If your DEC 3000 system has factory­
installed drives, check the SCSI ID settings
on the drives you are upgrading. 

To find out the SCSI ID settings on your
VAXstation drives, enter these commands:

·	To shut down your system software:         
$ SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN

·	To show the drives and their SCSI ID
settings: >> SHOW CONFIG

A screen similar to this will display:

















Write your system drive names and SCSI ID
settings here:

Check the SCSI ID Settings      









	


1.	Turn off the VAXstation system unit by        

	pressing O on the On/Off switch.

Caution:  After you turn off the system,       
                 wait 15 seconds before 
                 unplugging the power cord.

2. 	Unplug all the cables.

3. 	To open the cover, press firmly on                

	the latches located on the side of the            
	system unit.

·	Push the latches in and up until the cover
releases.

·	Pull the cover up and off.          
















 
Caution:  You may damage the equipment                    
                  if you do not wear an antistatic                      
                  wrist strap when working  inside                   
                  the system unit.

Turn Off/Open the VAXstation









	


Your VAXstation may have an RZ23L or an
RZ24L fixed disk drive installed.

4.	Locate the small metal clip attached to         

	the disk mounting bracket.

·	Push in on the metal clip to unlock the
bracket, then slide the drive away from
the power supply.

·	Remove the drive from the system unit.

·	Disconnect the SCSI and power cable
connectors from the drive.

5.	Remove the drive bracket and clip by           

	using a Phillips screwdriver to remove          
	the  rubber feet.

You need change a SCSI ID setting only if
two or more drives have the same setting. 

Check the SCSI ID setting for the VAXsta­
tion drives, which you noted previously. If
you need to change a SCSI ID on a drive
that is not covered here, see the DEC 3000
Model 300/300L AXP System Hardware
Reference Guide.

If you are upgrading an RZ23L or RZ24L
drive from a VLC to a DEC 3000 300/300L,
you must put the drive into either of the
brackets included in your accessory kit.

·	Stand the bracket on its side with the
sliding latch up. Place the drive in the
bracket with the connectors facing you,
as shown below.

·	Attach the two screws on each side of
the drive bracket.
