INSTALLING REPLACEMENT HARD DISK DRIVE FOR SITE CONTROLLER III OR WINDOWS
NT MODULAR PROFIT POINT
These instructions cover replacement of a hard disk drive in a Site Controller III PC (Kit C07260) or in a Windows NT
Modular Profit Point. Specific settings vary from PC to PC and from drive to drive, and will have to be determined at the
time of installation. If you are unsure how to proceed, refer installation to qualified personnel. The replacement hard drive
from GASBOY comes formatted. All the software will have to be loaded on the drive after it is installed. Any other
software that the user has installed on the existing drive will have to be re-installed on the replacement drive. The following
steps are required and must be done in the order specified:
•
Remove existing drive and install replacement
•
Install Windows NT
•
Install Windows NT Service pack
•
Install Netscape Navigator
•
Remove References to America OnLine
•
Install Adobe Acrobat Reader
•
Create an Emergency Repair Disk
•
Install drivers specific to your hardware
•
Install the CFN III Software or the Profit Point Software
NOTE: If your PC is running OS/2, you will need the SC III Upgrade OS/2 to Windows NT Kit, C07390.
REMOVE EXISTING DRIVE AND INSTALL REPLACEMENT
1.
Before making this change, make sure ALL SC III data has been polled and/or backed up, if possible. You may want
to start by doing an end-of-day, and then run SYSBACK and TRANBACK. All backup files should be copied to a
floppy diskette (ex: SYSBACK.DTA, TRANBACK.DTA, OFFROAD.DTA or copies being used, any *.FMT files in the
BIN directory, etc.). This could take several diskettes depending on the site information you are copying. If the site
controller is on a bank network, make sure a settlement has been done and completed without failure.
2.
If possible, make a disk copy of the FRAMOS.BIN and FRAMOS.CFG files. Copy various other directories/files like
user created command files, JOURNAL.LOG file, the XBIN directory, previous report or log files, etc. If your PC is
equipped with an integral Profit Point, make a copy of the MASTER.PLU, CONFIG.POS, and KEY_LAY.POS files to
a disk. If the PC is running, shut down the operating system. Shut off power and unplug all cables from the PC.
NOTE: All electrostatic precautions must be observed when replacing any PC component. If needed, move the
site controller to a static-free workstation and use a wrist strap while working on the assembly.
3.
Carefully remove the PC housing or access cover to the hard drive. Locate hard drive and disconnect the cables.
Remove hard drive. Keep mounting hardware for installation of new drive.
4.
Install new hard drive into mounting. Connect drive cables, making sure to align pin 1 of the cables with pin 1 of the
drive connector. Pin 1 of the drive connector may be indicated with an arrow or the number 1 silk-screened near the
connector. Connect all cables to the PC.
5.
You need to set the BIOS settings for the new drive. Make sure the monitor is on. You should be able to enter the
BIOS setup screens if you press the DELETE key while the PC is booting up. Switch on the power to the PC, verify
PC is booting, and press the DELETE key. If the monitor is not displaying a BIOS setup screen, reset the PC and try
again. Watch the monitor carefully as it may be necessary to press a key other than the DELETE key to enter the
BIOS setup.
NOTE: Once you have entered the BIOS setup, be very careful not to change settings inadvertently. This may
cause operational problems for the PC which are difficult to diagnose. If you accidentally change
something or think you may have changed something, exit the BIOS setup without saving the changes and
repeat Step 5.
6.
The setup screen should have an IDE auto detection item or icon. If you have a newer PC and there is no IDE auto
detect icon, skip to step 7. Use the arrow keys or the mouse (if possible) and select the IDE auto detect. Activate it
by either double-clicking the mouse button or pressing ENTER. The BIOS will automatically determine the hard drive
settings. When prompted, save the drive settings. Save the changes and exit the BIOS setup. The PC will reset and
begin to boot up. Switch off the PC power and re-assemble the PC housing or access covers.
