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.

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 Web 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

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 power 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.
