Attention: If you move the disk drive from a colder or warmer environment than the room where it will be used, allow the disk drive to gradually reach the temperature of the room. By allowing the disk drive time to acclimate, data loss or permanent damage to the disk drive can be avoided. The proper time is at least one hour for each 10°C (18°F) of difference between the storage environment and the operating environment.

1.Set the address settings of the new disk drive the same as the settings of the old drive. For more information, refer to Chapter 9 of Diagnostic Information For Micro Channel Bus Systems.
