HOW TO INSTALL YOUR SOFTWARE
Now that you have installed the WD1007V-MC1 hardware, you need to install the
software that tells your computer how to use the hardware.
Installation Summary
The software installation consists of doing the four procedures listed
below.
Configure Computer
Low Level Format
using Reference Diskette
Partition Hard Disk
using FDISK utility program
High Level Format
using FORMAT utility program
You may find it easier to install the WD1007V-MC1 software if you first look
over the complete set of instructions and locate any materials that you are
going to use.
After you complete the low level format on your hard disk drive, you need to
partition your drive and do a high level format before you can use your hard
disk for the first time. The programs: FDISK and FORMAT accomplish these
functions.
The low level format program is done with either the IBM Reference Diskette or
the diskette supplied by your system manufacturer. FDISK and FORMAT are located
on either the DOS diskette or the OS/2 installation diskette.
The following sections give detailed instructions on how to perform these
procedures.
CAUTION
Western Digital uses the standard ESDI interface, but IBM does not
define their drives according to standard ESDI specifications.
Therefore do NOT use the IBM Reference Diskette to format any IBM
drive that is controlled by a Western Digital controller.
Also you can't use the IBM Reference Diskette to format non-IBM drives with the
IBM controller; you need to purchase the Western Digital controller.
These instructions are documented for an IBM PS/2 computer. If you have a
compatible computer, your menu screens may not match those documented here.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for their compatible computer
(i.e., use their reference diskette).
**************************************************************************

1. With the power to the computer off, turn the power on and immediately
insert the Reference Diskette into drive A.
One of the following occurs:
165 Error
Other Error Codes (2 beeps)
IBM Logo
You get the 165 Error if the system configuration has been changed
(i.e., installed board in new expansion slot). However, you get the
IBM logo, if you place the new board in the same slot. Other errors
accompanied by 2 beeps, indicate that the Reference Diskette can
correct the problem.
Follow the instructions 1A or 1B for your system. If you first get the IBM logo
and then the 165 error occurs, go to the instructions for the 165 error.
Instructions for IBM PS/2 computer only. Your screens may be different.
If another error occurs (2 beeps), first correct it with the Reference
Diskette, then proceed with steps 1A or 1B. To correct a 10490 or 10491 error,
perform a low level format on the hard disk(s).
1A. The 165 Error message appears.

Enter=Continue
This message may be slightly different for your system.
The capacity of your drive depends on the drive that you installed.
6. Exit the Reference Diskette program. You are done with the low level
format.
If you have a second drive to format, go to the section, "Format Second Drive"
in the Appendix. Otherwise, continue with steps below.
**************************************************************************
DOS OR OS/2 OPERATING SYSTEM
**************************************************************************
The installation is slightly different and depends on whether you install DOS
or OS/2.
If you are installing the OS/2 Operating system, go to section "OS/2 Operating
System."
If you are installing the DOS Operating system, go to section "Partition
Drive."
If you are installing another operating system, go to section "Other Operating
Systems."
**************************************************************************
OS/2 OPERATING SYSTEM
**************************************************************************
Before you can use a new hard disk, the hard disk must be partitioned with
FDISK and have a high level format done with FORMAT. However, these steps are
done automatically when you install OS/2. Therefore, you do not have to run
these programs separately, UNLESS OS/2 is already installed on your computer
system and you are now adding a second fixed hard disk drive.
If this is your first hard disk, install OS/2. Then go to the next chapter.
If this is your second hard disk, and OS/2 is already installed, see the
Appendix.
**************************************************************************
OTHER OPERATING SYSTEMS
**************************************************************************
Before you can use a new hard disk, you need to partition your hard disk and
perform a high level format on the disk. How these functions are accomplished
depends on your operating system.
Look at the operating system installation manual for instructions on how to
partition your hard disk and how to do a high level format.
After you complete the disk partition and high level format, go to the next
chapter.
**************************************************************************
PARTITION DRIVE (DOS)
**************************************************************************
A partition divides the drive into units and prepares your hard disk for use
with an operating system, such as MS-DOS*. You can select one partition which
takes up your entire disk or several partitions, each occupying a portion of
the disk. Each unit can have its own operating system.
To partition your hard disk with DOS, follow the instructions below.
1. With the power to the computer off, turn the power on and immediately
insert a DOS diskette into drive A.
2. Use FDISK to create a partition.
To use the FDISK utility to partition your drive, first make sure that
the diskette with FDISK is in drive A.
* MS-DOS is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
At the A prompt,
Type:FDISK
Press <Enter>
FDISK displays a series of menus.See your MS-DOS manual for
details.If in doubt, use the default values.
**************************************************************************
HIGH LEVEL FORMAT (DOS)
**************************************************************************
As the final step to the software installation, you need to use the FORMAT
utility, which prepares the hard disk to accept files.
FORMAT Switch "/S"
FORMAT allows you to set certain "switches" which control various aspects of
the procedure. The /s switch copies the operating system from the diskette in
drive A to the newly formatted hard disk.
This is a simple way to get your operating system onto your hard disk.
To run the FORMAT utility and load the MS-DOS operating system onto your newly
installed hard disk drive, follow the steps below.
1. Make sure that the DOS diskette with FORMAT is in drive A.
2. Simultaneously press <Ctrl> <Alt> <Del> keys.
3. At the A prompt
Type:FORMAT C:/S
Press <Enter>
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the process.See your MS-DOS
manual for details.
At this point your hard disk is initialized and the system can read MS-DOS from
your hard disk, when you have only one partition.
High Level Format Second Drive (DOS)
If you partitioned your drive into more than one partition, you must format
each logical drive.
After you format drive C, repeat the above steps to format drive D, except
At the A prompt,
Type:FORMAT D:
Press <Enter>
You are now ready to go to the next chapter.

HOW TO CHECK YOUR INSTALLATION
After you completed the hardware installation, software installation,
and run the FDISK and FORMAT C:/S utilities, you are ready to start
using your system.
Start System From Hard Disk
You are ready to start your system using your newly installed hard
disk drive and WD1007V-MC1 board.
Remember: Remove the diskette from drive A or else your system will
use the operating system on drive A.
To start the system
1. Simultaneously press <Ctrl> <Alt> <Del> keys.
2. The system should respond, several screens may flash, and
finally the
C: prompt will appear.
You may have to enter the date and time, before the C prompt appears.
This depends on how your system is set.
Note: AN ESDI DRIVE WILL ALWAYS BE DRIVE C
Installation Complete
You are now done. The next time you start your system you can use the
hard disk.

HOW TO HANDLE PROBLEMS
If you had a problem with the system, first re-read the instructions
to be sure that you followed them correctly. Check that you typed
information EXACTLY as instructed.
Repeat the procedure a second time to verify that you get the same
error, then check the next section, "If You Have a Problem."
**********************************************************************
****
If You Have a Problem
**********************************************************************
****
First check your physical installation. Look for cables and
connections that are loose or reversed, a computer power supply that
is overloaded, or an incorrectly jumpered hard disk drive.
This section lists some common problems and possible solutions to try
if you have problems after you install your controller.
PROBLEM: "Adapter Configuration Error - 00165" or Error Codes,
162,
163, or 166.
SOLUTION: The system configuration has changed. Use the Reference
Diskette
to set the new configuration. See Chapter 4.
PROBLEM: Winchester activity LED always on.
SOLUTION: Check cable connections. Try to reverse cables or
replace
cables. Also possibly the drive has malfunctioned.
PROBLEM: "Drive Not Ready" Error Code.
SOLUTION: Cables reversed, bad cables, or drive malfunction.
Check cable
connections and drive.
PROBLEM: "Hard disk verification failed" or Error Codes 10480,
10482,
or 10483.
SOLUTION: Drive select jumper on the hard disk drive unit is set
incorrectly (see Chapter 2), or the cables are
backwards, i.e.,
Pins 1 & 34 switched or connector cables J2 & J3
switched (see
Chapter 3).
PROBLEM: "Hard disk verification failed" or Error Codes 10490 or
10491.
SOLUTION: The Error Codes 10490 or 10491 are normal and are
expected when
the drive does not have a low level format. Do a low
level
format. (See Chapter 4.)
PROBLEM: The low level format doesn't begin after you complete
step
5 on page 4-10. Instead the screen returns a message
beginning
with "Which Drive to Prepare for DOS." Repeatedly
answering this
question sends you in a circle and the low level format
never
begins.
SOLUTION: The defect list on your ESDI drive was erased. You'll
have to
re-enter this information. Contact Western Digital
Technical
Support at 1-800-777-4787 and ask for WDLL7FMT.
PROBLEM: None of the suggestions seem to help.
SOLUTION: Call your dealer.
APPENDIX
INSTALL A SECOND DRIVE ON AN EXISTING CONTROLLER
This section tells you how to install a second fixed hard disk drive
on an existing WD1007V-MC1 controller board. You do not have to
remove the existing controller board, but you may have to remove the
fixed hard disk so that you can remove the termination resistor.
(This depends on the location of the fixed disk and the termination
resistor.)
Do not attempt to install your hardware unless you have set the hard
disk drive configuration as explained starting on page 2-6.
The installation requires you to remove the cover from your computer.
See your PS/2 manual for exact instructions on how to remove the
cover.
You need a wide control cable in a daisy chain configuration and you
need to connect another 20-pin data cable.
1. Turn your computer power switch to OFF.
2. Use a screwdriver to loosen the cover screws. Then remove the
computer
cover, so that you can see the expansion slots.
3. Place the new hard disk drive unit into the computer case and
attach
per the manufacturer's installation instructions.
4. Look and see which expansion slot has the WD1007V-MC1 board.
You may have to leave the drive case loose to connect the cables.
Look and determine whether to tighten the connections from the
position of the cable connectors.
5. Check if your existing 34-pin wide control cable is a daisy
chain cable.
A daisy chain cable has 3 connectors. If the cable is not a
daisy chain
cable, then remove the 34-pin wide control cable from the
WD1007V-MC1
board and the existing hard disk drive unit. You will replace
this cable
with a daisy chain cable in the next step.
Leave the 20-pin cable attached to both the drive and the
controller
board.
6. Connect cables to new hard disk drive unit. Follow steps A,B,
and C.
Use a daisy chain cable. Connect the middle connector to the
second drive
unit. See Figure 3-1 for a drawing of the daisy chain cable and
follow the
steps below.
Remember: Connect Pin 1 to Pin 1. Pin 1 of the cable connector
is marked
and is on the color coded edge of the cable. Pin 1 on the
controller board
is shown in Figure 3-2.
A. (Omit this step if you are using an existing daisy chain cable.)
Connect the 34-pin wide control cable end connector on the
shorter
length cable to the first hard disk drive unit's 34-pin
connector.
B. Connect the 34-pin middle connector to the second hard disk
drive unit's
34-pin connector.
The longer length cable is unattached for now.
C. Connect the additional 20-pin (data cable) connector to the
second hard
disk drive unit's 20-pin connector.
7. Locate the internal four pin power connector(s) on your
computer.
See your computer manual.You need either two internal power
connectors on
your computer or you need to split the power connector.
Connect the second drive unit to the second power connector
plug.
8. Connect the free end of the 34-pin (wide control cable)
connector to J4 on
the WD1007V-MC1 controller board. Attach Pin 1 of the cable
connector to
Pin 1 on the controller board.
Note: Pin 1 on the controller board is shown in Figure 3-2.
9. Connect the free end of the second 20-pin (data cable) to J3
(second data
connector) on the WD1007V-MC1 controller board. Attach Pin 1 on
the
cable to Pin 1 on the controller board.
10. Place extra cable lengths so that they are out of the way.
CAUTION
Do NOT pinch the cables when you arrange them inside
your computer case. Do not let the cables lay between the cover and
an internal board. Do not obstruct air flow from fans or vents.
Tighten hard disk unit to computer case, if not already done so in step 3.
11. Replace the computer cover. Your hardware controller installation is
complete. However, your Micro Channel controller board is really
a complex circuit composed of both hardware and software, so that
while the hardware installation is complete, you still need to install
the software. Proceed to the next section for the software installation
steps.
**************************************************************************
FORMAT SECOND DRIVE
**************************************************************************
This section explains how to format a second drive.
To format a second drive, you must return to the low level format
(See Chapter 4.)
1. With the power to the computer off, insert the IBM Reference
Diskette into drive A and turn the power on. See Chapter 4 for a review
of details.
When the main menu appears
Press <Ctrl> <A>
2. When the Advanced Diagnostic menu appears,
Select "Format fixed disk"
Press <Enter>
The next menu appears:
Select: "Prepare Drive D for DOS" option
Press <Enter>
3. Continue with instructions in main body of text on page 4-9.
**************************************************************************
PARTITION/FORMAT SECOND DRIVE WITH OS/2 ALREADY INSTALLED
**************************************************************************
If you install a second hard disk, and OS/2 is already installed, you need to
partition the new hard disk with FDISK and do a high level format with FORMAT.
These were done automatically the first time you installed OS/2. See your OS/2
manual for instruction on how to use FDISK and FORMAT.
