Handling precautions

1. Do not cover the breather hole!  Covering the

breather hole may result in loss of data.

2. Do not press on the drive!  Do not apply any force

to the drive during handling or installation.

3. Always handle the drive with care to prevent

damage from shock, vibration, or electrostatic

discharge (ESD).

4. Do not open the static-protective bag containing the

drive until required.  Static electricity can damage the

drive.

5. Turn off and unplug your computer.  Remove the

cover.

6. When installing the drive, touch a grounded,

unpainted metal surface with the static-protective

package containing the drive for at least two seconds.

(This drains static electricity from the package and

from your body.)

7. Handle the drive carefully by the edges.  Do not

touch any exposed printed circuit board.  

8. Save the drive packaging material including the

ESD bag in the event that the drive must be returned.

Place the drive in an anti-static bag before placing it in

the shipping container.  The warranty will be void if

the drive is not returned in IBM approved packaging.

Quick installation procedure

Note: It is advisable to backup all data before

proceeding with the installation.

If your system BIOS cannot handle large capacity

drives  (due to inadequate address locations, most

systems are limited to accessing drives with a

capacity of 8.4GB or less), you may need to use a

disk overlay program such as Ontrack’s Disk

Manager.  The following procedure uses the Ontrack

Disk Manager software.  Information on obtaining a

copy of Ontrack’s Disk Manager can be found on the

Web at www.ibm.com/harddrive.

Setting the jumpers

1.  Refer to your computer manual to determine if you

require the 15- or 16-head  logical architecture.  

2. In a one drive system, configure your new drive as

Master (Device 0).

3. In a two drive system, one drive must be desig-

nated as the Master, the other as the Slave (Device 1)

4. When installing the new drive as a Slave, check the

Master drive to determine if a jumper change is

required to indicate that a Slave drive is present.

5. Consult your manual to see if your computer

supports Cable Select before choosing this option.
