Installing Disk Drives

The ACP-7000 supports both IDE and SCSI storage devices. We introduce the IDE
disk drive installation procedure here. For installing a SCSI HDD, please refer to
Chapter 5 for detailed SCSI information and installation procedure.
The IDE disk drive housing supports one slim type optical disk drive, two 5.25" and
one 3.5" disk drive devices. Please follow these steps for installation.
1. Release two thumbscrews to draw out the backplane holder until there is
enough space to take out the disk drive housing (See Figure 2.6).
2. Undo the four screws of the cushions and lift up the IDE disk drive housing (See
Figure 2.9).
3. To install the slim type optical disk drive, just simply fix it to the housing with the
four screws provided. And plug the small convert board attached with the two
screws provided.
4. Insert other disk drives into the proper location in the disk drive housing and
secure them with the screws provided (See Figure 2.10).
5. Connect the suitable cables from the CPU card to the 3.5" HDD, FDD or the
optical disk drive. Then plug the 4-pin power connector into each disk drive.
6. Put the disk drive housing back in the correct position and fasten it with the
screws.
7. Return the backplane holder and fasten it with the two thumb screws.
