Preparing the System

To prepare your system prior to the installation:

1. Perform a normal system shutdown.

2. Turn OFF the system.

3. Turn OFF all external peripheral devices attached to the system.

4. Disconnect all power cords - first from the AC mains outlets then from

the system and the external peripheral devices.

5. Disconnect the signal cables from the external peripheral devices.

Setting the Drive’s SCSI ID

Since each device on the same SCSI bus must have a unique ID, the user may
need to set the drive’s ID before installation.

IMPORTANT: Your drive has been configured by Compaq with SCSI ID = 6
selected. For more information on setting the drive’s SCSI ID in a SCO
OpenServer environment, see Appendix C, “Drive Configuration Changes”.

The drive’s SCSI ID is selected using a jumper block located at the rear of
the drive.
