• Elite 9 Installation Guide, part number 83328850
This manual provides basic installation information for persons not
familiar with the product. It also includes information on obtaining techni-
cal support and service for the drive.
4.4 Installation
For option jumper locations and definitions refer to Section 10. Drive default
mode parameters are not normally needed for installation. Refer to
Section 11.3.2 for default mode parameters if you need them.
• Ensure that the SCSI ID of the drive is not the same as the host adapter.
• If multiple devices are on the bus, set the drive’s SCSI ID to one that is not
presently used by other devices on the bus.
• If the drive is the only device on the bus, attach it to the end of the SCSI
bus cable. ST410800N and ST410800W drives have termination built in
(ensure that the internal terminator has not been disconnected—see
Section 10.1 for termination options). ST410800ND and ST410800WD
drives are terminated internally with terminators in the sockets provided
next to the SCSI I/O connector. The terminator part number is 15479501.
• If you attach the drive to a bus that contains other devices, and the new
drive is not attached to the end of the bus, remove termination from the
new drive. To remove (disconnect) termination from ST410800N and
ST410800W drives, remove the jumper from pins 19 and 20 of J4A (see
Figure 12). To remove termination from ST410800ND and ST410800WD
drives, remove the terminators from the sockets located next to the SCSI
I/O connector (see Section 11.7.3.3).
• Set all appropriate option jumpers before applying power to the drive. If
you change jumpers after applying power, recycle the drive’s power to
make the new settings effective.
Formatting
• It is not necessary to low-level format this drive. The drive is shipped from
the factory low-level formatted in 512-byte sectors.
• Reformat the drive if:
a. You select a different sector size.
b. You select a different spare-sector allocation scheme.
