Hard Disk Drives

This section explains how to remove and replace (install) a hard disk drive in the B2000 workstation. After replacing or installing a hard disk drive, be sure to follow the procedures in the section “Configuring a Hard Disk Drive as a File System” on page 33 to configure the hard disk drive.

The B2000 workstation can have a maximum of two 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 the workstation was set to SCSI ID 6 on the bus. If you are adding a second hard disk drive, the second hard disk drive will use SCSI ID 5. Note that the two slots for the hard disk drives have SCSI ID numbers 6 and 5 preassigned to them, and that SCSI ID 6 is the system disk. You will not be able to change these SCSI ID numbers.

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

Removing a Hard Disk Drive

CAUTION

To remove a hard disk drive, the workstation must be turned off.

 

 

NOTE

There are no cables to disconnect when removing a hard disk drive.

 

 

 

 

NOTE

If you are removing a hard disk drive that has a mounted file system on it,

 

you will need to unmount it. This should be done before you remove the hard

 

disk drive itself from the workstation.

 

To unmount a file system on a hard disk drive, follow the procedure in the

 

section “Removing a Hard Disk Drive as a File System” on page 35.

 

 

Perform the following steps to remove a hard disk drive:

1.Open the left side panel of the workstation as shown in the section “Opening the Left Side Panel.” As you face the open, left side of the workstation, the hard disk drives are on the right side. The lower hard disk drive (SCSI ID 5) is the one discussed in this section. See Figure 4-25.
