HP 9153A/9154A Disk Drives
4. Set the Configuration Switch.
SKIP?
The configuration switch partitions the disk into multiple
volumes, making the disk act like several smaller disk drives.
The switch is preset for a single volume. If you want multiple
volumes on your disk, continue with this step. If you are
satisfied with one volume (as is usually the case with HP-UX),
skip to the next numbered step.
a. Find the HP-IB Module in the lower-left corner of the back of the disk
drive (Note: the HP-IB module contains the HP-IB connector).
b. Remove the two screws holding the module in place.
c. Remove the HP-IB module by pulling the flange at the bottom straight
out of the disk drive.
d. Refer to the manual that came with your disk drive for a list of
configuration switch settings.
e. Decide how you would like your hard disk partitioned and set the
configuration switch accordingly. Make this decision carefully, for you
cannot change this setting without re-initializing the disk. Some factors
to consider:
• If you will be storing primarily large files on your disk, partition your
disk into a few large volumes.
• If you will be storing primarily small files on your disk, partition the
disk into several small volumes.
• If you will store both large and small files on the disk, choose a good
median volume size.
• If storing more than one system on your disk (e.g., BASIC and the
Pascal Workstation), or if you want to create different volume types on
your disk, partition the disk according to the storage requirements of
each system or volume.
f. Replace the HP-IB module in your disk drive.
