Page 4: Hardware Description
These drives are 3.5" drives designed to work in NT and Unix workstations and servers. They are ideal for use by video producers and movie editors. The Ultrastar 36XP family is designed to work with MMX systems. Compatibility listings are included in the appendix. Before you begin installation, please read the “Hard disk drive handling guide”... -
Page 5: Hard Disk Drive Handling Guide
IBM storage products Hard disk drive handling guide These notes are designed to provide a simple overview of the need for cautioun when handling a disk drive. Disk drives can be easily damaged by electrical static shock or rough handling. In order to minimize the risk of damage to a disk drive, it is essential that the drive be handled while resting on a cushioned surface (which is electrostatically safe). -

Page 9: Step 2: Prepare For Installation
Step 2: Prepare for installation Opening your computer 1. Turn the system off. 2. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. 3. Remove all cables from the back of your computer, labeling them if necessary. 4. Remove the cover from your computer. (Consult your user's guide for instructions if needed.) Unpackaging your hard drive 1. - Page 10 Drive Termination The SCSI bus will need to be terminated at both ends of the bus. The Ultrastar 36XP does not have onboard active termination. You will need to supply an external Ultra2 compatible terminator. Termination Power Some controllers may require the drive to supply 5 volts of power to the bus to aid termination. If your controller requires this, place a jumper on the Termination Power Enable jumpers to the side of the jumper block.

Additional Jumper Options The Ultrastar drives offer additional options on the jumper block. See Appendix for details of the additional jumper options shown below. External Activity LED Write Protect Auto Start Blank SCSI ID Bits Ground Step 4: Mounting After setting the jumpers, mount the hard drive in your system. The Ultrastar drive can be mounted with any of its six surfaces facing down (right side up, upside down, sideways, etc.). -
Page 12: Step 5: Connectors
IBM storage products 41.28+/- 0.5 44.45+/- 0.25 Bottom mounting holes You must ensure that the drive has sufficient air flow. Mount the drive in the system using 4 6-32 UNC screws. The maximum screw length is 3.5 mm for the side holes and 6 mm for the bottom holes. Mount the drive securely enough to prevent excessive motion or vibration. -

Appendix Making a bootable diskette If you do not have a DOS bootable diskette, you may want to make one. This will be necessary for installing your new hard disk drive and in case of system failure. The DOS bootable diskette will contain files necessary to boot your system. - Page 21 make the drive spin and be ready for media access operations. When in Auto-Start Delay mode, the drive will delay its start time by a period of time multiplied by its SCSI address. External Activity (LED) Pins The LED pins can be used to drive an external Light Emitting Diode. Write Protect Pin If the Write Protect pin is jumpered to ground the drive will prohibit SCSI commands that alter the customer data area portion of the media from being performed.
