PreparingforInstallation 1
This chapter describes:
•Which types of disk drive units you can install in your system
•What tools you need for the installation
•What safety precautions you must observe
•How to unpack and inspect the new disk drive unit
•How to set SCSI addresses on the disk drives
Note – Make sure you perform the tasks described in this chapter before
proceeding with the installation.
Types of Disk Drive Units
The procedures in this manual can be used to install the following:
•Disk drive unit with two 2.1 Gbyte disk drives
•Disk drive unit with two 1.05 Gbyte disk drives
Note – Unless otherwise specified, illustrations in this manual show a typical
disk drive unit. Your disk drives may look different.

Safety Precautions
Caution – Use the electrostatic discharge (ESD) kit provided when working on
the SPARCserver 1000 system.
Table 1-1 Safety Precautions
Item Problem Precaution
Alternating
Current (AC) cord ESD can damage the system components The AC power cord from the server must only be connected to a grounded electrical outlet. The power cord provides a ground path
for the cabinet.
Wrist strap or
foot strap ESD can damage the system components Wear a conductive wrist strap or foot strap when you handle printed circuit boards. The conductive strap discharges static
electricity (which could damage the sensitive electrical components)
safely to ground.
ESD mat ESD can damage the
system components Use the ESD kit provided when working on a printed circuit board. When used with a wrist strap or foot strap, the mat provides ESD
protection and cushions the PC board to prevent breakage of any
small parts that may be mounted on the bottom of the board.
Printed circuit (PC)
board ESD can damage the system components Wear a conductive wrist or foot strap when you handle printed circuit boards, and handle a (PC) board only by the edges.
Store the board in an antistatic bag.
Disk drives ESD can damage the
system components Handle the disk drive by the edges only; be careful with the PC controller board that attaches to the disk drive. Store the disk drive
in an antistatic bag.
Cover panels System damage,
overheating, and
regulatory compliance
Install all cover panels after performing any service work on the
system. The panels keep out foreign objects to prevent physical
damage to internal parts and overheating. Also, some panels are
required for regulatory compliance.
Filler panels System damage and
overheating Install filler panels in all unused card cage slots. Unused, open slots severely reduce the cooling capability of the system and can lead to
equipment damage.

Tools Required •Antistatic mat and wrist strap
•#2 Phillips screwdriver
Unpacking and Inspecting the Disk Drive Unit
1. Inspect the shipping container upon receipt of the disk drives, and look
for evidence of damage.
If the carrier’s agent is not present when the container is opened, and the
contents are found to be damaged, keep all contents and packing materials
for the agent’s inspection.
2. If there is no evidence of damage, carefully remove the package
containing the disk drive unit from the shipping container.
Save the carton and the packing material for possible later use.
Note – Always transport the disk drive unit in the antistatic bag from the
original packaging.
3. Attach the antistatic wrist strap to yourself and the power supply of your
system, and place the antistatic mat on a flat surface.
4. Remove the disk drive unit from the protective packaging and place it on
the antistatic mat with the disk drives face down and the bracket face up.
See Figure 1-1.

5. Inspect the disk drive unit for damage.
If you find any damaged components, contact your service representative.
6. Make sure the screws that secure the disk drives to the bracket are tight.
See Figure 1-2.

Setting SCSI Target Addresses on the Drives
The disk drive unit is installed in the SCSI tray of the SPARCserver 1000
system. The SCSI tray supports up to six SCSI devices: one CD-ROM drive, one
tape drive, and up to four disk drives. See Figure 1-3.
Figure 1-3 SCSI Tray of the SPARCserver 1000 system
Table 1-2 shows the physical arrangement of the SCSI tray and the target
addresses of each drive as you view the tray from the front. Note that each
disk drive has a unique SCSI target address.

Before you install the disk drive unit in the SCSI tray, make sure the SCSI
target address jumpers on the disk drives are set correctly. The locations for
these jumpers depend on the manufacturer of the drive:
•Conner 1.05 Gbyte disk drive is shown in Figure 1-4.
•Seagate 1.05 Gbyte disk drive is shown in Figure 1-5.
•Seagate 2.1 Gbyte disk drive is shown in Figure 1-6.
•IBM 2.1 Gbyte disk drive is shown in Figure 1-7.
Set the SCSI target address jumpers based on the location of the drives in the
SCSI tray, as indicated in Table 1-2.
Note – You may need to remove the bracket that holds the disk drive unit
together in order to access the jumper pins and set the SCSI target address.
To remove the bracket, see Appendix A.
Figure 1-4 Conner 1.05 Gbyte Disk Drive SCSI Target Address Jumpers
Note – On the Conner 1.05 Gbyte drive, E5 should remain jumpered.
