Installation

Mount the P2 drive in a 5-type bay on the
personal computer. Use the screws (page
7) supplied with the P2 drive for mounting.
Please refer to your computer's
instruction manual for guidance in
mounting to 5-type bay drives.
Holes for securing the screws
(the other side is the same.)
<Notes>
The P2 drive may not be able to be
fastened securely in some types of
personal computers.
If all 5-type bays are occupied, you will
need to remove one of the built-in drives
to make room for the P2 drive.
The P2 drive should be used in a
personal computer whose design allows
the front panel of the Drive to be
manipulated.

Connect the other end of the PCI Express
cable to the P2 drive PCIe interface

After connecting the cable, tighten the

cable (4 pins) of the personal computer.

Start the personal computer and verify that
it recognises the P2 drive.
<Notes>
Use the PCI Express cable included with the
P2 drive. The unit may not operate properly if
a commercially available cable of 2 meters or
longer is used.
Attach the PCI Express cable so that it is not in
direct contact with the heat sink fan or fins
inside the personal computer.
In Windows XP, some card slots of the P2
drive may be assigned drive names that have
already been assigned to existing networks.
Reassign network drive names if your
personal computer does not display all five
card slots.
Since the P2 drive does not support hot-
plugging, do not insert or remove the PCI
Express cable with the personal computer
power on.
Connect after carefully checking the
configuration of the PCI Express cable.
Connecting the ends in reverse will damage
internal parts and cause malfunction.
Depending on the personal computer used,
the P2 drive may not be recognized after the
personal computer is started. If this happens,
disconnect the 4-pin internal power cable, and
connect the AC adapter supplied with the P2
drive.
