Completing the Power and Interface Connections

Installing External Drives

Product Manual
The power and interface connectors for the internal models are located at the back
of the drive unit.
Figure 10 illustrates these connections for the 3.5-inch internal drive. Figure 11
illustrates these connections for the 5.25-inch internal drive with rails.
Note. Turn off all power before inserting connectors.
1. Connect the SCSI cable to the SCSI connector at the rear of the drive. Pin 1
on the SCSI connector is to your right as you look at the back of the drive.
(See Figures 10 and 11.) Your SCSI cable should be color-coded with Pin 1
highlighted by a color strip.
2. Make sure you connect Pin 1 on the cable to Pin 1 on the drive. Failure to do
so may make the drive inoperative.
3. Connect a power cable from the host system to the power connector on the
drive.
The recommended power mating connector requires an AMP 1-48024-0 housing
with AMP 60617-1 pins or equivalent.
The compact external drive connects as a turnkey subsystem to the computer. The
drive is operational in either a vertical or horizontal orientation.
The following configuration is the standard default setup:
