3.0 Installation and Mounting

3.1

Preparing to Install the FlashDrive

Follow the procedure below to prepare for the
FlashDrive installation:
1. If replacing an existing hard disk drive,
make sure that all data on that drive has
been properly backed up.
2. Turn off the power to the host computer
system and unplug the power supply cord.
The host system's power must be off during
the entire installation procedure.
3. Using a grounding strap, make sure that
you are properly grounded. You must be
grounded during the entire installation
procedure and
FlashDrive.
4. Remove the host computer system's cover.
Caution: Be sure to check with the host
system's user's manual and the terms and
conditions of the system's warranty before
removing the cover. Removing the cover of
a laptop computer may be difficult and
could void the system's warranty.
5. If replacing the computer system's existing
hard drive, remove the hard drive.
If the FlashDrive is being installed as a single
drive, go to section 3.3 to finish the installation
process. If the FlashDrive is being installed in a
two drive configuration, follow the steps in section
3.2 below to set the jumpers and then go to section
3.3 to finish the installation.
3.2 Installing the FlashDrive in a Two
Drive Configuration
If the FlashDrive is being installed in a system
that has either a
FlashDrive already installed, a jumper may need
to be installed for the FlashDrive(s) to operate
properly.

3.2.1 Jumper Settings for 1.8- and 2.5-inch
FlashDrives
If the FlashDrive is being installed as the second,
or Slave drive, in a two drive configuration, pin B
or pin C must be grounded (see the Figures 3-1 and
3-2). Pins B and C are pulled-up input pins that
are shorted together internally (Pins A and D are
ground.) These pins are used to configure the
FlashDrive as a slave device. When either pin B
or pin C is grounded by the user, either using a
shunt jumper or through a ground on the host
motherboard if a 50 pin connector is used, the
FlashDrive is configured as a Slave device.
If both pins B and C remain open, the FlashDrive
is configured as a master in a master/slave
configuration or as the only drive in a single drive
system.
