- 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).

- 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.)
