Before you begin installation, please read the following important disk drive handling
caution:
HARD DISK DRIVE HANDLING GUIDE
These notes are designed to provide a simple overview of the need to be cautious when handling a disk
drive.
Disk drives can be easily damaged either by electrical static shock or by rough handling. In order to
minimize the risk of damage it is essential that disk drives be handled 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 introduce shocks which exceed the specification.
Please note that the capacity of each disk drive to withstand electrical or mechanical shock varies
depending on its design. The IBM Hard Disk Drive Technical Support Center can advise you on the
suitability of your Deskstar drive for a specific application.
Damage incurred to a drive might not be immediately evident and may cause it to fail months later.

Step 1: Installation Checklist
To install the Ultrastar drive you may need the following components, depending on your computer:
1) __ The installation kit containing your Ultrastar drive, 4 mounting screws, and any related publications.
Save the box the drive came in.
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. (If you do not have a bootable DOS diskette, see instructions for
creating one 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 on page 25 for more information.)
Continue installation with the following procedures:
1) __ Backup your existing drive to avoid any loss of data during installation. (See the section entitled
Backup & Restore on page 24.) After completing backup, shut down as normal.
2) __ Unplug your system from the electrical outlet.
3) __ Establish 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 with
the hard drive encased in it’s 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/or your system.
(See Utilities on page 25)
5) __ Record the following information:

Installation Kit
The DRVS model drives come complete with 4 screws for mounting and an installation guide.
Hardware Description
The Ultrastar 9LZX and 18ZX family is available in various models with a variety of the following options:
SCSI Electrical Signal TypeSCSI Pins/Connector TypeModelCapacity
Low Voltage Differential (Ultra2)68 / Unitized ConnectorDRVS-09V9.1 GB
Low Voltage Differential (Ultra2)80 SCA-2DRVS-09D9.1 GB
Low Voltage Differential (Ultra2)68 / Unitized ConnectorDRVS-18V18.2 GB
Low Voltage Differential (Ultra2)80 SCA-2DRVS-18D18.2 GB
{ Capacity of 9.1GB or 18.2GB
{ 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 have an advanced LVD interface and support 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 your SCSI controller does not support LVD, the drive will work, but will be
limited in data transfer speed due to the lower speed of your controller. If you have a slower controller,
you may choose to purchase an LVD controller card (which fits into one of the available slots in your
computer) to take advantage of Ultrastar’s 80 MB/sec data transfer rate.
If you currently have wide SCSI drives (single-ended) and a non-LVD controller, you may still attach the
Ultrastar 9LZX or 18ZX to the existing cable. However, single-ended wide SCSI drives cannot be added
to a bus with an LVD drive if it is connected to an LVD controller.
To determine if your current controller card is LVD, refer to the documentation that came with your
controller or contact the controller manufacturer for information.
These drives are 3.5" drives designed to work in NT and Unix workstations and servers. They are ideal
for use in video production and movie editing. The Ultrastar 9LZX and 18ZX families are designed to
work with MMX systems. Compatibility listings are included in the appendix.

Step 2: Prepare to install your hard drive
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 of 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 the
diagram on page 9.) These are physical settings that can be changed to allow for different uses of your
hard
drive.

SCSI Address Determination
Drive Termination
The SCSI bus will need to be terminated at both ends of the bus. The Ultrastar 9LZX and 18ZX do not
have onboard active termination. You will need to supply an external Ultra2 compatible terminator.
Termination Power
Some controllers may require the drive to supply 5 volts of power to the bus to in termination. If your
controller requires this, place a jumper on the Termination Power Enable jumpers to the side of the
jumper block. These pins require a 2.54mm jumper shunt.
Auxiliary Option Jumper Block
The 68 pin models contain an “auxiliary” connector that replicates some of the functions contained in the
front option jumper block. Either the front option block or the auxiliary option block may be used, but not
both.
Additional Jumper Options
The Ultrastar drives offer additional options on the jumper block. See the appendix for details of the
additional jumper options shown below.
