Using Additional Removable Hard Disks
Additional removable hard disks are available from your SPARCbook
supplier. These can be supplied preloaded with the Solaris operating
system for use as an alternative boot disk, or can be supplied blank for
use as additional data storage in conjunction with a removable hard disk
drive adapter (RHDDA). See “Using a Removable Hard Disk Drive
Each new hard disk must be configured for your SPARCbook when it
is first used. This involves:
•
Setting the SCSI ID for the RHDD
•
Carrying out disk configuration
Note
You can only use SCSI removable hard disk drives with SPARCbook 3000
models if they are installed in a removable hard disk drive adapter. See “Using
a Removable Hard Disk Drive Adapter” on page 6-9.

Setting the SCSI ID for the RHDD
Before you use the RHDD, you should check and, if necessary, set its
SCSI ID. The SCSI ID is set with three switches located on the rear of
the Series 2 RHDD as illustrated in Figure 6-2.
The three switches on the rear of the Series 2 RHDD are binary coded
as shown in Table 6-2.
