Handling precautions
Ÿ Do not open the ESD (electro-static discharge) bag
containing the drive until required.
Ÿ Do not apply pressure on the drive during handling
or installation.
Ÿ Always handle the drive with care to prevent
damage from shock, vibration, or electrostatic
discharge.
Ÿ Handle the drive carefully by the edges. Do not
touch any exposed printed circuit board.
Ÿ Do not cover the breather hole! Covering the
breather hole may result in loss of
data.
Ÿ Save the packaging materials including the ESD
bag in the event that the drive must be returned.
Ÿ Record the serial number and part number of your
IBM Deskstar for future reference.
Installing the drive
4. Discharge the static electricity from the package and
from your body. With one hand touch an unpainted
metal surface on your computer chassis, then touch the
ESD bag with the other hand for at least 2 seconds.
5. Unplug the power cord.
6. Remove the drive from the ESD bag. When not
handling it, place it on the bag. The bag provides a
static-protective surface to lay the drive on prior to
chassis mounting.
7. Set the address, Each drive on the SCSI bus must
have a unique address. SCSI address bits 3,2,1, and 0
of the Option Jumper Block are used to select the SCSI
device ID.

8. Remove the drive from the ESD bag.
9. If the drive is the only device on the SCSI cable,
attach it to the end of the cable furthest from the controller. (The using system is responsible for making sure
that all required signals are terminated at both ends of
the cable.)
10. Select the other option jumpers as required by your
computer.

11. Attach the power connector.
12. Mount the drive securely in any axes, using the
appropriate brackets or rails. Use four 6-32 UNC metric
screws in the bottom or side mounting holes. The
maximum screw insertion depth for mounting is 4.0mm
(0.157 in.).
13. If your system boots up, replace the cover.
14. If your system does not boot up, 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
Partitioning and formatting (using DOS 5.0 or later)
Caution: Partitioning and formatting will erase all data.
1. Insert the OS setup diskette into the floppy drive.
2. Turn on the computer.
3. At the DOS prompt type FDISK, press [ENTER], and
follow the instructions on the screen.
3. 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.
4. 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].
5. Remove the diskette and restart your computer. The
installation is complete.
6. Install the operatings system.
