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 dis-

charge (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 pro-

ceeding with the installation.

This procedure may require use of a bootable System

Diskette containing FDISK.COM and FORMAT.COM.

Setting the address

1. Each drive on the SCSI bus must have a unique

address.  Sixty-eight and eighty-pin (Wide SCSI)

devices have 16 possible addresses.

2.  SCSI address bits 3 (68- & 80-pin models only), 2,

1, and 0 of the 32-pin Option Jumper Block are used

to select the SCSI device ID.
