figure 8). The black wire plugs into the drive pin used to select ID0, the brown wire plugs into the drive pin for ID1, the red wire plugs into the drive pin for ID2, and the orange wire plugs into the drive pin to select ID3.
8 Installation 8. Locate the device activity connector on the drive and connect the black/green wires to these pins. Black is connected to the cathode output and green is connected to the anode output. 9. Locate the device fault connector on the drive and connect the black/yellow wires to these pins. Black is connected to the cathode output and yellow is connected to the anode output. Refer to the device manufacturer's documentation for the location of these pins. 10.
Installation 9 Connecting the Data Stacker to the Computer System If the DS60 is the last device in a SCSI daisy chain, it will require the appropriate termination (Figure 9). Figure 9: Typical Daisy Chain Connections DS60 Installation Instructions - Rev. C02 StorCase Technology, Inc.
10 Installation Selecting the SCSI ID Number and Fan Speed The SCSI ID is an address number (0 through 7 for 8-bit interface and 0 through 15 for 16-bit interface) that is assigned to each SCSI device. In a SCSI daisy-chain, each device in the chain must have a unique SCSI ID number. SCSI ID 7 is usually reserved for the host controller. If the computer system is already equipped with internal or external SCSI storage devices, some ID numbers will already be reserved.
Installation 11 Figure 11: SCSI ID Selection Switch Settings The Fan Speed Selector Switch (Figure 12) has two settings - High and Low speed. High speed (factory setting) is suitable for all drive capacities but is recommended for drives exceeding 4GB. Low speed may be used for removable media drives or drives with less than 4GB.
