Index
There are two ways to add options inside the system unit: add
the options yourself or have a Digital service representative add
them.
If you choose to add the options, note that system preparation
takes about 20 minutes, additions take about 10 to 15 minutes
per option, and system restoration takes about 10 minutes, on
the average.
The instructions in this guide assume you are prepared to open
the system unit, disconnect and connect internal cables, and use
antistatic precautions. You should be familiar with concepts such
as SCSI addresses, and the following diagnostic test displays:
– System power-up messages

more information on SCSI concepts, refer to Small Computer
System Interface: An Overview.
Improper addition of a drive or module could lead to damage and
failure of that drive or module, or to damage of the system. The
system warranty may not cover such a failure.
