Handling precautions

1. Do not cover the breather hole! Covering the breather hole may result in loss of data.

2. Do not press on the drive! Do not apply any force to the drive during handling or installation.

3. Always handle the drive with care to prevent damage from shock, vibration, or electrostatic discharge (ESD).

4. Do not open the static-protective bag containing the drive until required. Static electricity can damage the drive.

5. Turn off and unplug your computer. Remove the cover.

6. When you are installing the drive, touch the static-protective package containing the drive to a grounded, unpainted metal surface for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.)

7. Handle the drive carefully by the edges. Do not touch any exposed printed circuit board.

8. Save your drive packaging material including the ESD bag in the event that the drive has to be returned. Place the drive in an anti-static bag before placing it in the shipping container. The warranty will be void if the drive is not returned in IBM approved packaging.

Quick installation procedure

Note: It is advisable to backup all data before proceeding with the installation.

If your system BIOS cannot handle large capacity drives (over 540 MB), you may need to use a disk overlay program such as Ontrack’s Disk Manager. The following procedure uses the Ontrack Disk Manager software. Information on obtaining a copy of Ontrack’s Disk Manager can be found on the Internet at www.ibm.com/harddrive.

Setting the jumpers

1. In a one drive system, configure your new drive as Master (Device 0) with no jumpers installed.

2. In a two drive system, one drive must be designated as the Master, the other as the Slave (Device 1).

3. When installing the new drive as a Slave, check the Master drive to determine if a jumper change is required to indicate that a Slave drive is present.

4. Consult your manual to see if your computer supports Cable Select before choosing this option.

No Jumper (Master)

Note: Pin 20 is left blank for secure connector insertion.

Attaching the drive

1. Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord, and open the cover.

2. Match pin 1 of the 44 pin cable to pin 1 of the drive interface connector. Pin 1 is usually denoted by a stripe along the edge of the cable.

3. Mount the drive securely.

Configuring your computer

1. If your computer has a plug-in IDE card with a drive installation procedure, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Plug in the power cord and turn on your computer. Your computer may detect a configuration change and prompt you to proceed to the Setup screen.

3. If your computer does not prompt you to reconfigure, enter your computer’s Setup, typically by key selection or keyboard combinations during power-on or during a reboot. Refer to your computer’s documentation for the proper key sequence. If the computer fails to boot up, power off, remove the new hard drive and return your system to its original configuration. Reboot and enter your computer’s Setup. Follow the directions in step 4, then reattach the new hard drive.

4. Select “Auto Detect” if your computer Setup supports this feature. If your computer does not Auto Detect the drive, select the appropriate UDT (User Definable Type) for the model being installed. Then run Disk Manager.
