IBM ATA-3 - Manual (Page 6)

About This Book
This book contains instructions for installing, setting up, and using
your Deskstar Hard Disk Drive. The manual is divided into the
following parts:
Part 1: Abbreviated installation instructions
Part 2: Product description, installation requirements, and
handling, installation, and configuration instructions
Part 3: Safety, service, and notice information
The illustrations in this publication might be slightly different from
your hardware.
Attention: Be sure to read “Correcting BIOS Limitations and
Partitioning Using Disk Manager” on page 1-6 before you start
your installation. The basic input and output system (BIOS) is the
component in your computer that controls communication between
the processor and the input-output devices. Some BIOS programs
contain addressing limitations that can cause
configuration-management errors and startup program failures
when a high capacity hard disk drive is installed.
Note: For jumper setting and product warranty information, be sure
to read the Deskstar Enhanced IDE (ATA-3) Hard Disk Drive User’s
Guide Supplement.
The installer of the drive will have to complete the following steps:
Set the jumper setting on the drive (and possibly make changes to
installed drives)
Physically install the drive in a 3.5 " or 5.5 " drive bay
Configure the system
Partition and format the drive
Install applications or operating system
If you are unsure about installing this option in your system, have a
qualified technician or IBM authorized carrier to install the drive for
you.
