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.
