Configuring A 5.25-Inch Peripheral; Installing A 5.25-Inch Peripheral - Silicon Graphics Origin200 Owner's Manual

Configuring a 5.25-Inch Peripheral
Peripherals obtained from Silicon Graphics are preconfigured. You can install them in the
5.25-inch drive bay with no additional configuration.
However, if you are installing third-party peripherals, or wish to change the
configuration of a Silicon Graphics-supplied drive, follow these guidelines:
• Set the SCSI ID between 1 and 7. Do not use SCSI ID 0, since that is reserved for the
controller.
• Set the drive (motor) start jumper to start on command from the controller. Do not
configure the drive to start as soon as power is applied, since this may draw too
much current when the system is first turned on.
• Set the drive termination jumper to "off" or remove the drive terminators.
• Configure the drive to supply termination power.
SCSI drives are typically formatted by the manufacturer, so no further formatting is
necessary. All Silicon Graphics-supplied SCSI drives are preformatted.

Installing a 5.25-Inch Peripheral

Follow these steps to install a 5.25-inch peripheral:
1. Remove the front door. See "Removing the Front Door" on page 116.
2. Remove the peripheral carrier, as shown in Figure 8-2.
Pull out the peripheral carrier handle. The handle flexes downward, allowing
access to two captive screws.
Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, undo the two captive screws that secure the
peripheral carrier to the Origin200 chassis.
Grasp the handle of the peripheral carrier and pull the carrier out of the
5.25-inch drive bay.
