Before You Begin

Contents

This package should contain:

• Serial ATA backplane (1)
• 7-pin Serial ATA signal cables (1)
• User manual (1)

Installation

1. Remove one of the drive trays by pressing on the left side of the drive tray. This will cause the tray's arm to swing out. Hold the arm and pull the tray out.
2. Place the hard drive into the tray. Line up the holes in the bottom of the tray with the holes in the bottom of your drive. Use screws to secure the hard drive to the tray.
3. Slide the tray back into the slot. When the tray is all the way back into the slot, press the arm back in until you hear a "click" sound. This indicates that the tray and hard drive are properly installed.
4. Repeat these steps for the other hard drives.
5. If desired, install the backplane into open 5.25" drive bays on your system.
6. Use the 7-pin Serial ATA signal cables to connect the hard drive ("HD") ports on the back of the backplane to your Serial ATA controller.
7. To power the backplane, use either Serial ATA or LP4 connectors from your power supply. If you use LP4 connectors, the power will automatically be converted to Serial ATA power.

Using Your Backplane

• Reset: The Reset button/LED on the front of the backplane serves as both a reset switch and an overheating LED. When overheating occurs, a buzzer will sound and the Reset LED will flash. To stop the alarm, press the Reset button.
• HD1, HD2, etc: The HD buttons/LEDs on the front of the backplane serve as both the power switches and power LEDs for each drive. To turn power to the drive on or off, push the corresponding HD button (Do not turn off power when the drive is in use!). When the drive is powered, the corresponding LED will be lit.

Note: The default temperature at which the alarm will sound is 60^ C ( 140^ F). Using jumpers on the back of the backplane, you can also set the temperature to 55^ C ( 131^ F) or 65^ C ( 149^ F).

- Fan Sensor: The fan sensor LED on the front of the backplane indicates the activity of the backplane's fan. If the fan sensor LED is lit green, the fan is working properly. If the fan fails, the fan sensor LED will be lit red.
