Hard Disk Drives

This section describes how to install a hard drive in your computer and how to remove it from your computer. The first section details how to install a hard disk drive. The second section details how to remove a hard disk drive. The final section explains how to configure your hard disk after it is installed.

Your computer can have two internal hard disk drives. These internal hard disk drives are devices on the Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus. The hard disk drive that came with your computer was set to SCSI ID 6 on the Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus. If you are adding a second internal hard disk drive, the second hard disk drive will use SCSI ID 5 on the Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus. Note that the two slots for the hard disk drives have SCSI ID numbers 5 and 6 preassigned to them and SCSI ID 6 is the system disk. You will not be able to change these SCSI ID numbers.

Hard disk drives are susceptible to mechanical and electronic shock. When handling the drive, always wear the static-grounding wrist strap that came in the floppy disk drive kit. Always handle the drive carefully.
