52 MB Smartdrive (250-4124) Mounting Instructions Faxback Doc. # 3095 PREPARING THE COMPUTER Turn off the computer, and disconnect the power cord and the cables. Remove the computer cover as illustrated in your computer user's guide. NOTE: To install the SmartDrive in a computer with a Type C chassis or the 3000NL, you must install a SmartDrive interface adapter, 25-4121. Refer to the adapter installation guide for instructions on installing the adaptor INSTALLATION The procedure for installing the SmartDrive depends on the chassis type of the computer. Follow the appropriate procedure, referring to "Attaching the Cables" as needed. Then, follow the instructions in the "FDISK" section to complete the installation. INSTALLATION IN A TYPE A CHASSIS The Type A chassis has two 3 1/2" drive bays and one 5 1/4" drive bay. A drive is installed in one of the 3 1/2" bays at the factory. Install the SmartDrive in either the unused 3 1/2" drive bay or the 5 1/4" drive bay, by following the appropriate instructions in this section. TYPE A CHASSIS, 3 1/2" DRIVE BAY To install a drive in the 3 1/2" drive: 1. Slide the drive into the 3 1/2" drive bay in the carriage. With the drive resting on the center rail, align the appropriate mounting holes on the drive with the two mounting holes on the side of the carriage. Align the third mounting hole on the drive with the mounting hole on the center rail. Be sure the drive does not extend beyond the front of the carriage. 2. Secure the drive, using three of the machine screws included with the computer. TYPE A CHASSIS, 5 1/4" DRIVE BAY To install the drive in the 5 1/4" drive bay: 1. Be sure you have attached a bracket to each side of the drive as directed in the "Pre-installation" section. 2. Slide the drive into the 5 1/4" drive bay in the carriage. Align the appropriate mounting holes on the drive with the three mounting holes on the bottom of the carriage. Be sure the drive does not extend beyond the front of the carriage. 3. Secure the drive, using three machine screws. 4. Attach the SmartDrive data cable and power cable as described in "Attach- ing the Cables". INSTALLATION IN A TYPE B CHASSIS In a Type B chassis, the SmartDrive can be installed in either the 3 1/2" drive platform or the 5 1/4" drive bay. See the appropriate instructions in this section. TYPE B CHASSIS, 3 1/2" DRIVE PLATFORM To install the drive in the 3 1/2" drive platform: 1. Remove the two screws that attach the drive platform to the chassis. 2. Slide the drive platform back. Lift the platform to remove it from the chassis and the drive tower. 3. Attach the drive to the platform as shown, using the three machine screws provided with the computer. 4. Attach the drive platform to the drive tower by sliding the platform forward along the top of the drive tower until the tabs (not shown) on the bottom of the drive engage. 5. Install the two screws (previously removed) to secure the drive platform to the chassis. 6. Attach the SmartDrive data cable and power cable as described in "Attach- ing the Cables." TYPE B CHASSIS, 5 1/4" DRIVE BAY To install the drive in the 5 1/4" drive bay: 1. Be sure you have attached a bracket to each side of the drive as directed in the "Pre-installation" section. 2. Determine which 5 1/4" drive bay you should use: If the drive is the first hard disk drive in the system, install it in the lower 5 1/4" drive bay. If the drive is the second hard disk drive, install it in the upper 5 1/4" drive bay. 3. Remove the appropriate drive rails (upper or lower set) from the drive tower. 4. Attach the drive rails and metal grounding clips to the mounting bracket as illustrated, using the four machine screws provided with the computer. 5. Slide the drive into the 5 1/4" drive bay until the rails lock into place. NOTE: You can connect the SmartDrive to the cable either before or after sliding the drive into the drive bay. See "Attaching the Cables." INSTALLATION IN A TYPE C CHASSIS Install a SmartDrive interface adapter, 25-4121, if you have not already done so. Determine which 5 1/4" drive bay you should use: * If the drive is the first hard drive in the system, use the lower bay. * If the drive is the second hard drive in the system, use the upper bay. For easy installation in the lower drive bay, you can remove the drive tower. Removing the drive tower is not required for installation in the upper 5 1/4" drive bay. To remove the drive tower: 1. Disconnect any cables attached to internal drives. 2. Disconnect the battery from the Velcro strip on the side of the tower. 3. Remove the four screws that secure the tower to the bottom of the computer chassis and the three screws that secure the tower to the front of the chassis. The following diagram shows which screws you should remove. 4. Carefully lift the drive tower up and out of the system unit. TYPE C CHASSIS, LOWER 5 1/4" DRIVE BAY Follow these steps to install the drive in the lower 5 1/4" drive bay: 1. Be sure you have attached a bracket to each side of the drive as directed in the "Pre-installation" section. 2. Attach four shock isolators to the mounting brackets as shown. 3. Slide the hard drive into the lower 5 1/4" drive bay. If a device is installed in the upper 5 1/4" drive bay, be sure that the hard drive does not slide against it. Use the four machine screws provided with the computer to fasten the hard drive to the drive tower. NOTE: You can connect the SmartDrive to the cable either before or after sliding the drive into the drive bay. See "Attaching the Cables." 4. If you removed the drive tower, reinstall it now. Be sure that no cables are under the drive tower when you replace it. Re-attach the CMOS RAM battery to the Velcro strip on the side of the drive tower. TYPE C CHASSIS, UPPER 5 1/4" DRIVE BAY If you are installing the SmartDrive as the second hard disk drive in a Type C chassis, follow these steps to install the drive in the upper 5 1/4" drive bay: 1. Be sure you have attached a bracket to each side of the drive as directed in the "Pre-installation" section. 2. Install four grommets into the mounting holes in the upper 5 1/4" drive bay. 3. Slide the drive into the upper 5 1/4" drive bay, being sure that it does not slide against any other devices. Use four shoulder screws and grommets to fasten the hard drive to the drive tower. NOTE: You can connect the SmartDrive to the cable before sliding the drive into the drive bay. See "Attaching the Cables." 4. If you removed the drive tower, reinstall it now. Be sure that no cables are under the drive tower when you replace it. Re-attach the CMOS RAM battery to the Velcro strip on the side of the drive tower. ATTACHING THE CABLES 1. Align Pin 1 of the data cable with Pin 1 of the connector on the back of the SmartDrive. Pin 1 of the cable is indicated by a colored stripe. Pin 1 of the connector on the SmartDrive is shown in the diagram. Connect one end of the data cable to the SmartDrive. 2. If you have two SmartDrives installed, attach the inside drive connector to the second SmartDrive in the same manner. 3. Align Pin 1 of the other end of the data cable with Pin 1 of the Smart- Drive interface connector (If the SmartDrive connector is on the main logic board, refer to the computer user's guide to locate Pin 1 on the connector. If you installed a SmartDrive Interface Adapter, refer to the adapter instal- lation guide to locate Pin 1 on the connector.). Connect the data cable to the SmartDrive connector. 4. Locate the power supply in your computer. (Refer to your computer user's guide.) Attach an extra power cable from the power supply to the power to the power connector on the SmartDrive. The power cable is designed so that it fits only when Pin 1 of the cable and Pin 1 of the power connector are aligned. 5. Install any other internal options that you are adding at this time. Then, close the computer and re-attach the cables on the back of the computer as directed in the user's guide. Follow the instructions in the "FDISK" section to partition and format the drive.
