2. Insert the drive  
Slide the carrier or tray into the appropriate bay in your host system. This  
connects the drive directly to your system’s 40-pin Fibre Channel single  
connector attachment (FC-SCA). The FC-SCA connector is normally  
located on a Fibre Channel backpanel.

Handling precautions/Electrostatic discharge protection  
3. Connect LEDs (optional)  
• Disc drives are fragile. Do not drop or jar the drive and handle the drive  
only by the edges or frame.  
Note. This is an optional step. The drive will work fine without the LEDs  
connected to the drive.  
• Drive electronics are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Keep the  
drive in its antistatic container until you are ready to install it. Wear a wrist  
strap and cable connected to ground. Discharge static from all items near  
or that will contact the drive. Never use an ohmmeter on any circuit  
boards.  
The drive supplies pins that you can use to connect fault and active LEDs.  
This allows you to monitor drive fault conditions and activity. The actual LED  
is external to the drive.  
Turn off the power to the host system during installation.  
• Always use forced-air ventilation when operating the drive.  
• Use caution when troubleshooting a unit that has voltages present.  
• Do not disassemble the drive; doing so voids the warranty.  
• Return the entire drive for depot service if any part is defective.  
• Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit board or to the top of  
the drive.

[1] The drive has a 2.2K ohm resistor in series with this LED driver. Con-  
nect the minus side of an external high-efficiency LED (i.e., 2ma) to this  
pin. Connect the plus side of the LED to +5V.  
What you need  
[2] An external current-limiting resistor is required when connecting an  
LED to this pin. The minus side of the resistor/LED combination is con-  
nected to this pin. Connect the plus side to +5V.  
• Phillips screwdriver and four 6-32 UNC drive mounting screws.  
• Forced-air ventilation to provide adequate drive cooling. This is normally  
provided by one or more fans in the host system or enclosure.  
• Host system with Fibre Channel host adapter or backplane.

Installation instructions  
Fault LED Signal  
1. Mount the drive in the host system carrier or tray  
Most Fibre Channel host systems (including enclosures) provide a way to  
insert the drive using a carrier or tray which allows the drive to be hot-  
plugged into the system’s Fibre Channel 40-pin single connector attach-  
ment (FC-SCA).  
The drive activates the fault LED Out signal when:  
• the drive detects failure of both ports.  
• the drive detects an internal failure.  
• the drive receives the appropriate fault LED command from the host.  
Active LED signal  
Mount the drive to the carrier or tray provided by the host system using four  
6-32 UNC screws. Do not over-tighten or force the screws. You can mount  
the drive in any orientation. See Figure 1.  
The drive activates the active LED signal as indicated below.  
Normal command activity  
LED status

Note. FC drives are designed to be attached to the host system without I/O  
or power cables.

Note. Figure 1 above shows a generic carrier. Most carriers will look differ-  
ent than the one shown. Many are actually small enclosures rather  
than brackets as shown here.
