Omega Deck Split Front Panel, Hot Swap Hard Drive Version
SCA DRIVE INSTALLATION, REMOVAL, AND REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
NOTE:
The Omega Deck accepts from 9 GB, to 73 GB Seagate Cheetah drives with an SCA connector (80
pin). Be sure to specify Seagate's LC Series when adding or replacing drives. For example, an 18 Gig
model number would be ST318406LC. For any questions regarding recommended hard drives, please
contact support@ffv.com.
REMOVAL
1.) Open the front panel door by rotating the ¼ turn knob counter - clockwise on the lower left corner of the
door.
2.) Each tray has a hand actuated panel fastener on the right side of the front lip. To REMOVE, rotate knob-
screw counterclockwise until the fastening screw clears the hard disk cage anchor, grasp the disk tray by
the upturned flange on the lower left side and pull the tray straight out from the cage.
3.) Remove the two mounting screws (#6 x 32 x ¼" flat head) from the bottom of the drive tray. Hold the tray in
the palm of one hand and using the thumb and fingers of the opposite hand, lift the front edge upward and
remove the hard disk from the tray.
REPLACEMENT
1.) Hold the tray in the palm of one hand and using the thumb and fingers of the opposite hand, slip the rear of
the Hard Disk against the inside edge of the front lip and tilt the front end of the hard disk down toward the
tray until the alignment pins slip inside the threaded mounting holes on the drive.
2.) To re-insert drive/plate assembly into the cage, lay the front edge of the tray against the lip edge of the
selected slot, hold the tray parallel to the internal guides and gently push in until you feel that the
connectors have seated. Secure the drive in place by rotating the knob clockwise until it is fully locked.
(NOTE: The front door will not close completely if the knob-screw is not fully seated).
Close the front door and rotate the ¼ turn knob clockwise until it stops.
As with any new drive on any Omega Deck, formatting the drive will be necessary. Again, this is done by
clearing the disk from the disk menu on the touch screen.
