WD1006V-MC1/WD1006V-MCR
HOW TO INSTALL YOUR SOFTWARE
Now that you have installed the WD1006V-MC1/R 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 WD1006V-MC1/R 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. 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 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.

CAUTION
Do NOT start the low level format until you have a backup copy of the
information on your hard disk. This warning usually applies to previously
used hard disks.
When you have a new hard disk, you usually do not have information to
backup except in the case where your dealer installs some applications
software on your unit.
**************************************************************************
LOW LEVEL FORMAT
**************************************************************************
Before you start the low level format, you need to decide what to do with the
data (if any) on your hard disk drive unit.
If you are installing a brand new (never used) hard disk drive unit, skip the
next few paragraphs and go to step 1 on the next page.
If you are installing a hard disk drive unit which was previously in an AT
computer with a Western Digital controller, you have two options:
keep the files on the AT hard disk drive unit
erase all files on the AT hard disk drive unit
If you decide to keep all the files, do not continue with the instructions in
this chapter. The format will destroy all information on the hard disk.
If you decide to erase all the files, continue with the low level format.
1. At the main menu
Press <Ctrl> <A>
The Advanced Diagnostic Menu appears:
Advanced Diagnostic Menu

Are you SURE you want to continue?
Press Y or N
To continue press <Y>
Question Page 1 of 1
Preparing the fixed disk takes between 20 minutes and 2 hours depending
on the size of your fixed disk
Do you want to STOP now?
Press Y or N
To continue press <N>
Question Page 1 of 1
This will DESTROY all previous data on your fixed disk
drive.
This is your LAST chance to stop.
ARE YOU POSITIVE YOU WANT TO CONTINUE?
Press Y or N
CAUTION
The low level format destroys all information on the hard disk. If you
need any information from this hard disk, you should have already made a
backup copy. If this is a new unused disk, then you won't have any
information to backup.
To continue press <Y>
This starts the hard disk format or warning messages appear. If you get
warning messages go to step 4; otherwise go to step 5.
4. Several warnings and messages may appear about the drive
being unreadable. If the warnings contain instructions, follow the
instructions. If the warnings contain no instructions, IGNORE the
warnings.
To ignore these warnings
Press <ESC> or follow instructions on your screen.
5. Messages appear and are updated as the disk is formatted:
Message Page 1 of 1
Preparing drive X
Phase: x
Cylinder: x
Defective Sectors: 0
When the format is completed, the following displays:
Instructions Page 1 of 1
Drive C has the following parameters
Tracks: 306 Sectors/Track: 17
Heads: 4 Sectors Marked as Bad: 0
Approx. Size: 10MB
Enter=Continue
The values for the drive parameters depend on the drive that you
installed and the drive type you selected from the drive tables.
Exit the Reference Diskette program by following the instructions on your
screen. You are done with the low level format.
If you have a second drive to format, go to "Format Second Drive" section 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, the hard disk must be partitioned and have
a high level format done. 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 and partition your drive, first
make sure that the diskette with FDISK is in drive A.
At the A prompt,
Type: FDISK
Press <Enter>
FDISK displays a series of menus. See your operating system 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 disk. This is a simple way to get your operating
system onto your hard disk.
To use the FORMAT utility and load the 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 operating system manual for details.
At this point your hard disk is initialized and the system can read DOS from
your hard disk, if you only have 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.
5
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 WD1006V-MC1/R 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 start
from 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 or replace cables.
Also possibly the drive malfunctioned.
PROBLEM: "Drive Not Ready" or 1780 Error Code.
SOLUTION: Cables reversed, bad cables, or drive malfunction. Check cable
connections and drive.
PROBLEM: "Hard disk verification failed" or Error Code 1790.
SOLUTION: Either the drive type (in the system CMOS memory) violates
the drive's physical parameters or the drive does not have a
readable low level format. Repeat the low level format procedure.
See Chapter 4. Also drive select jumper on drive could be incorrect
(see Chapter 2), or cable backwards, i.e., Pins 1 & 34 switched or
connector cables J2 & J3 switched.
PROBLEM: A drive rated for 50MB completes the low level format, but
the system only formats 10MB.
SOLUTION: Used incorrect ST506 drive type in low level format. Recheck
Table 2-3 and select drive with a better match to the number of
cylinders and heads on your drive. Repeat the low level format.
PROBLEM: Program appears to hang at the start of the low level format.
(Only a problem for drive types that have a defect map.) See Table
2-3 on page 2-8.
SOLUTION: Controller is trying to read the defect map on your new drive(ST506
only). Since the drive is unformatted, the defect information is
not available. Press <<ESC>> when error messages occur. The
software will eventually format the new drive. Be patient. This may
take 10 or 20 minutes before the format begins. See Appendix page
A-8.
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 WD1006V-MC1/R 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 2-13.
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 WD1006V-MC1/R 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 WD1006V-MC1/R board and the existing hard disk drive unit.
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 second 20-pin (data cable) 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 J1 on the WD1006V-MC1/R 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
J2 on the WD1006V-MC1/R 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 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 4-12.
**************************************************************************
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.
**************************************************************************
NOTES ON DRIVE TABLES
**************************************************************************
Several drives types in Table 2-3 contain defect maps. However, these drive
types are specifically for the IBM manufactured drives that have a defect list
on the maximum cylinder + 1. When you select one of these drive types, the IBM
Reference Diskette attempts to read this defect list before starting the
format. The IBM Reference Diskette attempts to read the defect list to retrieve
the bad sector information.
If the defect list is unreadable (the WD1006V-MC1/R cannot read the IBM
formatted defect list in the drive table) there can be a delay of up to 20
minutes before the formatting will begin. This may also happen when you select
these drive types for use with non IBM drives that do not have a defect list
placed on the drive by the manufacturer.
If the drive does not have a defect list placed on it by the drive
manufacturer, then you should enter the defects using commercially available
software. (Contact your dealer.) The drive manufacturer usually attaches a
print out of the defects directly to the drive.
When the drive defects are not entered or are unavailable, an error free drive
over long term use cannot be guaranteed. Although the surface analysis
performed by the Reference Diskette does an adequate job at uncovering defects,
it may not catch all of the defects that would have been identified by the
drive manufacturer. Defects undetected during the surface analysis may grow
over time, eventually becoming hard errors. This would typically only occur
under conditions of long term heavy use.
