Installing Accessories

Overview

This chapter describes how to install the following accessories in the PC:

•mass storage devices — check with your dealer for supported devices:

◊◊ drives with front access, such as:

∗3.5-inch flexible disk drive

∗5.25-inch flexible disk drive

∗SCSI-2 CD-ROM

◊◊ hard disk drives

∗SCSI-2 hard disk drives

∗IDE hard disk drives

•main memory modules (installed in identical pairs):

◊◊ 4 MB memory module

◊◊ 8 MB memory module

◊◊ 16 MB memory module

◊◊ 32 MB memory module

•Dual Companion Processor

•accessory boards, such as the Matrox Video Adapter board

•2 MB Video memory upgrade for Matrox Video Adapter board (Only for models that are

supplied with a Matrox Video Adapter).

For information on product numbers and other supported accessories, refer to the product

datasheet.

When installing accessories:

•You will need a "medium" tip flat-blade screwdriver. The tip should be 6 mm wide.

•Keep any parts you remove from the PC in a safe place, in case you need to install

them again later.

•If you have a PC with a SCSI hard disk drive and you wish to install an IDE hard disk

drive, refer to the section Installing IDE Devices in this chapter before installing the

drive.

•If you install non-supported disk drives, or you have two hard disk drives fitted, you may

have to set jumpers or switches on the drives, or change the drive data cable. (Refer to

the manual supplied with the accessory disk drive for more information.)

•Before installing accessory boards, check available system resources and change the

board's switch settings if necessary. (Refer to Installing Accessory Boards.)

•After installing accessories, check the PC's configuration by running SETUP. (Refer to

“Configuring Your PC”.) If you installed ISA accessory boards, run the ISA

Configuration Utility in the Plug and Play group, in Windows. (Refer to Installing

Accessory Boards, later in this chapter.)

WARNING For your safety, never remove the PC's cover without first removing the power

cord, and any connection to a telecommunications network.

Some large displays are heavier than one person can lift safely. Refer to the

display's documentation. If in doubt, never lift a large display without help.

Removing the Cover

1. Switch the PC and display OFF.

2. Disconnect the power cords from the power outlets. Disconnect the power cords from

the PC and display, then remove the display.

4. Unclip the tabs on each side of the cover, at the back of the PC.

5. Slide the cover forward 5 cm (2 inches), and lift it up and off the PC.

Converting from a Desktop to a Deskside Unit

Your PC can be used in either a desktop or a deskside position.

1. Remove the PC's cover as described earlier in this chapter.

2. Change the nameplate as follows:

a. From behind the front panel, push the nameplate's stem to release the locking tabs

from the cover.

b. Turn the nameplate into its deskside position. Align the key on the nameplate with

the hole in the cover. Then push the nameplate back into the cover.

attached.

b. Turn the control panel into its deskside position. Insert the plastic tabs into the frame.

Ensure the metal case around the panel is inside the frame. Gently push the control

panel back into place.

4. Install any other accessories before replacing the cover.

Where to Install the Accessories

Disk drives and accessory boards can be installed without moving the power supply. You will

need to move the power supply to install main memory or add an upgrade processor.

Installing Mass Storage Devices

The PC uses flexible disk drives, IDE hard disk drives, and SCSI-2 drives. For other devices,

you may need to install a controller board or remove terminating resistors.

The PC is supplied with a 3.5-inch 1.44 MB flexible disk drive installed in the top shelf. Some

models have a hard disk drive already installed. The PC has four shelves for mass storage

devices — check with your dealer for supported devices:

•the top shelf has a 3.5-inch "slim" (1-inch high) 1.44 MB flexible disk drive.

•the middle shelf can be used for any 5.25-inch half-height front-access device, such as

a flexible disk drive or CD-ROM drive.

•the bottom shelf can be used for a secondary 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch hard disk drive, or

for any 5.25-inch half-height front-access device.

•the rear shelf is used for a primary 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch hard disk drive.

Installing IDE Devices

If you have a PC with a SCSI hard disk drive and you install an unformatted IDE hard disk

drive with no operating system on it, the PC will not boot. This is because after installing an

IDE hard disk drive it will always be the bootable drive.

NOTE In this case, before installing an IDE hard disk drive, make bootable copies of the

operating system.

•For PCs with the DOS/Windows operating system, use the Master Diskette Creation

Utility, located in the HP Utils Group in Windows. Refer to the operating system

documentation for information on formatting a drive and installing the operating system.

•For non-DOS/Windows operating systems, refer to the operating system documentation

for information on how to create a bootable diskette, formatting a drive, and installing

the operating system.

The first IDE hard disk drive you install must then be connected to the longer IDE data

cable. This is the Drive 1 position, as defined in the SETUP program.

When installing an IDE device other than a hard disk drive, connect it as follows:

•use the longer IDE data cable for a device installed in the middle shelf

•use the shorter IDE data cable for a device installed in the lower shelf.

Installing SCSI Devices

You can install up to seven SCSI devices. Up to three can be installed internally, the rest

can be installed externally. Set a unique address on each device, from 0 to 6. Make sure

addresses of internal and external devices are different. The operating system loads from

the hard disk drive with the lowest address.

A bootable SCSI hard disk is always configured with default SCSI address 0. Additional

SCSI drives may also be delivered pre-set to SCSI address 0. These drives must be

reconfigured to another SCSI address number, usually with a jumper on the drive. This must

be done to avoid addressing conflicts, as two SCSI devices cannot share the same SCSI

address number.
