To Prepare Scsi Hard-Disk Drives; Adding Pc Cards - HP OmniBook 800 User Manual

The device's documentation describes how to check and change the
termination.
4. Turn off the OmniBook, then connect the CD-ROM drive or other SCSI
device to the OmniBook with an OmniBook-to-SCSI adapter cable.
Then, connect the peripheral devices to the OmniBook one after the
other—a "daisy-chain" connection.
Be certain to place the terminated device at the physical end of the
SCSI chain.
5. Plug each SCSI device into a proper electrical outlet. See the device's
documentation for details.
6. Turn on the SCSI device(s).
Windows automatically detects the new SCSI device and sets it up when
you turn the OmniBook on. If necessary, Windows requests information
about the device.
When the OmniBook's SCSI connector is attached to a SCSI device, the
OmniBook is considered "docked" and a docking configuration is in effect.
This includes turning the IR port off. You can inspect and edit this
configuration (called either "Dock 1" or "Dock 2") in System Properties,
Device Manager (Control Panel, System). Highlight Built-in Infrared Port on
Laptop, then click Properties. You can turn IR back on under Device Usage.
(Look up "hardware profiles" in Help for instructions on editing the docked
configuration.) Reboot after editing the hardware profile, and then the
configuration will remain as you have changed it every time you connect to
SCSI.

To prepare SCSI hard-disk drives

The SCSI drivers support hard disks with 512 bytes per sector. They also
support removable media with 1024 bytes per sector.
For information regarding formatting and preparing your SCSI hard-disk
drive, read the SCSIFMT.TXT file in the C:\SCSI directory on the
OmniBook.

Adding PC Cards

The OmniBook PC card slots are available for plug-in PC cards that store
data and expand the "communication" capabilities of the OmniBook. The
OmniBook supports two kinds of plug-in PC cards:
Data storage cards—cards that function as disks for storing data (and
therefore usually called "disks," rather than "cards"). The upper and
lower card slots support data storage cards—they're typically called
drives D and E.
Input/Output (I/O) cards—cards that typically provide external
connections, such as modems and network cards. The upper and lower
card slots support I/O cards.
