10. Format the hard drive using the MS-DOS FORMAT command. Enter
FORMAT D:
IMPORTANT: When formatting an IDE drive that will be used as a bootable
drive, add the /S switch to the FORMAT command so that you
can use the C/D drive selection switch. Enter
FORMAT D:/S
11. If the C/D switch on the vertical circuit board is enabled (the
default), set the C/D drive selection switch to operate the hard drive
in the expansion base as logical drive C or D. (The default position is
D.)
12. Turn the system off with the power switch, then on again to integrate
the new information.
13. If the computer does not automatically reconfigure the system when you
turn it on, run Computer Setup (Section 6.7).
14. Run Computer Checkup to ensure that the drive is working properly
(Section 2.3).
C.2 Setting The Configuration Switches
The configuration switches on the Compaq SmartStation vertical circuit
board (Figure C-1) must be set when a diskette drive, tape drive, or IDE
hard drive is installed in the expansion base. The six configuration
switches are accessible when the bottom cover is removed. However, you may
have to remove optional expansion boards to gain access.
