Installing an Internal Hard Disk

The following example explains how to install internal hard disk 9GB and internal hard disk 18GB onto an extended
storage bay.

Extended storage bays 1 to 6 are usable.

Because Hitachi PC VisionBase 8450H/R Server only supports disk array configuration, the starter disk (boot disk)
is set by software.

NOTE: For the purpose of system administration, internal hard disks to be set as boot disk (array) must be installed

starting in extended storage bay 1.

See the attached “Disk Array Maintenance Utility Handbook” for details.

The SCSI ID for an internal hard disk is automatically set according to the extended storage bay onto which it is
installed, as shown in the following table:

NOTE: You need not set a terminating resistor for internal hard disks; a terminating resistor is mounted on the

platter board to be connected.

Use extreme care to protect internal hard disks from shock (hitting or falling on hard material).
Being precision devices, internal hard disks are very susceptible to shock.
