SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

DANGER: To avoid shock hazard:

Do not connect or disconnect the TranzStor 1Xi during an electrical storm. The power cord plug must be connected to a properly wired and grounded power outlet. Any equipment to which the TranzStor 1Xi will be attached must also be connected to properly wired and grounded power outlets.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

INTRODUCTION

Platform independent data storage — the TranzStor 1Xi is a single bay docking station that runs in any computer and hosts a removable TranzPak 7 data storage module.

A TranzStor 1Xi installs into any standard 5.25” peripheral slot in any computer or work-station: at home, office, lab or in the field, and provides a field-ready platform to store and transport maximum data from one computer to another.

Stay with the same media — with a TranzStor 1Xi you no longer have to transport large data files using multiple disks. When you stay with the same media, there is less risk of creating errors. The TranzStor 1Xi allows you to take the whole hard drive with you — that means you can transport, plug in and run your most intensive software applications any-where.

Imagine the flexibility and efficiency that a quick-swap, high-end, platform independent transportable data storage system can bring.

REQUIRED TOOLS

• None

NOTE: For the fastest and easiest installation of the TranzStor 1Xi, follow these steps in the sequence they are presented.

PREPARATIONSIn preparation to install the TranzStor 1Xi, take the following precautionary steps:

Do not connect or disconnect the unit dur-ing an electrical storm.

Any equipment to which the unit will be at-tached must also be connected to properly wired and grounded power outlets.

Ensure all of the following parts are in-cluded in the package received from Z Mi-crosystems. Verify all parts have not been damaged during shipment. If any of the parts are missing or damaged, immediately contact Z Microsystems Customer Service at 858-657-1000.

• The TranzStor 1Xi • User Manual • SCSI Terminator (SCSI option)• 4 mounting screws

Remember to save the unit’s original shipping materials. It may be necessary to move the unit at a later date.

INSTALLATION

The TP7 is tested and qualified for operating temperature limits as low as -32˚ Celsius (with heater). A -32˚ C maximum requires a 35 minute warm up. The TP7 is qualified for -20˚ C for continuous operation.

HEATER OPTION RESET CABLE

When a TP7 is configured with the heater option, the backplane will also have a reset cable on the bottom right corner. The following image calls out the location of the reset cable connector.

The reset cable connector is found in the same bottom right location in both IDE and SCSI configurations.

MASTER/SLAVE JUMPER SETTINGS (IDE)

Note: Some systems may require you to use the 15 head logical architecture. This is because they translate a drive greater than 4 GB by multiplying the head count by 16. The result (16 x 16 = 256) is interpreted as 0 heads with a 0 capacity and is an illegal head count. Selecting the 15 head logical jumpers produces a legal translation (16 x 15 = 240). The translated cylinder count varies to achieve the drive’s full capacity.

When connecting the TranzStor 1Xi SCSI version into a computer system, several things must be considered. The SCSI cable that connects the system SCSI Host Bus Adapter (HBA) to the TranzStor 1Xi backplane must be a 68 pin cable that is rated for the SCSI specification that is to be supported by the HBA and the TP7 stor-age module. Generally this is Ultra 2, Ultra 160, Ultra 320, etc. See the table below for a summary of the various versions of the SCSI specification. The cable must have a male 68 pin high density D connector which mates with the SCSI connector on the TranzStor 1Xi SCSI backplane. Once the cable has been selected, a terminator must be installed at the end of the cable. The end of the cable may be just after the connection to the TranzStor 1Xi or the cable may daisy chain to other SCSI de-

vices in the system, in which case the end of the bus will be after the last device on the daisy chain. See the diagram below for connection examples (Fig.1). The termina-tor also must be rated for the proper SCSI specification that the system is supporting. The TranzStor 1Xi backplane contains a 4 position switch, which sets the SCSI ID. The SCSI ID must be set so that it is unique relative to any other devices that are connected to the same SCSI bus in-cluding the HBA. It is common for the HBA to use SCSI ID 7, so this address should generally not be used for the TranzStor 1Xi. The diagram below (Fig.1) shows how to set the SCSI ID switch.

(1) The listed maximum bus lengths may be exceeded in Point-to-Point and engineered applications.

(2) Use of the word “Narrow”, preceding SCSI, Ultra SCSI, or Ultra2 SCSI is optional.

(3) LVD was not defined in the original SCSI standards for this speed. If all devices on the bus support LVD, then 12-meters operation is possible at this speed. However, if any de-vice on the bus is singled-ended only, then the entire bus switches to single-ended mode and the distances in the single-ended column apply.

(4) Single-ended is not defined for speeds beyond Ultra.

(5) HVD (Differential) is not defined for speeds beyond Ultra2.

(6) After Ultra2 all new speeds are wide only.

INSERTING THE TRANZPAK 7 INTO THE TRANZSTOR 1XI

Push the TranzPak 7 all the way into the docking bay until you feel it seating on the connector.

Push the handle in until you hear the locking catch snap into place. The TranzPak 7 is now firmly locked in operating position.

DANGER: To avoid shock hazard: • The power cord plug must be

connected to a properly wired and grounded power outlet.

• Any equipment to which the TranzStor 1Xi will be attached must also be connected to properly wired and grounded power outlets.

TRANZSOR 1XI STATUS LEDS

The 1Xi LED states are interpreted in the following manner:

Green LED: The green light indicates drive power.

• ON, solid light, no flashing: The drive is inserted and has power.• FLASHING, 20%: The drive is being heated.The drive will not start until the heat cycle completes. • FLASHING, 80%: The drive is in a reheat cycle. The drive continues to operate during a reheat cycle. • OFF: No power, or drive is removed.

Yellow LED: The yellow light represents drive activity.

• ON: IDE drives generally show a “busy” signal at startup, until the computer begins boot-ing.• FLICKERING: This is the controller’s “activity” signal.• OFF: No activity is detected.
