Hard Disk Drives
Installing a Hard Disk Drive
This procedure explains how to install your hard disk drive in the slot
that has been preassigned SCSI ID 5. On internal hard disk drives, the
slot determines the addressing. There are no cables required when
installing a hard disk drive. Note that to install the hard disk drive, your
computer must be turned off.
NOTE
If you are installing a hard disk drive, you will need to mount it and
create a file system on it. This should be done after you have installed
the hard disk drive.
To mount a hard disk drive and create a file system on it use the
procedure provided in the section “Adding a Hard Disk Drive as a File
System Using SAM” found in this chapter.
1.
Open the front panel of your system unit using the instructions found
in
the
section
“Opening
the
System
Unit
Front
Panel.”
In
the
lower-right corner of the system unit as you face it, there are two
hard drive slots. The slot on the right is the one discussed in this
section. See Figure 5-37.
