Product Overview
DSS-1 and DSS-2 Hardware Description

You must release the latch before you can pull the drive from the enclosure.
During operation, the illuminated activity LED indicates that the drive is in the
process of reading or writing data.
NOTE:
You will lose data if you power down or unplug the drive while the
activity LED is illuminated.
As shown in Figure 7, the drive has a DC power connector, a drive ID connector,
and a SCSI I/O connector on the rear panel. Cables within the disk drive canister
plug into these connectors and carry data, control, and power between the drive
and a 96-pin connector on the rear panel of the drive canister. This arrangement
enables automatic signal, power, and control connections during insertion and
removal of the drive (in its canister) from the front of the enclosure. The "Cabling
Guidelines" section, which begins on page 15, lists all connector pinouts.
