1 Before You Start





Collect These Items

To install an internal drive, you will need the following tools, software release, and materials:

Identifying the UNIX Version of Your System

Determine which version of the operating system you are running. For example, for either the Solaris 1.x (SunOS 4.x) or Solaris 2.x systems, enter:

uname -rs

Prior versions of these operating systems do not support this hard disk drive.

Backing up Your System

If you are replacing either a system or a data disk, you need to back up your system. Refer to the system administration manual that was shipped with your system unit or operating system.

Shutting Down the System

Before turning off the system power, you must halt the operating system:

    1. Go to the handbook appropriate for your operating system.
    2. See the section about shutting down the system, then return to this manual after you perform this procedure.

Caution -

Halt the system in an orderly manner. When the operating system or any other stand-alone program has already booted, do not use the STOP-A (L1-A) keys to halt the system. Abruptly aborting execution of the program may cause damage to data files.
