The configuration of the drives employs a cable-select feature that identifies the drives as device 0 (primary drive) or device 1 (secondary drive). The computer recognizes device 0 as the drive connected to the short segment of the drive cable (farthest from the system board), and device 1 as the drive connected to the long segment of the drive cable (closest to the system board). When using an 80 conductor Ultra ATA cable, connect the colored connectors as follows: blue­system board (end) gray­device 1 (middle) black­device 0 (end) Drive installation requires no jumper setting changes on the existing or optional drives. All Compaq drives have the jumpers preset for cableselect installation. If installing a second device on the primary controller, you must use an 80 conductor Ultra ATA cable for optimal performance. This cable is standard on select models. Hardware Reference Guide B-1 Installing SCSI Devices Select models feature a Wide Ultra160 SCSI host adapter that supports up to fifteen wide internal and external SCSI devices. Select models come with an internal SCSI hard drive preinstalled. Additional highperformance SCSI devices can be added to these select models. Guidelines for Installing Optional SCSI Devices When installing additional SCSI devices, you must adhere to the following guidelines: The Wide Ultra160 SCSI host adapter supports up to 15 wide SCSI devices. Every SCSI device must have a unique identification (ID) number (0 - 15). The SCSI host adapter identifies signals to and from a SCSI device by its SCSI ID number rather than its location. Moving a SCSI device from one position to another on the SCSI chain does not affect the communication between the controller and the SCSI device. The reserved and available SCSI ID numbers for SCSI devices are as follows: 0 is reserved for the hard drive. 1 through 4 are available. 5 is reserved for a CD-ROM drive. 6 is available. 7 is reserved for the SCSI host adapter. 8 - 15 are available. B-2 Hard Drive Installation Guidelines Every SCSI chain or circuit must be terminated (closed) at both ends. Termination can be accomplished by using the terminating feature on the device or by using a terminated cable. Some devices may not have terminating jumpers on the device. Termination on these devices must be achieved with terminated cable. Turn on an external SCSI device before turning on power to the computer. This enables the system board controller to recognize the external SCSI device and automatically reset. When an external SCSI device is connected to the external SCSI connector on the rear panel of the computer, that device becomes the end of the SCSI chain and must be terminated. The system accommodates a combination of internal and external SCSI devices, such as SCSI tape, CD-ROM drives, and hard drives. When an IDE hard drive and SCSI hard drive are both installed, the system can boot only from the IDE hard drive. Before you can install a SCSI device, you must first verify the SCSI ID of the device and, if necessary, set the SCSI ID to a new number. Be sure that each SCSI device on the SCSI chain has a unique SCSI ID number. Second, you must determine if the device ought to have termination enabled or disabled. Set the termination if necessary. Hardware Reference Guide B-3 Cabling for Optional SCSI Devices Depending on the model, your computer may include one of the SCSI cables shown in the next illustration. SCSI Cable Options Because your computer comes preconfigured, cable configuration does not become a consideration until you decide to add an optional SCSI device. Computers with 2-, 3-, and 4-peripheral SCSI cables come with a terminator on the end of the cable. The connector on the opposite end of the cable always connects to the system board. All SCSI devices connected with these cables must have their termination disabled. Some devices may not have terminating jumpers on the device. Termination on these devices must be achieved with terminated cable. When installing a SCSI device, be sure to route the SCSI cable over the expansion board cage, between the raised areas. For additional information about installing optional SCSI devices, refer to the documentation that comes with the device or contact your Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider. B-4 Hard Drive Installation Guidelines Using SCSISelect with SCSI Devices The Wide Ultra160 SCSI host adapter includes the SCSISelect utility to configure the host adapter and to run SCSI disk utilities. To run the SCSISelect utility: In Post Messages Enabled mode: Press Ctrl+A when the Press for SCSISelect Utility message appears during POST. In Post Messages Disabled mode: When the Compaq logo screen appears, press any key to exit the logo screen. Immediately after exiting the logo screen, press Ctrl+A to access the SCSISelect utility.

Hardware Reference Guide F-1 Turn off the computer before you do either of the following: Wipe the exterior of the computer with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Using cleaning products may discolor or damage the finish. Occasionally clean the air vents on the front and back of the computer. Lint and other foreign matter can block the vents and limit the airflow. CD-ROM Drive Precautions Be sure to observe the following guidelines while operating or cleaning your CD-ROM drive. Operation Do not move the drive during operation. This may cause it to malfunction during reading. Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature, as condensation may form inside the unit. If the temperature suddenly changes while the drive is on, wait at least one hour before you turn off the power. If you operate the unit immediately, it may malfunction while reading. Avoid placing the drive in a location that is subject to high humidity, extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, or direct sunlight. Cleaning Clean the panel and controls with a soft, dry cloth or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Never spray cleaning fluids directly on the unit. Avoid using any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzene, which may damage the finish. Safety If any object or liquid falls into the drive, immediately unplug the computer and have it checked by an authorized Compaq service provider. F-2 Routine Computer Care and Shipping Preparation Shipping Preparation Follow these suggestions when preparing to ship your computer: 1. Back up the hard drive files onto PD discs, tape cartridges, or diskettes. Be sure that the backup media is not exposed to electrical or magnetic impulses while stored or in transit. The hard drive locks automatically when the system power is turned off. Remove and store any program diskettes from the diskette drives. Insert a blank diskette into the diskette drive to protect the drive while in transit. Do not use a diskette on which you have stored or plan to store data. Turn off the computer and external devices. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, then from the computer. Disconnect the system components and external devices from their power sources, then from the computer. Ensure that all boards are seated properly and secured in the board slots before shipping the computer. Pack the system components and external devices in their original packing boxes or similar packaging with sufficient packing material to protect them. For environmental nonoperating ranges, refer to Appendix A, "Specifications," in this guide. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
