1-2 Hardware Installation The Super Rack Docking Module is designed to install in any PC or Mac computer with an available 5.25-inch half-height drive bay. General instructions for installing the Super Rack are given since the design of computer cases varies. Refer to your computer’s manual whenever in doubt.
Power Connector Data Interface Cable Bottom Mounting Holes Side Mounting Holes Handle Removable Front Panel for Removable Media Drives Super Rack In-Tray Box VP-15 (with cover removed) Installing the Super Rack Out-Frame 1. Turn OFF the power to your computer and any other connected peripheral devices. Follow the precautions for static electricity discharge: • Discharge any static electricity build up in your body by touching a grounded metal surface such as the computer case, if plugged in.
7. Position the out-frame so its mounting holes align with the drive bay’s mounting holes. Secure with the supplied mounting screws (two on each side.) 8. Attach an existing IDE 40-pin data cable from the system motherboard (or IDE controller card) to the 40-pin connector on the back of the out-frame. Most connectors are keyed for proper insertion. If there is no key, orient the cable so the pin-1 colored stripe edge is closest to the power connector. 9.
Perform the following steps to enable the USB function of the Super Rack. 1. With the computer cover removed, ensure the power is OFF, and all power cords and cables from the back of the computer are unplugged. 2. Select an unused I/O expansion slot at the back of your computer and remove its slot cover. Save its screw for securing the USB slot bracket. 3. Install the USB slot bracket and secure with the previously removed screw. 4.
Mounting a Drive in the In-Tray Box (VP-15) Proceed with the following steps to install a 3.5-inch drive device in the in-tray box. (Note: a special adapter kit is required in order to install a 2.5-inch drive.) 1. Remove the in-tray box cover by sliding it towards the back of the unit. Slide Cover Off Remove the In-Tray Box Cover 2.
4. Connect the cables from the in-tray box to the appropriate pin connectors of the drive. The in-tray box’s 40-pin IDE cable supports 3.5-inch drives. Attach the power and IDE cables from the in-tray box to the drive. The power connector is ‘D’ shaped to correctly orient the connector. The colored stripe on the IDE cable should be closest to the power connector. To install a 2.5-inch drive, you must purchase a ‘44-pin to 40-pin’ connector adapter from your local computer dealer. 5.
1-3 Using the Super Rack Latch-Lock models VP-10LSFU/VP-410LS2FU, and Key/Power Lock models VP-10KPFU/VP-410LS2FU support hot-swapping. The power to your computer can be ON when the drive is inserted or removed. Use the Latch-Lock switch or Key/ Power Lock keyswitch to turn power to the drive ON after inserting it, and OFF before removing it. To insert the in-tray box: 1. Insert the in-tray box (with drive installed) into the installed Super Rack out-frame and push firmly until the drive is seated. 2.
