Re: Model 200 - One More Time

Carl is correct. Making a mistake that duplicates SCSI addresses will cause both drives to fail. Making a mistake that leaves no Load Source disk is also very bad. You will want to know which side they came from though because on the left only mirrored protection is available while on the right RAID is supported.

I'm not so sure that is true. With the model 200 and model 400, the address
of the drive is determine by a jumper or two on the actual drive itself.
The jumper pinouts are on the side of the metal on the inside of the cover.
I think as long as the drive is on the same bus, it doesn't matter where in
the chain it is.

Once you get the drives out, remember to tag each one as to which bay they
came from...

Hammer? Crowbar? BFH? Next thing they'll say "Heat Wrench!" (Acetylene
Torch for the unknowing). Neanderthals!

Opening it up isn't hard. First git yerself a 7MM socket and chuck it up
in yer drill/driver and lock the driver into reverse. Then pull the
front cover straight off. Around back loosen the screw at the top
center. Slide it back and lift it up. Then remove the two screws at the
top of each plastic side cover and they will fall off. From here on it's
a simple matter of removing every freekin screw you can find. The sides
will fall off once the screws are off. Up to four drives will be on the
left and up to eight on the right. In each case you'll need to pull off
the power and data cables then the drives will simply pull out (though
they are fairly stiff.)

Good Luck!

The box is toast, but I'll try one more thing. Does anyone know how I can open it up to get at the drive(s), power supply, etc.

Thanks,
