On Removing Drives
If you remove a secondary hard drive or floppy drive and do not intend to replace it, you
need to inform the system that the drive is no longer there. For more information, select
“On-line Books” from the Help toolchest, and search for “Removing a Disk” in the
Personal System Administration Guide.
Installing External Devices
This section explains how to connect an external SCSI device to an IRIS Indigo
workstation. External devices include the 1/4” tape drive, CD-ROM drive, and other
external SCSI devices.
Follow the steps below to connect an external SCSI device to your IRIS Indigo
workstation.
Assigning a SCSI Address to the External Device
Before shutting down your system and installing an external device, you need to assign
an address to the device.
•
If you currently do not have any extra internal devices or external devices attached
to your system, you can assign any number from 1 to 7 to the new device. Skip to
“Setting the SCSI Address on the External Device” on page 76.
•
If you have at least one or more internal or external devices attached to your system
and you are adding another device, you must check which addresses are assigned
to the existing external devices and then choose a number between 1 and 7 that has
not already been assigned.
To check available addresses for external devices, follow these steps:
1.
If IRIS Indigo is powered off, turn on the power switch on the back of the Indigo
chassis.
2. Log in to your account. For more information on logging in, refer to “Logging In to
the Workstation” on page 27.
3. When the system comes up, select “System Manager” from the System toolchest.
