RAID Drive Rebuild
In the event that a hot-swap drive should fail, the HDIT-108R will still maintain
operation of the machine, but the machine is considered “critical”. The HDIT-108R
will still function at full capacity, however the damaged drive should be replaced as
quickly as possible. Go to Page 4 for detailed instructions on the replacement of a
new hot-swap hard drive for the HDIT-108R. Once the failed drive has been replaced,
the 2000I-DP will automatically recognize and initialize the replacement drive.
Top Access Removal Instructions
When servicing the 2000I-DP or the HDIT-108R, disconnect the unit from the
power source, and remove the power cord (See Pages 10 & 11). All 22 (See
Figure 20) screws need to be removed from the Top Access Panel to service the
unit.
Note: The two screws are located on the Front Panel of the 2000I-DP.
Failure to remove those will result in damaging the Top Access Panel.
The 2000I-DP or the HDIT-108R should never be serviced without contacting
TAG’s Tactical Technical Support Team first.

HDIT-108R Features
The data storage for the system comes from the fail-safe 54GB HDIT-108R,
(See Figure 2). The HDIT-108R is powered by a 300W auto-switching power
supply. Four hot-swap 18GB Ultra-Wide SCSI hard drives methodically stripe the
data. Should a hard drive fail within the HDIT-108R, the RAID controller will
seamlessly activate the “warm spare” drive. The defective hard drive should be
replaced as quickly as possible. Refer to page 4 for hot-swap hard drive replacement.
2000I-DP Features
The heart of the system is the 2000I-DP. Dual 850MHz Pentium III processors
and 512MB of RAM makes this low-profile server a powerful one. It is equipped
with a DAT backup device, a ZIP Drive, LS-120 Drive, Floppy Drive, CD-ROM, and a
PC Card Reader. All devices are easily accessable from the front panel.
Connecting HDIT-108R to the 2000I-DP
The 2000I-DP is connected to the HDIT-108R by the external SCSI connec-
tor, (See Figure 19). The server connects to the left SCSI RAID connector. When
connecting the components of the system, make sure the connectors are well
seated in the port.
HDIT-108R
Rear Panel
The HDIT-108R connects to the 2000I-DP with the connectors located in the
center of the rear panel, (See Figure 17). When connecting the HDIT-108R to the
2000I-DP, make sure the connectors are well seated in the port.

Front Panel - PC Card (PCMCIA) Reader
The 2000I-DP is equipped with a Fortezza compliant PC Card reader located on
the front panel. TAG has configured the reader with SCSI #3. Refer to page 10 for all
SCSI IDs. The reader contains two slots which is designed to accept Type I, Type II,
and Type III card types. The upper card slot accepts only Type I and Type II cards. If a
Type III card is placed in the lower card slot of either PC Card reader, the upper slot is
not available.
The PC Card reader is equipped with four LED indicators and two card eject
buttons, (See Figure 7). The upper card eject button is on the left side of the slots
and the lower card eject button is on the right side of the slots.
The green LED on the left side of the unit indicates power is being supplied to that
unit. The red LED, positioned below the power indicator, will illuminate for one of
the following three reasons:
• No card is inserted. When a card is inserted correctly, the red LED turnsoff.
• A slot is accessed in which no card is inserted. The red LED remains lit until the
card in the other slot is accessed.
• A card is inserted, but it cannot be accessed by the PC Card reader. This error can
have various causes; for example, the unit is attempting to write data to a write-
protected, a read-only, or an unknown I/O card or a hardware error exists on the
card.
The amber LEDs, on the right side of the PC Card reader, are the access indicators
for the upper and lower slots. The LED will illuminate when there is data activity on
the PC Card bus.
2000I-DP Rear Panel
The connectors for all of the external peripherals are located on the left side
of the rear panel of the 2000I-DP, (See Figures 14 & 15). When connecting
peripherals, make sure the connectors are well seated in the port.
The main system power switch is located below the power supply on the
right side (See Figures 14 & 16). Refer to page 7 for more information regarding
the power supply. When mounting both the 2000I-DP and the HDIT-108R into a
rack, please make sure all connections are secured in their appropriate ports
before sliding the unit into the rack.

Floppy Drive
The 2000I-DP is equipped with a standard 1.44MB Floppy Drive. Like the
SuperDisk, it uses standard 3.5” Floppy Disk media. To eject the floppy disk, press
the floppy eject button located on the right side of the drive. Do not eject the
media if the floppy drive activity light, located on the left side of the drive, is lit.
HDIT-108R
Front Panel - Hot-Swap RAID Hard Drives
The HDIT-108R is equipped with four hot-swap 18GB Ultra 2 Wide SCSI LVD
hard drives, (See Figures 10 & 11). TAG has configured the removable drives with
the following SCSI ID’s: The bottom left drive, Drive 1, is SCSI ID #0 and the top
left drive, Drive 2, is SCSI ID # 1 the bottom right drive, Drive 3, is SCSI ID #2 and
the top right drive, Drive 4, is SCSI ID # 3. Refer to page 10 for all SCSI IDs. In the
event that one drive should fail, simply remove it and replace it with a working
drive.
To remove either drive, insert the hard drive module key and turn the keylock to
the unlocked position. Grab the handle and slide the drive out. Insert the replace-
ment drive into the 2000I-DP and return the keylock to the locked position.
