Using a Removable Hard Disk Drive Adapter
Configuring a hard disk for additional storage
The procedure for doing this is described in “Configuring an External
Hard Disk – Worked Example” on page 7-6.
Using a Removable Hard Disk Drive Adapter
The removable hard disk drive adapter (RHDDA) can be used to
connect an additional Series 2 removable hard disk drives to the SCSI
port of your SPARCbook. The RHDDA is connected to the SCSI port
on the I/O panel of your SPARCbook and draws power from the
SPARCbook’s SCSI port. It does not require a separate power supply.
Note
Only Series 2 removable hard disk drives can be used with the RHDDA. The
removable hard disk drive supplied with SPARCbook 3000 models is a different
type and can only be used internally.
ò
Connecting the RHDDA
Connect the RHDDA to your SPARCbook as follows:
1.
Ensure your SPARCbook is powered off.
2.
Connect the RHDDA to the SCSI port on your SPARCbook
using the cable supplied with the RHDDA.
3.
If necessary, use the remaining SCSI connector on the rear of the
RHDDA to connect to other SCSI devices. Because it takes
power from the SPARCbook, the RHDDA should be connected
nearest to the SPARCbook.
4.
Install and configure an RHDD as described below.
