Handling precautions
1.
Do not cover the breather hole!
Covering the
breather hole may result in loss of data.
2.
Do not press on the drive!
Do not apply any force
to the drive during handling or installation.
3. Always handle the drive with care to prevent
damage from shock, vibration, or electrostatic
discharge (ESD).
4. Do not open the static-protective bag containing the
drive until required. Static electricity can damage the
drive.
5. Turn off and unplug your computer. Remove the
cover.
6. When you are installing the drive, touch the static-
protective package containing the drive to a grounded,
unpainted metal surface for at least two seconds.
(This drains static electricity from the package and
from your body.)
7. Handle the drive carefully by the edges. Do not
touch any exposed printed circuit board.
8. Save your drive packaging material including the
ESD bag in the event he drive has to be returned.
Place the drive in an anti-static bag before placing it in
the shipping container. The warranty will be void if
the drive is not returned in IBM approved packaging.
Quick installation procedure
Note: It is advisable to backup all data before
proceeding with the installation.
If your system BIOS cannot handle large capacity
drives (over 540 MB), you may need to use a disk
overlay program such as Ontrack’s Disk Manager.
The following procedure uses the Ontrack Disk
Manager software. Information on obtaining a copy of
Ontrack’s Disk Manager can be found on the Web at
www.ibm.com/harddrive.
Setting the jumpers
1. In a one drive system, configure your new drive as
Master (Device 0) with no jumpers installed.
2. In a two drive system, one drive must be desig-
nated as the Master, the other as the Slave (Device 1)
3. When installing the new drive as a Slave, check the
Master drive to determine if a jumper change is
required to indicate that a Slave drive is present.
4. Consult your manual to see if your computer
supports Cable Select before choosing this option.
