Hawk 2LP Family Installation Guide, Rev. B 33
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Grounding
Signal ground (PCB) and HDA ground are connected
together in the Hawk 2LP family drives and cannot be
separated by the user. The equipment in which the
drive is mounted is connected directly to the HDA and
PCB with no electrically isolating shock mounts. If it is
desired for the system chassis to not be connected to
the HDA/PCB ground, the systems integrator or user
must provide a nonconductive (electrically isolating)
method of mounting the drive in the host equipment.
SCSI interface drives
The SCSI interface handles both drive geometry and
defect management internally. The "no drive installed"
option is selected for systems with SCSI drives.
All SCSI interface drives are low-level formatted at the
factory. You may wish to low-level format the drive to
optimize its performance for your system. Consult the
controller documentation for information on low-level
formatting. Partitioning and high-level formatting can
be done through DOS by way of the FDISK utility for
partitioning, and FORMAT for high-level formatting.
Consult your DOS manual for FORMAT and FDISK
command options.
