Prepare the drive

1.
Set SCSI ID
Following the instructions which came with your device, set its SCSI ID. Replacement
drives provided by Power will normally come with SCSI ID pre-set to 0 for the primary
hard drive, 1 for an optional second hard drive, and 3 for a CD-ROM drive or a
removable-cartridge drive.
Each device in a SCSI chain requires a unique number called a SCSI ID, which the
computer uses to identify the device. The computer itself is assigned SCSI ID 7 and the
primary internal hard disk is assigned SCSI ID 0. Every other device you install must
have a unique number from 1 to 6.
To determine what SCSI IDs have already been assigned to which devices, go to the
Hard Disk Toolkitª PE folder in the Utilities folder on your hard disk and run HDT
Primerª PE. HDT Primer will scan your SCSI bus and display the SCSI ID, name, and
other parameters of all of the SCSI devices on the bus (see example below).
Since your computer has two SCSI buses, one internal and the other external, make sure
to scan the internal one by selecting Bus 0: Apple [Internal] under HDT PrimerÕs
SCSI Bus menu. For details on HDT Primer, see ÒLaunching HDT Primer PE,Ó starting
on page 98.
2.
Install a 3.5 inch drive in a 3.5 to 5.25 inch adapter tray
Since the internal drive bays are designed to accommodate 5.25 inch drives, if you are
installing a 3.5 inch drive, you will need to mount it in a 3.5 to 5.25 inch adapter tray. 3.5
to 5.25 inch adapter trays are available at most computer parts stores.
