Hardware description
The Ultrastar 18ES is available in various models with the following options:
!
Capacity of 18 or 9GB
!
50, 68, or 80 pin connectors
!
50 pin SCSI connectors use the SCSI A connector.
!
68 pin SCSI connectors use the SCSI P connector.
!
80 pin SCSI connectors use the SCA-2 connector

These drives offer an advanced LVD interface that supports transfer rates of up to 80 MB/sec. To take
advantage of the higher transfer rate of 80 MB/sec, your computer will need to have a controller that
supports the LVD interface. If you have a SCSI controller that does not support this interface, the drive
will still function, but will be limited to data transfer speeds significantly lower than 80MB/sec due to the
lower speed of your controller. If you have a slower controller, you may wish to purchase an LVD
controller card to take advantage of Ultrastar’s 80 MB/sec data transfer rate. An LVD controller card will fit
into any available slot in your computer. To determine if your current controller card is LVD, check the
documentation that came with your controller or contact the controller manufacturer.
If you currently have single-ended wide SCSI drives and a non-LVD controller, you may still attach the
LVD model Ultrastar 18ES to the existing cable. If you choose to replace your non-LVD controller with an
LVD model, in most cases, single-ended wide SCSI drives can be attached to the same bus with an LVD
drive. However, there are some LVD controllers that do not support single-ended wide SCSI drives.
Check the documentation that came with your controller or contact the manufacturer to ensure that your
LVD controller will support single-ended wide SCSI drives.
The Ultrastar 18ES family is ideal use by video producers and movie editors. These drives are designed
to work with MMX systems. Compatibility listings are included in the appendix. Before you begin
installation, please read the “Hard disk drive handling guide” on the following page.

Hard disk drive handling guide
These notes are designed to provide a simple overview of the need for caution when handling a disk drive.
Disk drives can be easily damaged by electrical static shock or rough handling. In order to minimize the
risk of damage to a disk drive, it is essential that the drive be handled while resting on a cushioned surface
(which is electrostatically safe). Examples of static-safe mats available at the time of this printing are
3M's 8210 table mat and 3M's "First Touch" computer pad.
Great care should be taken when handling disk drives. Do not bump them against any object. When
attaching brackets or mounting the drive in the computer, be very careful. It is very easy to unintentionally
cause shocks which exceed specifications.
Please note that the capacity of each disk drive to withstand electrical or mechanical shock varies
according to its design. The IBM Hard Disk Drive Technical Support Center can advise you on the
suitability of your Ultrastar drive for a specific application.
Damage incurred to a drive might not be immediately evident and could cause the drive to fail months
later.

Step 1: Installation checklist
To install the Ultrastar drive you may need the following items, depending on your computer’s
components:
!
The installation kit (as shown in the diagram below) containing the Ultrastar drive, 4 mounting
screws, and any related publications. Save the box the drive came in.
Screwdriver
Hard Driv e
Installation
Guide
Jumpers
Screws
!
The documentation that came with your computer or storage enclosure.
!
A small, flat-blade screwdriver.
!
A SCSI controller, which is either built-in or an adapter inside your computer, and any related
Installation Gui de
documentation.
!
Mounting brackets, if required for your computer. Contact your place of purchase if you
are not certain if mounting brackets are required.
!
A bootable DOS diskette. (See the section entitled Making a bootable diskette in the
appendix.)
!
If you are replacing an older internal drive with the new Ultrastar drive and want to copy all of the
files from the older drive to the new drive, you may need additional software. (See the section
entitled Drive copy in the Appendix.)

Step 2: Prepare for installation
Begin by backing up your existing drive to avoid any loss of data during installation. (See the section
entitled Backup and Restore in the Appendix.) After completing the backup, shut down as normal.
Opening your computer
!
Turn the system off.
!
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
!
Remove all cables from the back of your computer, labeling them if necessary.
!
Remove the cover from your computer. (Consult your user's guide for instructions if needed.)
Unpackaging your hard drive
!
If available, use an ESD (Electronic Static Discharge) wrist strap while handling your drive.
!
If an ESD wrist strap is not available, discharge static electricity by establishing a common voltage
between your body and the hard drive. Simultaneously touch the hard drive in its antistatic bag and
an unpainted metal surface on the outside of your computer system with your bare hands.
!
Remove the drive from the antistatic package that it was shipped in. Handle the drive only by the
sides and avoid excessive movement until the drive has been mounted.
!
Do not touch the main computer chip board.
!
Do not drop the drive. A drop from only 1/4 inch could permanently damage your hard drive.
!
Place the drive carefully on a static free area.
!
Record the following information:

Note:Do not low-level format your drive! IBM drives are low-level formatted by the manufacturer and
reformatting may cause permanent damage to your drive and your system. (See the section entitled
Utilities in the Appendix.)

Step 3: Jumper settings
The jumper settings are found on the hard drive on the opposite end of the interface connector (see
diagram page 12). They are physical settings that must be changed for different uses of a hard drive. As
shown below, there are two option jumper blocks located on the card of 50 and 68 pin models of the
Ultrastar 18ES. 80 pin models have only one option jumper block.
SCSI ID Jumpers
Each SCSI device will need to have its own SCSI ID. You can use ID 0 through ID 15, reserving ID 7 for
your controller card. Follow the table below to set an ID on your SCSI drive.
