Key  Lock/Drive  Power  Switch

  performs  three  (3)  functions.    The  key  lock

assures proper seating of the drive carrier within the receiving frame,  turns power

to the drive carrier on and off, and prevents unauthorized removal or installation of

the carrier.   For the computer to access data on the DE100i-A100 drive, the key must

be turned 

counterclockwise

 to the locked position.

•

Unit ID Number Display

 (Figure 4) shows the physical address of the DE100i-A100

drive  carrier  when  the  carrier  is 

Installed  and  Locked

  in  the  receiving  frame  or

Removed 

from the receiving frame.  If the drive carrier is 

Installed but Not Locked

,

a "u" will be displayed.  The unit ID number is selected by means of the unit ID select

switch located inside the receiving frame using a special alignment tool supplied with

the DE100i-A100.  This procedure is explained later during the installation process.

•

Activity Indicator 

is a small dot next to the Unit ID Number which flashes when the

host computer is accessing data on the DE100i-A100 carrier.  Refer to Figure 6 on

page 7 and section "

" on page 8 for further

information.

•

Device  Spin  Down/Up  Timer

  may  be  disabled  by  removing  Jumper  J6  P1-P2

(Figure 5).  This feature allows the receiving frame unit number display to provide

a visual indication of drive spin down/up activity.
