IDE Hard Drive Installation Instructions (011-0663)
♦ Installing the IDE drive
1. The hard drive is intended to be installed into one of the two drive bays in the
RAID controller chassis. There is no difference between the bays and the
following steps apply to either bay.
2. Once the 2.5 inch IDE hard drives are installed into their drive trays, they become
a hot swappable RAID controller sub-assembly, meaning that no physical damage
to the drive or controller will result when drives are inserted or removed. This does
not mean that data will never be corrupted. If the drive is being accessed when it is
removed from the raid controller chassis, data corruption may result. Always
verify that the yellow access led is off before removing any hard drive from the
raid cage. This is especially important if you are removing a drive for backup
purposes. Shutting down the system and turning off power before removing the
hard drives is always the safest practice.
3. While observing static handling procedures, carefully remove the hard drive from
its packaging and verify that it is securely mounted in its drive tray. You may need
a small Phillips screwdriver. A new unformatted drive may safely be installed into
the raid chassis with power on since the raid controller will not access it until the
drive is ready.
4. Insert the new drive into the raid controller chassis. As soon as the controller
detects the new hardware, it will automatically begin to copy data onto it.
Transferring Files from Old SCSI Drive to RAID Drive (011-0664)
The next three subtopics describe how to transfer the operating system, paging application
software and voice prompts from the standard SCSI drive to the RAID drive.
♦ Assigning SCSI drive as drive D:
1. Set drive ID on old SCSI to ID #1.
2. Remove termination on old SCSI drive.
3. Power down system and install old SCSI drive above the raid drive using the top
holes of the drive brackets. Make sure the drive connectors are to the left.
4. Connect center SCSI cable connector to old SCSI drive with the stripped edge
toward the power connector.
5. Connect the 4-pin power pigtail from the chassis to the power connector on the old
SCSI drive.
6. Power up the M2200.
♦ Coping system files from SCSI drive (D:) to RAID array (C:)
1. Go to the office PC and start ZbaseW. Select COMM/ZlinkW. At the “+” prompt
type, “
LS<space>d:\zdir” and verify that it lists the system configuration files,
log files etc. If it simply returns you to the “+” prompt then the old drive was not
recognized, recheck drive ID, terminator and cabling.
