Using an LTE Elite Hard Drive That Has Secondary-Drive Capability
If an LTE Elite hard drive has the secondary-drive capability symbol, you
can insert it into one of the MultiBays, but you must still boot from the
LTE 5000 hard drive. Place the LTE Elite hard drive into a MultiBay hard
drive carrier (sold separately) before inserting it into a MultiBay. Use
the secondary-drive capable LTE Elite hard drive as you would any second
hard drive.
Using an LTE Elite Hard Drives That Does Not Have Secondary-Drive
Capability
Early model LTE Elite hard drives that do not have the secondary-drive
capability symbol must be used in the primary drive bay in the computer or
the expansion base.
Before beginning one of the procedures described below to insert the
drive, run Computer Setup and ensure that the hard drive boot sequence on
the Initialization menu is set to the factory default of:
1. Hard drive in the computer
2. Hard drive in the computer MultiBay
3. Hard drive in the expansion base MultiBay I
4. Hard drive in the expansion base MultiBay II
See Chapter 2 for more information about running Computer Setup.
Follow these steps to insert an LTE Elite hard drive that does not have
secondary-drive capability into the expansion base MultiBay I:
1. Save your work and shut down the computer.
2. Place the LTE Elite hard drive into the MultiBay hard drive carrier
(sold separately).
3. Insert the MultiBay hard drive carrier into the expansion base MultiBay
I (the MultiBay on the left side of the Expansion Base).
NOTE: If you have another hard drive in MultiBay II, that hard drive
must have secondary-drive capability.
4. Turn on the computer.
Use the LTE Elite hard drive as you would use any second hard drive.
If you do not have an expansion base, you can insert an LTE Elite hard
drive that does not have secondary-drive capability into the dedicated
hard drive bay. Use this procedure to transfer files only; it is not
recommended for everyday use.
