3.8SYSTEM STARTUP AND OPERATION

Once you have installed the DiamondMax 17 80-160GB AT hard disk drive, and adapter board (if required) in the host system, you are ready to partition and format the drive for operation. To set up the drive correctly, follow these steps:

1.Power on the system.

2.Run the SETUP program. This is generally on a Diagnostics or Utilities disk, or within the system’s BIOS. Some system BIOS have an auto-detecting feature making SETUP unnecessary.

3.Enter the appropriate parameters.

Note: The SETUP program allows you to enter the types of optional hardware in- stalled—such as the hard disk drive type, the floppy disk drive capacity, and the display adapter type. The system’s BIOS uses this information to initialize the system when the power is switched on. For instructions on how to use the SETUP program, refer to the system manual for your PC.

Note: During the AT system CMOS setup, you must enter the drive type for the DiamondMax 17 80-160GB AT hard disk drives. The drive supports the translation of its physical drive geometry parameters such as cylinders, heads, and sectors per track to a logical addressing mode. The drive can work with different BIOS drive-type tables of the various host systems.

Note: You can choose any drive type that does not exceed the capacity of the drive. Table 3-4 gives the logical parameters that provide the maximum capacity on the DiamondMax 17 80-160GB AT family of hard disk drives.
