IBM storage products Getting started Handling precautions CAUTION! Most hard disk drive damage is caused by poor handling, physical impact, or electrostatic discharge (ESD). Heeding the precautions listed below may eliminate the occurrence of such damage. Ÿ To prevent damage from impact or vibration always set the drive down gently. Ÿ Do not open the ESD bag containing the drive until required. Ÿ Handle the drive carefully by the edges.
IBM storage products Ÿ Record the following information for future reference: Drive model __________________________________________________ Drive part number _____________________________________________ Drive serial number ____________________________________________ Date of purchase ______________________________________________ Place of Purchase _____________________________________________ Configure the jumper settings Option jumper blocks The drive has features that are usually enabled by the use of
IBM storage products Assign a SCSI address Assign a SCSI address to the drive by placing jumpers on the appropriate pins. Refer to the chart below for pin combinations. Address 7 is generally reserved for the controller card. SCSI Address 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Jumpers required on pins ... none 7&8 9 & 10 7 & 8, 9 & 10 11 & 12 7 & 8, 11 & 12 9 & 10, 11 & 12 7 & 8, 9 & 10, 11 & 12 SCSI Address 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Jumpers required on pins ...
IBM storage products Auto Start Delay and Delay Start 6/12 The Auto Start Delay option (pins 3 and 4 on option block J6) and the Delay Start 6/12 option (pins 5 and 6 on option block J6) control when and how the drive spins up and comes ready in conjunction with Enable/Disable Auto Spin up (pins 1 and 2 on option block J6). If Auto Spin up and Auto Start Delay are jumpered, the spinning up of the drive is delayed by a period of time multiplied by the drive’s SCSI address.
IBM storage products Driving an LED To drive a Light Emtting Diode (LED) tie the LED Anode to pin 1 of option block J4. Tie the LED Cathode to pin 2 of option block J4. Using the following illustration make the connections as indicated. Tie pin 2 of J4 to pin 8 of the Auxiliary connector on the 68 pin model or to pin 77 of the 80 pin connector on the 80 pin model using the 150 Ohm resistor as indicated. This feature does not require the use of a jumper.
IBM storage products Mount the drive Note: Drive bays and other enclosures vary in size and orientation from system to system. They may be oriented vertically, horizontally, upside down, or sideways. The IBM Ultrastar can be mounted with any of its six surfaces facing down. Ÿ Mount the drive as instructed by your computer system manual using four 6-32 UNC screws. Ÿ The drive should be mounted securely enough to prevent excessive motion or vibration. Ÿ Ensure that the drive has sufficient air flow.
IBM storage products Attach the cables Drives with 68 pin connectors Connect the SCSI cable and the power cable to the drive. The SCSI connector and power connector are keyed for proper insertion. Drives with 80 pin connectors 80 pin drives are plugged into back planes of servers and require no cables. If you want to connect an 80 pin drive to a 68 pin SCSI cable, a converter is needed. Not all SCA converters support LVD mode.
IBM storage products Verify host adapter settings Note: The example below uses the Adaptec 2940UW controller with DPSS-318350. 1. Insert a bootable diskette into the diskette drive. 2. Turn the computer on. You should see the drive model displayed when the system is booting. 3. Verify the adapter settings. 4. Press [CTRL] [A] to enter the Adaptec SCSI setup utility. The following screen is displayed. Adaptec AHA-2940 Ultra/Ultra W BIOS v1.23 (c) 1996 Adaptec, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

IBM storage products Partition the drive Note: This example uses FDISK to partition your drive. You may use a similar partitioning program from your operating system to partition your drive. 1. Boot to a bootable diskette and type ‘FDISK’ at the A:\ prompt. If Windows 95 OSR2 or Windows 98 is used, the following screen will be displayed. Your computer has a disk larger than 512 MB.
IBM storage products 3. Select option 1 to create a DOS partition. The following screen is displayed. Create DOS Partition or Logical DOS Drive Choose one of the following: 1. Create Primary DOS Partition 2. Create Extended DOS Partition 3. Create Logical DOS Drive(s) in the Extended DOS partition. Enter choice: [3] Press ESC to return to FDISK Options 4. Select option 1 to Create a Primary DOS Partition. 5.
IBM storage products 12. Press ESC to return to the main menu and press ESC again to exit FDISK. 13. Restart the system for the partitions to be recognized. Format the drive The drive must be formatted before an operating system can be loaded. Format the Primary partition and any Extended partitions that have been made by following these steps: 1. After booting from a bootable diskette, run FDISK, option 4 to verify the partition information from the previous step.
IBM storage products Appendix A. How to create a bootable diskette If you have a bootable Windows operating system, follow the steps below to create a Windows 95 or 98 startup diskette: 1. Insert a blank floppy disk into drive A. 2. From Windows 95 or 98, double click My Computer. 3. Double click Control Panel. 4. Double click Add/Remove Programs. 5. Select Startup Disk tab. 6. Click Create Disk. Follow the prompts.
IBM storage products C. Compatibility The IBM SIT Lab tests Ultrastar drives for compatibility with a wide variety of systems, controller cards, and operating systems. Testing was done to demonstrate compatibility with the following hardware and software. Other combinations of hardware and software may function with this drive, but were not tested.

IBM storage products Resolution: Place the 68 pin drive at the end of the bus and set the jumpers for the drive for active termination, which provides termination to all 68 pins. If the drive does not provide termination, the converter should provide on board termination so that all unused lines are terminated. Ÿ The termination for a drive should match the interface type of the drive.
IBM storage products Ÿ You must provide termination externally, either from another device or from a separate termination block. Ÿ Depending on how the adapter handles the “Diff Sense” line on the interface, you may need to set the jumper on the drive to Force Single Ended mode. ü On multi-channel SCSI adapters, do not use more than two channels off each adapter. ü In RAID environments, it is important to disable SCAM. Ÿ Disable at the adapter, if available. Ÿ Disable at the drive.
IBM storage products Hard disk drive (HDD) A stand alone disk drive that reads and writes data onto rigid disks and can be attached to a port on the system unit. Synonymous with fixed disk drive and hard drive. Interface A hardware or software protocol, contained in the electronics of the disk controller and drive, that manages the exchange of data between the hard disk drive and the computer. The most common interfaces for small computer systems are ATA (IDE) and SCSI.
