SPECIAL NOTES:
Ÿ
For this drive to operate in LVD mode all SCSI de-
vices including the SCSI bus host adapter must be
LVD devices.
Ÿ
The drive is designed to detect if the SCSI bus is
LVD or SE. The drive will function based upon the
mode that it detects. If for some reason the drive
cannot detect an SE mode bus, place a jumper on
pins 5 & 6 of jumper block J-4 to force SE mode.
Ÿ
On 68 pin drives termination power must be
provided. In most cases it is provided by the host
adapter. If it is not, install a jumper on pins 3 & 4 of
jumper block J-4 to enable termination power. See
the illustration above. (The 80-pin drive does not
provide termination power.)
9. For a 68-pin drive attach the power cable and
ensure that one end of the SCSI cable is con-
nected to the host adapter. Attach a terminator to
the end of the SCSI cable furthest from the host
adapter. If the drive is the only device on the SCSI
cable, attach it to the cable connector closest to the
terminator. Additional drives may be attached to
any unused connector. [The 80-pin drive is
plugged into server backplanes and requires no
cables.]
10. Using the appropriate brackets or rails, mount the
drive with any of its six surfaces facing down.
11. Retrieve any loose screws or parts from within the
computer.
12. Ensure that cables are properly routed.
13. Plug in your computer. Do not turn it on.
14. Insert the operating system (OS) setup diskette into
the floppy drive.
15. Turn on your computer.
Ÿ
If the system boots up, turn off your computer
and replace the cover.
Ÿ
If your system does not boot up, turn off your
computer and check all connections and set-
tings. Turn on and boot the system.
Ÿ
If the system still fails to boot up, turn off your
computer and remove the new drive to return
the system to its original configuration. Contact
the IBM Technology Group Support Center for
assistance.

Partitioning and formatting (using DOS 5.0 or later)
CAUTION: Partitioning and formatting will destroy any
previous data. When partitioning and formatting a drive
in a system with more than one drive be sure that you
select the correct hard drive.
1. With the OS setup diskette inserted in the floppy
drive, turn on the computer.
2. At the DOS prompt type FDISK, press ENTER, and
follow the instructions on the screen.
3. To format the primary system drive, type
FORMAT C:/S at the DOS command prompt and
press ENTER. The /S parameter makes C: the
operating system startup drive.
4. To format a second drive (not C:), type FORMAT X:
(where X is the drive letter assigned by FDISK) at
the DOS prompt and press ENTER.
5. Remove the diskette and restart your computer.
The partitioning and formatting is complete.
6. Install the operating system.
