Chapter 2 Common Commands for Ultra Drive Configuration

Creating a New Drive

With an Ultraware file open in the Workspace window, you can add a new offline
Ultra3000, Ultra5000, or Kinetix 3 drive.

To add a new drive, perform these steps.

Click Ultra1500, Ultra3000, Ultra5000, or Kinetix 3 in the Insert Menu.

Right-click the Ultraware file, and then-click the drive type (Kinetix 3,
Ultra1500, Ultra3000, Ultra5000).

A new drive appears in the Workspace window.

The name of the new drive is Drive or (if Drive already exists) Drive

n, where n is

the lowest positive integer that creates a unique drive name for the specific drive
model. For example, two 2098-DSD-005 drives may be named Drive and Drive1,
and two 2098-DSD-005X drives may also be named Drive and Drive 1.

Drive
