To install a disk drive or to connect the Desktop Disk Pack to your desktop system, you will need:
You can install the 2.1 Gbyte disk drive into the SPARCstation` 2 system, SPARCstation 10 system, SBus Expansion Subsystem, Desktop Disk Pack, or Multi-Disk Pack.
If you are installing the disk drive(s) into a peripheral unit (such as the Desktop Disk Pack, Multi-Disk Pack, or SBus Expansion Subsystem), you may need to install an SBus card with a SCSI Host Adapter port on it into your computer system. This is required if the SCSI bus (cable) length exceeds 6 meters (20 feet) or if all of the SCSI target IDs are already assigned.
Installing an SBus card with a SCSI Host Adapter port on it will give you another SCSI bus to connect the peripheral to. To determine the assigned SCSI target addresses, see the section "Determining Assigned SCSI Addresses" later in this chapter.
Table 1-1 explains the transfer rate of the built-in SCSI host adapter and the SBus cards you can install into your computer system or expansion unit.

You must be running Solaris 1.1 (SunOS 4.1.3), a later Solaris 1.x operating system release, Solaris 2.1 (SunOS 5.1), or a later release of the Solaris 2.x operating system. Only these operating system releases support this disk drive.
There are different SCSI addressing rules for the Solaris 1.1 and Solaris 2.1 operating systems.
If you have internal or external SCSI devices connected to your system, complete the following steps to determine SCSI addresses of those SCSI devices.
If you do not have SCSI devices connected to your computer system, go to the section "Unpacking the Disk Drive" at the end of this chapter.
To determine assigned SCSI addresses:
Type the following at the operating system prompt.
--------------
% uname -rs SunOS 4.1.3 --------------
Go to the appropriate handbook for your operating system.
See the section about shutting down the system in the chapter about disks. When the system is shut down, return to this section.
Note - Do not turn the power switch off on the computer system.
If you see the ok prompt instead, go to step 4.
The ok prompt is returned.

> n ok ------
The operating system will boot (if autoboot is enabled).
--------------------------------------------------
ok reset Operating system will boot (if autoboot enabled) --------------------------------------------------
Press the L1(STOP)-a keys simultaneously. You will see the ok prompt.
------------------------------------------
ok reset System reboots (if autoboot is enabled) Testing Press L1(Stop)-a keys simultaneously ok ------------------------------------------
To determine the SCSI addresses assigned to the built-in SCSI port:
----------------------------------------------------------
ok probe-scsi Target 3 Unit 0 Disk <Manufacturer information.......'> Target 4 Unit 0 Removable Tape <Manufacturer information.......'> Target 6 Unit 0 Removable Read Only Device <Manufacturer information......'> ----------------------------------------------------------
The probe-scsi command returns the SCSI targets (SCSI addresses) and their unit number assigned by the system. The unit number refers to the SCSI logical device number.
You will use these SCSI addresses when you install and configure the unit.
Go to the chapter describing disk drive installation for your platform.
To determine the SCSI addresses of all SCSI buses (all SCSI ports either built into the system or SBus cards with a SCSI host adapter port):
---------------------------------
ok .version Release 2.6 Version ......... ---------------------------------
The .version command returns the release of the boot PROM in your system.
If you have boot PROM release 2.6 or later:
Refer to Code Example 1-1.
----------------------------------------------------------------
ok probe-scsi-all /iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000/esp@3,200000 Target 6 Unit 0 Removable Read Only device <Manufacturer information.......'> /iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000/dma@1,81000/esp@1,80000 Target 2 Unit 0 Disk <Manufacturer information.......'> /iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000/espdma@f,400000/esp@f,800000 Target 1 Unit 0 Disk <Manufacturer information.......'> Target 3 Unit 0 Disk <Manufacturer information.......'> ok Code Example 1-1 Example of the probe-scsi-all Command ----------------------------------------------------------------
The probe-scsi-all command returns the SCSI targets (SCSI addresses) assigned to each SCSI device for every SCSI host adapter port (SCSI bus) and the unit number. The unit number refers to the SCSI logical device number.
Each SCSI host adapter port returned by the probe-scsi-all command (refer to Code Example 1-1) is identified by a unique system hardware path name. In this example:
/iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000/esp@3,200000
In the first listing, ending with esp@3,200000:
3 Refers to the physical SBus slot number in which the SBus card is installed. 200000 Refers to the device address offset. Target 6 Refers to the SCSI target (SCSI address) the CD-ROM drive (removable read only device) is set to.
In the second listing, ending with esp@1,80000:
1 Refers to the physical SBus slot number in which the SBus card is installed. 80000 Refers to the device address offset. Target 2 Refers to the SCSI target (SCSI address) the disk drive is set to.
In the last listing, ending with espdma@f,400000/esp@f,800000:
f Means that the SCSI host adapter port is built into the computer system. This may vary from system to system. 400000 Refers to the device address offset. Target 3 Refers to the SCSI target (SCSI address) an internal disk drive is set to. Target 1 Refers to the SCSI target (SCSI address) an internal disk drive is set to.
You will use this information when you configure and install the unit in Chapter 2.
Go to the chapter describing disk drive installation for your platform.
If you have boot PROM release of at least 2.0 but lower than 2.6:
You'll see a listing something like this.

In the dma@1,81000 listing:
1 Refers to the physical SBus slot number the SBus card containing the SCSI host adapter port (FSBE/S SBus card in this example) is installed in. 81000 Refers to the device address offset.
In the esp@3,200000 listing:
3 Refers to the physical SBus slot number the SBus card containing the SCSI host adapter port (SBus SCSI Host Adapter card in this example) is installed in. 200000 Refers to the device address offset.
In the espdma@f,400000 listing:
f Means that the SCSI host adapter port is built into the computer system. This may vary from system to system. 400000 Refers to the device address offset.
See Code Examples 1-3 and 1-4.
Code example 1-3 shows selecting an FSBE/S or SBE/S SBus card in SBus slot
