DRIVE CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
4.1 OVERVIEW
This section contains the configuration parameters and sector
settings for the ESDI disk drives which have been tested by Emulex
and are known to be compatible with the MD23 and the MD24. Also
included in this section is a discussion of disk operation.

4.2.2 DRIVE PLACEMENT
Uncrate and install the disk drives according to the manufacturer's
instruction. Position and level the disk drives in the final places
before beginning the installation of the MD2X. This positioning
allows the I/O cable routing and length to be accurately judged.
4.2.3 DRIVE NUMBERING
The two ESDI disk drives correspond to LUNs 0 and 1. Be careful
that the two drives on the same controller are not assigned the
same number. (The logical unit number is determined by the address
given to the drive.)
