Part 2: Installation Guide Product Description The Deskstar Hard Disk Drive is a 3.5-inch slimline (1-inch high) drive. It can only be installed in computers that use the AT attachment/integrated drive electronics (ATA/IDE) architecture.
Before You Begin Read the following information before you start your installation. The installer of the drive will have to complete the following steps: Set the jumper setting on the drive (and possibly make changes to installed drives) Physically install the drive in a 3.
Mounting brackets and tools Most computers have 3.5-inch and 5.25-inch drive bays. The hard disk drive you are installing is designed for a 3.5-inch bay, but it can be adapted to a 5.25-inch bay. Common bay dimensions are: – 3.5-inch—10.2 cm x 15.
you are installing. Some devices, such as a high speed tape drive, do not operate properly when installed on the same port with a hard disk drive. The primary drive must be configured as master and installed on the primary IDE port. You must install the operating system on the primary drive, normally C:.
file uses one full cluster. The following table shows how the cluster size is incremented as the partition size increases. 16 These examples illustrate the effect of cluster size on hard disk space allocation. If you create a 2.14 GB partition, each disk cluster is 32 KB.
Backup Considerations If you are replacing an installed hard disk drive, make a backup copy of the data from the drive that you are replacing. If you do not know how to back up your hard disk drive, see the documentation that comes with your operating system.
Handling Precautions To avoid damage to your hard disk drive during installation. Do not open the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the drive. Static electricity can damage the drive and other computer components. Before handling the drive, ground yourself by touching an unpainted surface on the computer.
3. If you must put the drive down, place the antistatic bag on a flat padded surface, such as a magazine, and place the drive on the bag with the component side facing up. Step 3. Setting the Configuration Jumpers Your drive has four configuration positions that determine the data transmission priority.
For information on jumper positions for your drive, see the Deskstar Enhanced IDE (ATA-3) Hard Disk Drive User’s Guide Supplement . What to Do Next If you are installing the drive in a 3.5-inch bay, go to “Step 5. Mounting the Drive in the Bay.” If you are installing the drive in a 5.
Step 6. Attaching the Cables to the Drive Use the following procedure to attach the cables. Pin 40 Pin 1 1. Locate a free device connector on the IDE interface cable in your computer. The illustration shows an interface cable with three connectors and two attached devices.
If all power cables are in use, purchase a dc Y-connector (available at many electronic stores) and split a connection to provide power for more devices. Step 7. Completing the Installation To complete the hardware section of the drive installation: 1.
“Correcting BIOS Limitations and Partitioning Using Disk Manager” on page 2-15. Using Your Operating System for Partitioning This section contains instructions about partitioning and formatting your hard disk drive for the DOS, Windows, and OS/2 operating systems.
Installing a Secondary Drive for DOS or Windows Use FDISK and FORMAT to prepare the drive if you are using any of the following: DOS Windows 3.1x Windows for Workgroups 3.1x Windows 95 When you use FDISK you must make decisions about the number and types of partitions that you want to create on the drive.
Installing a Primary Drive using OS/2 If the new hard disk drive will contain your operating system (drive C), use this procedure to prepare the drive and install your operating system: 1. Insert the OS/2 Installation Diskette into drive A. 2. Turn on your computer.
User’s Guide Supplement will list your drive's jumper settings.) c. Replace the computer cover and recheck all external cables. 3. Restart the computer and check the drive size reported by the configuration-setup program. If the drive is not detected, go to Appendix B, “Help and Service Information” on page 3-11.
Normally, drives 1 and 2 are connected to the primary IDE port and drives 3 and 4 are connected to the secondary IDE port. If you have two IDE ports, drives 1 and 3 are the master devices and drives 2 and 4 are the slave devices. If you have one IDE controller, drive 1 is the master device and drive 2 is the slave device.
6. Follow the instructions on the screens to complete the drive partitioning process. Install your operating system as described in the Disk Manager Online Manual .
FileCopy FileCopy is a program that runs under DOS and copies all files from one drive letter to another. You can use FileCopy with Disk Manager to simplify the task of adding a new hard disk drive that will replace your startup drive and will contain your operating system.
Problem Solving You might be able to solve the problem yourself. Before calling IBM, you might want to try some or all of the following troubleshooting procedures. If your computer does not operate correctly, or the drive fails to spin up, be sure that the colored line on the drive end of the cable is closest to the dc power connector.
If your computer does not restart and none of the devices work, the interface cable connector might be connected backwards. To check the connection: 1. Turn off the computer. 2. Disconnect the IDE cable from the drive. 3. Verify that the colored wire is connected to pin 1 on the drive connector and is the closest wire to the 4-pin power connector.
