Dell™ PowerEdge™ 1300 Systems
EIDE Hard-Disk Drive Update
This document updates information contained in your Dell PowerEdge 1300 Systems
Installation and Troubleshooting Guide. It describes how to install and use the
enhanced integrated drive electronics (EIDE) hard-disk drives supported by your sys-
tem and provides an EIDE-related update to your System Setup program information.
The integrated EIDE controller in the PowerEdge 1300 supports up to two optional
1-inch or 1.6-inch EIDE hard-disk drives. These drives can be installed vertically in the
removable hard-disk drive cage located below the external drive bays at the front of
the computer.
NOTE: Alternatively, the drive cage provides space for up to four 1-inch small com-
puter system interface (SCSI) drives or a mix of up to two 1.6-inch and up to two
1-inch SCSI drives. Your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide describes how to
install and use SCSI devices.
EIDE hard-disk drives attach to the integrated EIDE controller through the 40-pin IDE1
connector on the system board.
Installing an EIDE Drive
This section includes information on addressing, installing, partitioning, and formatting
EIDE hard-disk drives.
EIDE Drive Addressing
All EIDE devices should be configured for the cable select jumper position, which
assigns master and slave status to devices by their position on the EIDE cable. When
two EIDE devices are connected to a single EIDE cable and are configured for the
cable select jumper position, the device attached to the last connector on the inter-
face cable is the master or boot device (drive 0) and the device attached to the middle
connector on the interface cable is the slave device (drive 1). Refer to the drive docu-
mentation in your upgrade kit for information on setting devices to the cable select
jumper position.
Dell PowerEdge 1300 Systems EIDE Hard-Disk Drive Update1
With the two EIDE interface connectors on the system board, your system can sup-
port up to four EIDE devices. EIDE hard-disk drives should be connected to the EIDE
interface connector labeled “IDE1.” (EIDE tape drives and CD-ROM drives should be
connected to the EIDE interface connector labeled “IDE2.”)
Installing a Drive
To install an EIDE hard-disk drive, perform the following steps:
1.
2.
Complete the steps in “Installing a Hard-Disk Drive in the Internal Hard-Disk
Drive Cage” in your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.
Connect a DC power cable to the power input connector on the back of the drive
(see the following illustration).
Check all connectors to be certain that they are properly cabled and firmly seated.

connector on the back of the hard-disk drive (see the following illustration).
CAUTION: You must match the colored strip on the EIDE cable with pin 1
on the interface connector to avoid possible damage to your system.

Replace the front bezel according to the instructions in “Removing and Replacing
the Front Bezel” in your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.
Replace the computer cover. Then reconnect your computer and peripherals to
their power sources, and turn them on.
NOTE: After you remove and replace the cover, the chassis intrusion detector will
cause the following message to be displayed at the next system start-up:
ALERT! Cover was previously removed.
a bootable diskette (such as the Dell Diagnostics Diskette) into drive A.
NOTES: For more information on performing steps 8 and 9, see the appropriate cate-
gories in “Using the System Setup Program” in your Dell PowerEdge 1300 Systems
User’s Guide.
If a setup password has been assigned by someone else, contact your network
administrator.
8.
9.
Enter the System Setup program, and update the appropriate Drive category
(Drive 0 or Drive 1) under IDE Drives: Primary.
While in the System Setup program, reset the chassis intrusion detector by
changing Chassis Intrusion to Not Detected.
After you update the System Setup settings, reboot the system.

Guide for information on running the diagnostics and troubleshooting any prob-
lems that may occur.
l your operating system on the hard-disk drive.
Refer to the documentation that came with your operating system.
Partitioning and Logically Formatting Your EIDE
Hard-Disk Drive
EIDE hard-disk drives must be physically formatted, partitioned, and logically format-
ted before they can be used to store data. Every hard-disk drive from Dell is physically
formatted before it is sent to you.
NOTE: When using the Microsoft
®
Windows NT
®
operating system with the file allo-
cation table (FAT) 16 file system, the primary partition for each hard-disk drive can be
Dell PowerEdge 1300 Systems EIDE Hard-Disk Drive Update3
no larger than 2 gigabytes (GB). Extended partitions can be larger than 2 GB, but each
logical drive within an extended partition must be no larger than 2GB.
To partition and logically format your hard-disk drive, use the program(s) offered by
your operating system.
System Setup Program Update
The Power Management option in the System Setup program works with most EIDE
hard-disk drives as well as with monitors. For most systems, enabling Power Man-
agement at any level (Maximum, Regular, or Minimum) causes EIDE hard-disk
drives to switch to low-power mode after about 20 minutes of system inactivity.
NOTE: Not all EIDE hard-disk drives support this feature. Enabling this feature for
drives that do not support it may cause the EIDE drive to become inoperable until the
computer is restarted and Power Management is disabled.
In low-power mode, the disks inside the drive stop spinning. They remain idle until the
next drive access, which causes them to start spinning again. (Because the disks take
a few seconds to regain full speed, you may notice a slight delay when you access the
hard-disk drive the next time.)
When Power Management is Disabled (the default), the disks spin constantly as
long as the system is turned on.
