Tools You May Need

Preparing the Computer

Caution
You may need the following tools to complete the installation:


A medium-size Phillips screwdriver


A medium-size flat-bladed screwdriver (if your computer uses slotted
screws)


A Torx screwdriver (if your computer uses Torx screws)


Needle-nose pliers


A grounding mat or wrist strap (optional but recommended)
Before you begin the installation process, ensure that your computer is
equipped with a SCSI host adapter or on-board SCSI controller with its
associated driver installed according to the directions in its installation
guide.
You may want to have your computer manuals available for reference
during this procedure.
Static electricity can damage electronic components. Turn all equipment
off before removing the computer's cover. A grounding mat or wrist strap
provides the best protection against static. If you don't have either of
these, always touch the computer's chassis before and while touching any
internal boards or devices.
1 If there are other SCSI devices in your computer, you may want to check
their SCSI ID numbers and termination status before you switch off the
computer. See "Checking Your Current SCSI Configuration" on page 1-9
for more information.
2 Close down all applications, switch off the computer and any peripherals,
and unplug them from the power outlets.
