Setting the Hard Disk Drive(s)

Your system comes with a hard disk auto-sensing feature that automatically detects the type of hard disk drive(s) installed in your computer. (See Appendix A for a list of hard disk drive types and their parameters.) The SETUP program allows you to view or change the parameters for your hard disk drive.

If you are using an older drive or a preformatted drive, it may not support the auto-sensing feature. If the SETUP program displays drive parameters that do not match your drive, you need to select a different drive type or define your own drive type or reformat the disk. See the instructions below on defining your own drive type.

Using the auto-sensing feature

To allow the computer to automatically detect your hard disk drive, follow these steps:

1.Move the cursor to Hard Disk 1 or 2 and press + or - until you see AUTO DETECT 1 or AUTO DETECT 2. Select AUTO DETECT 1 for your first hard disk drive and AUTO DETECT 2 for your second hard disk drive.

2.Press ESC to return to the SETUP menu and press F4 to save your settings. The computer restarts and automatically detects the hard disk drive. The next time you run SETUP, you’ll see the parameters detected by the auto-sensing feature.
