Handling precautions/Electrostatic discharge protection
· Disc drives are fragile. · Drive electronics are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Keep the drive in its antistatic container until you are ready to install it. [. . . ] You do not need to perform another low level format on this drive unless you decide to perform certain diagnostics through the host adapter. If you do decide to perform a low level format, do not abort the format as this is likely to make the drive inoperable. A low level format, with verify turned on, may take over six hours to complete. Protect against power failure or other power interruptions during the format. Boot the system from a system floppy, CD, or from a previously installed hard disc drive if there is one. Be sure that you understand this principle before formatting any hard disc drive. It is not necessary to format a drive that previously has been used to store data, unless your intention is to erase all user data. NL35 Series disc drives are designed to operate with a variety of operating systems. Please refer to your system or Fibre Channel host adapter (controller) manual for information about formatting and setting up the drive for use with your particular operating system.

What you need
· Screwdriver and four 6-32 UNC drive mounting screws · Forced-air ventilation to provide adequate drive cooling · Host system with Fibre Channel host adapter or backplane
Hot plugging the drive
This drive features hot plugging capabilities which allow you to insert and remove the drive without powering down the host system. Any time a drive is inserted or removed from a Fibre Channel loop, a short loop interruption occurs and the loop resynchronizes automatically to accommodate the added (or removed) drive.
Drive startup options
The drive's motor will start spinning the discs based on the status of two signals set by the host adapter. Motor spins up after a delay of 12 seconds times the physical address of the drive. Most systems that host only a couple of drives use option 1 to enable all of the drives to start up immediately when power is applied to the drives. Systems hosting larger numbers of drives may be configured to start drives at various times to avoid overloading the capabilities of the host system's power supply. If you want to change the startup option for the drive, please refer to the documentation provided with your Fibre Channel host adapter or host system.
