Before Installing a SCSI Hard Disk

NOTE

CAUTION

2 How to Install Accessories Inside Your PC Workstation

Installing Mass Storage Devices

If you are installing an additional SCSI drive, you should assign an unused SCSI address to this accessory. SCSI addresses range from 0 to 7 for Ultra narrow 8-bit SCSI and from 0 to 15 for Ultra wide 16-bit SCSI. SCSI address 0 is used by the first SCSI hard disk drive and SCSI address 7 is reserved for the integrated SCSI controller (the default for narrow and wide SCSI devices).

You do not need to select a SCSI address for Plug and Play SCSI hard disks (SCSI hard disks that support the SCAM protocol). SCAM is disabled if the RAIDport adapter is installed.

You should assign an unused SCSI address to the second SCSI hard disk drive (for example, SCSI address 1).

The SCSI address is usually configured with jumpers on the SCSI hard disk drive. Refer to the installation guide supplied with the drive for information on selecting a SCSI address.

Some internal SCSI disk drives may have termination resistors that must be removed or disabled before installation in your computer. Refer to the drive’s installation guide for more details and to see if there is a special installation procedure to follow.

Installing a Hard Disk Drive in an Internal Shelf

Hard disk drives larger than one inch (1”) in height can only be housed in the lower internal shelf.

1Disconnect the computer’s power cord and any telecommunications cable.

2Remove the computer’s cover (see page 25).

3Remove the fan connection to the system board (see the illustration on page 29).

4Press the retaining buttons on each side of the HP UltraFlow airflow guide and lift it out of the PC Workstation’s case.
