Hardware description
The Ultrastar 36XP is available in various models with the following options:
{ Capacity of 36GB
{ 68 pin or 80 pin (SCA) connectors
{ 68 pin SCSI connectors use the SCSI P connector which supports wide data transfers
{ 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.
If you currently have wide SCSI drives (single-ended) and a non-LVD controller, you may still attach the
LVD model Ultrastar 36XP to the existing cable. However, single-ended wide SCSI drives cannot be
added to the same bus as an LVD drive if that bus is connected to an LVD controller.
To determine if your current controller card is LVD, see the documentation that came with your controller
or contact the controller manufacturer for this information.
These drives are 3.5" drives designed to work in NT and Unix workstations and servers. They are ideal
for use by video producers and movie editors. The Ultrastar 36XP family is 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 cautioun 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). Many such static safe mats are available, examples are 3M's
8210 table mat or 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 introduce 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 long after
the damage occurred.

Installation
Step 1: Installation checklist
To install the Ultrastar drive you may need the following items, depending on your computer’s
components:
1) __ 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
Jumpers
Screws
Hard Drive
Guide
Installation Guide
2) __ The documentation that came with your computer or storage enclosure.
3) __ A small, flat-blade screwdriver.
4) __ A SCSI controller, which is either built-in or an adapter inside your computer, and any related
documentation.
5) __ Mounting brackets, if required for your computer. Contact your place of purchase if you
are unsure if mounting brackets are required.
6) __ A bootable DOS diskette. (See the section entitled Making a bootable diskette in the
appendix.)
7) __ 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.)
Continue installation with the following procedures:
1) __ Backup your existing drive to avoid any loss of data during installation. (See the section entitled
Backup and restore in the Appendix.) After completing backup, shut down as normal.
2) __ Unplug your system from the electrical outlet.
3) __ Discharge static electricity by establishing a common voltage between your body and the hard
drive. Simultaneously touch an unpainted metal surface on the outside of your computer system
with your bare hands and the hard drive in its anti-static bag. Avoid excessive movement until the
drive has been mounted.

4) __ 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.)
5) __ Record the following information:

Step 2: Prepare for installation
Opening your computer
1. Turn the system off.
2. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
3. Remove all cables from the back of your computer, labeling them if necessary.
4. Remove the cover from your computer. (Consult your user's guide for instructions if needed.)
Unpackaging your hard drive
1. Remove the drive from the anti-static package that it was shipped in.
2. Handle the drive by the sides only.
3. Do not touch the main computer chip board.
4. Do not drop. A drop from only 1/4 inch could permanently damage your hard drive.
5. If available, use an ESD (Electronic Static Discharge) wrist strap while handling your drive.
6. Place the drive carefully on a static free area.
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.
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.
