- Unplug your computer's power cord. Physically install your drive by viewing figures 1a
through 1c.
Before beginning and if available, it is recommended you wear a grounded wrist
strap and use antistatic padding on all surfaces. It is also strongly recommended that you
backup the data on any other drives.
CAUTION: Do not use the center holes on the sides of the drive when
installing it.
Use screws that are no longer than 3mm (1/8 in.) in length (6-32UNC).
Using
screws longer than 3mm will damage your drive.
- Reconnect the power cable to your computer and turn it on.
Follow your system's CMOS/BIOS Setup instructions to enter your computer's Setup program. (Although each computer is different, these instructions
usually appear on your screen during power up.)
- If you can access your computer's Setup program go to step 4; if you can't, go to step
5.
- Once you have accessed your computer's Setup program, check to see if it has Logical
Block Addressing (LBA) as an option. This option is commonly found within one of the
available Setup program menu options. Use your
computer's motherboard documentation for assistance in locating this option.
a) |
If LBA is not an option, go to step 5. |
b) |
If LBA is an option, go to step 6. |

Insert a bootable floppy diskette (i.e.
system/startup disk) in your computer's A: |
|
drive. |

b) |
If you have been able to access your computer's Setup
program, exit the program |
|
now without saving changes. If you have not been able to access your
Setup program, reboot your computer. |
c) |

Congratulations on installing your MPA3052AT hard drive. You may now install your
operating system software.
- Installing Your Hard Drive Using LBA Mode:
a) Enable the
LBA. If Hard Disk Autodetect is an option in your Setup program, it is recommended you use
it to size your drive. If
Autodetect is not an option, set the following disk parameters: 10,172 cylinders, 16
heads, 63 sectors.
b) Place a
bootable floppy diskette (i.e. system/startup disk) in your computer's A: drive.
c) Exit Setup and

fdisk and press Enter.
e) Select 'Create
DOS Partition or Logical DOS Drive'.
f) Next, select
'Create Primary DOS Partition'. When prompted, specify
the percentage of drive space that
you want. DOS has a size
limitation of 2GB per partition.
g) If you wish to
utilize the remaining capacity of your drive (3GB above the 2GB DOS limitation) you will
need to create a second
partition.
h) Select the
fdisk option to 'Create DOS Partition or Logical DOS Drive' then select
'Create Extended DOS Partition'.
i) After the
partitions have been created, the logical DOS drive letter C: will be assigned to the
primary partition,
and another letter will be assigned to the extended partition.

the fdisk program, your computer will reboot.
k) At the A:\>
prompt, type format c:/s and press Enter. This will format your drive with the
system boot files so you may
boot from it. (NOTE:
The formatting process will take several minutes to finish, depending on
the size of your drive and
your computer.
l) To format any
secondary partitions, type format driveletter: at the A:\> prompt and press
Enter (where driveletter is
the logical DOS drive letter assigned to the extended partition).
m) Eject the floppy diskette from your A: drive
and reboot your computer.
