When asked if you are sure, respond with 'y' or 'Y'
DitJlI first asks you a series of questions about the disk you will be using. The answers to these
questions 'configure' ditJlI to work with that specific hardware. The first thing ditJg wants to
know is the type of disk controller to use:
specify controller:
o -
Interphase SMD-2180
1 -
Xylogics 440 (prom set 926)
2 - Xylogics 450
3 - Adaptec ACB 4000 - SCSI
which one?
2
In this example, we specified that the controller is type 2 for a Xylogics 450 SMD controller.
DitJg's next question is what address this controller occupies on the Multibus. When you give
ditJlI the address (see table below)2, it echoes the address back to you:
Specify controller address on the Multibus (in hex): ,elect the tJddre" from the table below
Device address: whtJtever tJddre" you ,elected
The table below shows the default addresses for disk controllers.

Xylogics 450/440
A ddre" (hez)
1st Controller 2nd Controller

ee48
Next, ditJlI wants to know the unit number of the disk:
Which unit! 0
"0" is the correct response for the first drive on the controller specified above. "1" is the unit
number for the second drive on a controller, and so on.
Now ditJlI wants to know the type of disk drive you are working with. DitJg displays a menu of
the different disks. When you have specified which disk drive you wish to operate on, diall
displays a table of the physical data about that disk, which includes the number of cylinders,
number of alternate cylinders, number of heads, and number of sectors per track. In this exam-
ple, we are formatting the Fujitsu M2312K (Sun "D84") 84-MByte disk:

Note that il you have one Xylogics SMD Controller and one Intel'phase Controller in your
sys-
tem, you cannot use the delault addresses (as the Interphase Controller sees only rour bytes). The
Interphase must be configured
to
be at address 48, and the Xylogics at ee40. See the
