Dell-Installed PowerVault RD1000 Internal Drive

Dell performs the installation of a RD1000 Internal drive that is shipped as part of a system. If you are

running Windows®you will need to install the software included on the RD1000 User's Guide and

Utilities DVD, which includes essential Windows software for use with the RD1000 unit. In this case,

installation instructions are provided below in the "Installing Unit Software for Windows" section. If

you are using the Linux operating system see the appendix "Using the Linux Operating System".

Store the software DVD/diskette that came with your system in a safe place in case you ever need to

reinstall the software. If the software is misplaced it can be downloaded from www.Dell.com/support.

User-Installed PowerVault RD1000 Internal Drive

(Customer Kit)

This section describes how a user can install the PowerVault RD1000 Internal drive, in case it did not

come pre-installed by Dell.

Before You Begin

The RD1000 unit ships ready to install in a standard 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch half-high drive bay

depending on the configuration you order.

Depending on your computer you may need a standard (flat-blade) or Philips screwdriver to remove

the computer cover and install the drive in your computer.

Important Information on Electro-Static Damage

To protect your computer and drive from electro-static damage (ESD), follow these guidelines:

Before you open your computer or remove the RD1000 unit from its antistatic bag, ground

yourself by touching the metal chassis of your computer or some other grounded object. For

optimal protection, use an electrostatic grounding strap.

NOTE: Your computer must be plugged into a grounded electrical outlet to be properly

grounded.

Do not touch any printed circuit boards or electronic chips on your RD1000 device or in your

computer.

Turn your computer and any peripheral devices off before installing the RD1000 unit.

Installation Instructions

1. Carefully unpack the unit and accessories.

2. Turn off the computer.

3. Open the computer cover, using a screwdriver if necessary.

4. Mount the unit. Slide the RD1000 unit into an unused drive bay until the bezel is flush with the

front of the computer. Secure the unit using mounting screws, being careful not to over-

tighten the screws (see Figure 1 below).

5. Attach the power cable to the power connector (see Figure 1 below).

6. Connect the SATA data cable to the SATA data connector (see Figure 1 below).

7. Check all cables in your computer system. Before you reinstall your computer cover ensure

that all cables are correctly routed so that they will not bind or become crimped. Also, make

sure that no cables have loosened during the installation.

8. Replace your computer cover.

9. Turn on the computer.

10. During power-up press F2 key, or other hot key, to enter BIOS set up mode. Enable the SATA

port connected to your RD1000 unit. Save changes and exit from BIOS.

11. If running Windows install the RD1000 software (see "Installing Unit Software for Windows").

12. If you are using the Linux operating system see the appendix "Using the Linux Operating

System".

NOTE: If you choose to install a new operating system on your computer with an RD1000 unit

attached, make sure the cartridge is removed. This prevents the operating system from confusing

the removable drive with the system drive.
