How To Install Your Hardware
Before you begin the actual installation of the WDXT- 140 or the
WDXT- 150 hardware and software, you need to prepare and install your
intelligent drives. Steps 1 and 2 below refer to these procedures.
Each intelligent drive in your system requires a separate
interface cable. The WDXT-140 and the WDXT-150 DO NOT
support hard disk drives attached to daisy chain cables.
Installing Drive(s)
1.
Turn your computer power switch OFF and unplug the power
cord. Then remove the computer cover. See manufacturer's
manual for details.
2.
Look in your intelligent drive manual and follow the steps to
configure and to install your intelligent drive(s). These steps may
include:
setting the drive number and terminator resistor
attaching the cable(s) to each drive
mounting the drive(s) into the computer case
attaching your drive to a power source
Changing Adapter Jumper(s)
There are no jumpers on the WDXT-140. If you have a WDXT-
140 board, you can skip this section and go directly to the next section,
Connecting Cables.
The WDXT- 150 adapter board contains jumpers which control
the BIOS address, the port address, and the interrupt request. Figure 1-1
shows the location of these jumpers. Change the BIOS and port address
jumpers or the interrupt request on the WDXT-150 adapter board, if
necessary.
See Appendix B for instructions on how to change jumper
settings.
