Chapter 2 - Installation Quick Start
6 To mount a half height drive in the combination horizontal chassis, the drive has to first
be attached to the half height disk drive mounting bracket. To mount the drive to the
bracket, place the drive in the bracket and secure it to the four side tabs or the four
bottom tabs on the bracket. Use the four mounting screws supplied with the drive.
7 To mount the bracket and half height drive to the horizontal chassis, slide the bracket into
the chassis and rest on the four tabs. Secure the bracket to the chassis using four
bracket mounting screws.
8 Slide the horizontal chassis partially into the MultiArray while guiding the bottom of the
chassis frame into the two plastic guides on the floor of the chassis area. Secure the
chassis to the slides with the two rear chassis mounting screws. Keep the chassis
extended as far out of the MultiArray as possible for ease of connecting cables to the
devices.
9 Connect one end of the 9” ribbon (data) cable supplied with the MultiArray to the data
connector on the device ensuring that pin 1 of the cable mates with pin 1 of the device.
See Figure 2-14.
Caution: Disk drives with IDE interfaces can be connected to the Mux connector. Drives with
other interfaces, such as SCSI interfaces, can not be connected to the SBC. Refer to the drive
publications for data cabling and possible interface board installation.
Note: Due to the length of the CD-ROM drive, it must stay in the bottom bay of the horizontal
drive chassis.

the Mux connector.
