Step 2. Checking the Electrical Outlets
Make sure that the electrical outlets you use are properly grounded.
DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage
on metal parts of the system or the products that attach to the system. It is the
customer’s responsibility to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and
grounded to prevent an electrical shock. (RSFTD201)
Step 3. Assembling the Materials
Refer to your system management or system hardware manuals to locate the
information that you need to install the 7210 DVD-RAM Drive.
1. __ Get your system unit manuals now. You may find the needed information
under the topics:
v
Installing an external SCSI DVD-RAM drive
v
SCSI controllers
v
External SCSI devices
2.
Do not continue until you have located the manual that describes how to
determine where the SCSI controller is located (where you make the cable
connection).

Step 4. Determining the SCSI Address (for RS/6000 or pSeries
Systems Only)
Before you install the 7210 DVD-RAM Drive, you must find a SCSI address that is
not an address being used by another device. To find an unused SCSI address, you
must:
v
Identify the name and the port of the host system SCSI I/O controller to which
you want to attach the 7210 DVD-RAM Drive
v
Identify the SCSI address of that SCSI I/O controller
v
Identify the SCSI addresses of other devices connected to that SCSI I/O
controller
Note: If you attach to a wide bus, SCSI addresses 0-15 are available but only
addresses 0-7 can be used as addresses for the 7210 DVD-RAM Drive. Even
though the 7210 DVD-RAM Drive uses only the range of addresses for a
narrow bus, it is designed to not impact the function of the other devices on
the wide bus; they still negotiate a wide attachment and run at appropriate
data rates.
