Quick installation guide
Ultrastar 9LP & 18XP
Multi-mode SE/LVD
Models: DGHS-09V, DGHS-09D,
DGHS-18V, DGHS-18D
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 installing the drive, touch a grounded,
unpainted metal surface with the static-protective
package containing the drive 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 the drive packaging material including the
ESD bag in the event that the drive must 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.
This procedure may require use of a bootable System
Diskette containing FDISK.COM and FORMAT.COM.
Setting the address
1. Each drive on the SCSI bus must have a unique
address. Sixty-eight and eighty-pin (Wide SCSI)
devices have 16 possible addresses.
2. SCSI address bits 3 (68- & 80-pin models only), 2,
1, and 0 of the 32-pin Option Jumper Block are used
to select the SCSI device ID.

Attaching the drive
1. Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord and
open the case.
2. If the DGHS drive is the only device on the SCSI
cable, attach it to the end of the cable furthest from
the controller. (Note that the using system is responsible for making sure that all required signals are
terminated at both ends of the cable.)
3. Select the other option jumpers as required by your
computer.
4. Attach the power connector.
Mounting the drive
1. Mount the drive securely, using the appropriate
brackets or rails, in any axes, using four 6-32 UNC
metric screws in the bottom or side mounting holes.
2. The maximum screw insertion depth for mounting
is 3.8 mm (.15 in).
Configuring your computer
1. Plug in the power cord, insert the System Diskette
and power on your computer. Your computer may
detect a configuration change and prompt you to
proceed to the Setup screen. If so, proceed to step 3.
2. If your computer does not prompt you to enter
reconfiguration, 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.
3. Follow the Setup menu to configure your computer
with your new SCSI drive. It may be necessary to
restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
Partitioning and formatting (using DOS 5.0 or
later)
Caution: Be sure that you select the correct hard
drive. Partitioning and formatting will erase all data.
1. At the DOS prompt type FDISK, press [ENTER],
and follow the instructions on the screen.
2. To format the primary system drive, type FORMAT
C:/S at the DOS command prompt and press
[ENTER]. The /S parameter makes C: the operating
system startup drive.
3. To format a second drive (not C:), type FORMAT X:
(where X is the drive letter assigned by FDISK) at the
DOS prompt and press [ENTER]
4. Remove the diskette and restart your computer.
The installation is complete.
If your system will not boot up after complete
installation, recheck all settings. If the system still
fails to boot up, remove the new drive to return the
system to its original configuration and call the IBM
Hard Disk Drive Technical Support Center.
