-
- 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).

- 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.

-
- 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.

-
- 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.

- **************************************************************************
- 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.
