PDR200 9GB Disk Drive Upgrade Introduction This upgrade adds four internal 9GB hard disks to the PDR200 system. The manual assumes that you are adding four internal 9GB disk drives either to a 2-channel PDR200 (one with only a Master Enhanced Disk Recorder board) or as part of upgrading to a 4-channel PDR200 (one with both Master and Slave Enhanced Disk Recorder boards).
9GB Disk Drive Upgrade System Requirements The Profile System Software installed in the PDR 200 must be version 2.1 or higher. To check the software version installed in your PDR 200, use the as shown in Figure 1. The software version is listed in Help | About VdrPanel the Product Version field in the displayed dialog box.
Handling Precautions Handling Precautions CAUTION: Observe the following precautions when handling the 9GB disk drives. • Media disk drives are very sensitive to shock and vibration. To prevent damage, do not drop or bang a drive when handling. Do not stack drives upon each other.
Before You Begin Tektronix recommends that you remove the PDR200 from the rack and place it on a suitable work surface such as a table or workbench. The installation instructions assume that the PDR200 rests on a flat surface.

Removing the Top Covers 2. Loosen the front panel retaining screw and pull the chassis out of the rack until the slide stop latches engage. 3. Press the stop latch buttons (visible in the stop latch holes) to disengage the stop latches and with a helper, carefully slide the chassis free of the rack and place on a suitable work surface.
9GB Disk Drive Upgrade Removing Disk Drives The disk drives for drive IDs A3 and A4 must be removed from the drive tray to access the SCSI cable connectors on the SCSI backplane. Drive ID A3 is adjacent to the SCSI backplane connectors and A4 is adjacent to A3. CAUTION: Media disk drives are very sensitive to shock and vibration.

Installing the SCSI Cable Installing the SCSI Cable There are two possibilities for installing the SCSI cable: • You are installing the upgrade in a 2-channel PDR200. • You are installing the upgrade in a 4-channel PDR200. SCSI Cable Installation in a 2-channel PDR 200 In a 2-channel PDR200, the four drives you are installing are controlled by the second SCSI port on the Master EDR.
