IMPORTANT: If the expansion base has one IDE hard drive, set the drive
jumpers to the "single" drive position. If the drive does
not have a "single" position, set the jumpers to "master."
Do not set the jumpers to the "slave" position unless a
second IDE drive in the expansion base is set to "master."
Refer to the drive manufacturer's instructions for
information on how to set the jumpers and other important
installation instructions.
2. Install the hard drive (Section 9.15).
3. While the bottom cover is off the expansion base, set the configuration
switches on the vertical circuit board to reflect the number and kinds
of drives installed (drive configuration) and whether you want to
disable the C/D switch. Refer to Section C.2 for information on the
configuration switches and to Section C.3 for information on the C/D
switch.
4. Replace the bottom cover (Section 9.6) and turn the expansion base
right side up.
5. If configuration switch number 5 is enabled (the default), ensure that
the C/D drive selection switch is set to the D (default) position.
6. Turn the system off with the power switch, then on again to integrate
the selected configuration and C/D switch settings.
7. When using a Compaq LTE Lite, install the EXTDISK.SYS external device
driver to allow the computer to recognize the IDE hard drive in the
expansion base (Section C.4).
NOTE: The Compaq LTE Elite does not require the EXTDISK.SYS driver.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CAUTION <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Designating an incorrect drive when using the MS-DOS FDISK command or the
MS-DOS FORMAT command can cause a loss of all data on the computer hard
drive. To avoid a loss of data, verify that the C/D drive selection switch
is set to D when you turn on the computer so that the hard drive in the
computer is logical drive C, which FDISK refers to as Current Fixed Disk
Drive: 1.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
8. Using the MS-DOS FDISK command, partition the hard drive in the
expansion base, which FDISK refers to as Current Fixed Disk Drive: 2.
IMPORTANT: When partitioning an IDE drive that will be used as a
bootable drive, use the FDISK command to create a primary
MS-DOS partition on Current Fixed Disk Drive: 2 and make the
partition active.
9. Reboot the computer by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys to integrate
the new information.
