4-24 Hardware Upgrades Installing a SCSI Device IMPORTANT: Compaq does not support mixing IDE Ultra ATA and SCSI hard drives in the same system. If you are replacing a hard drive in bay 4 or 5, it must be of the same type. If you are replacing the IDE Ultra ATA hard drive in your workstation with a SCSI hard drive, you will need a SCSI device option kit and the SCSI controller option kit. The controller option kit contains the SCSI controller and cable that supports multiple SCSI devices. Before you install a SCSI device: s Verify the SCSI ID of the drive and, if necessary, set the SCSI ID to a unique number. See the section "Important Guidelines for Installing Optional SCSI Devices" earlier in this chapter or refer to the documentation included with the device. s Determine if the device ought to have termination enabled or disabled. Set the termination if necessary. See the section "Using the SCSI Cable" in this chapter or refer to the documentation included with the device. s To install a SCSI device, please follow the procedures for the following section, "Installing an IDE CD-ROM or Tape Drive." Also refer to the documentation that came with the SCSI device option kit.

Compaq does not support mixing IDE Ultra ATA and SCSI hard
drives in the same system. If you are replacing a hard drive in bay 4 or 5, it
must be of the same type. If you are replacing the IDE Ultra ATA hard drive in
your workstation with a SCSI hard drive, you will need a SCSI device option
kit and the SCSI controller option kit. The controller option kit contains the
SCSI controller and cable that supports multiple SCSI devices.
Before you install a SCSI device:
Verify the SCSI ID of the drive and, if necessary, set the SCSI ID to a
