Installing the Disk

The next step in the reassembly of the computer is to install the disk drives. This involves mounting the drives in the case and connecting the drive cables to the adapters. 

Click the check box next to Disk Tools. Doing so will tell the Windows 95 Setup program that you want to install the disk tools (including Backup). 

If you have already installed the disk drives and now need to configure unused space on your drive for use, you will need to use the FDISK command. 

Rupture Disks A rupture disk is a device designed to function by the bursting of a pressure-retaining disk (Fig. 26-15). This assembly consists of a thin, circular membrane usually made of metal, plastic, or graphite that is firmly clamped in a disk holder. When the process reaches the bursting pressure of the disk, the disk ruptures and releases the pressure. Rupture disks can be installed alone or in combination with other types of devices. Once blown, rupture disks do not reseat thus, the entire contents of the upstream process equipment will be vented. Rupture disks are commonly used in series (upstream) with a relief valve to prevent corrosive fluids from contacting the metal parts of the valve. In addition, this combination is a reclosing system. 

Install Disk with Pressure Membrone up. When inverted, the Disk Bursts ot obout 65% Increase in Pressure. Disk Must be Positioned True Center of Vent Line ond Nozzle. If Eccentric, Burst Characteristics Might Not Hold True. 

Application of rupture disk devices to liquid service should be carefully evaluated to assure that the design of the rupture disk device and the dynamic energy of tlie system on which it is installed will result in sufficient opening of the disk. 

For the usual installation, the rupture disk is installed as a single item between special flanges which hold the... 

For pipelines, bursting disks have been proven practical, especially when equipped tvith a sensor to pick up the explosion and a detonator to rupture the disks in advance of the pressure wave. The installation of a moveable... 

On the disk labelled WINDOWS VERSION you will find the programs INSTALL.EXE, CHAOS.EXE and CHAOSBAS.EXE. You must have Windows already in your computer. Once you have started up the computer and inserted the WINDOWS VERSION disk, from the symbol "DOS Prompt" type WIN A INSTALL and press "Enter" ... 

Several parts have been created for Oread Capture to make this text easier for students to use. In order to have your circuits look like those shown in this manual, you must install the libraries specific to this text. This section shows how to install those libraries. This installation will do two things (1) It will install the parts libraries used in this text. (2) It will copy all circuit files used as examples in this text onto your hard disk so that you can look at and run the example files. The libraries will be copied to the standard library subdirectory. The circuit files will be copied to a directory named Book Circuits in the installation directory. 

If you have installed the NMR data on your hard disk, assume that your CD-ROM disk (denoted E ) is now a NFS mounted remote disk. Start the 1D WINNMR program and from the File pull-down menu choose the Open option to read in a ID NMR data file in the UXNMR/XWINNMR format. The Open dialog box appears on the screen. Select the directory E NMRDATA FORMAT XWINNMR 1 D H HUX on your CD-ROM disk, and mark the... 

The installed software package also contains the AMDIS libraries onsite.cls and onsite.isl for calibration, test, and internal standard compounds (see Section 2.2). After software installation the hard disks are assigned to a particular GC/MS system. Since each instrument (defined by serial number) may be combined with any of the 5 electronic modules, 12 GC modules and 10 injector modules in possession of OPCW the actual instrument configuration needs to be defined. This is achieved by installing configuration files for the... 

Because each machine is different, we ll just talk in general terms. Once you have the disks installed, you enter the setup program, go to the Eixed Disk area, and enter the appropriate numbers for the number of cylinders, heads, and sectors that the drives have. You then save these values and reboot the machine. At this point, the system should recognize that there is at least one drive in the system. 

As we have already mentioned, one of MCA s strengths is that you can use software to configure it. Installing an expansion card in an MCA slot still involves the same concepts as installing an ISA card. You must configure the card to use an available IRQ, DMA channel, memory address, and FO ports. To configure the options on these cards, you must use a Reference disk and an option diskette after installing the device into the computer physically. 

Once you have a new device ready to be installed, you shut down the computer and install the board into the slot. Then, you boot the computer to the Reference disk. From the Main menu, select the option to configure the installed boards, then choose the slot number of the board you wish to configure. Because this is a new board, you will be prompted to insert an option diskette with the configuration files on it. This is where you insert the option diskette that came with the card. The files particular to the new device will be copied to the Reference disk so that the next time you need to change its settings, the files will already be on the Reference disk. 

Besides addressing resources, there is one other resource you need to make sure is available physical space. There must be adequate space in the computer for the device you are installing. If you are installing a disk drive, there must be an open disk bay available. If you are installing an expansion card (for example, a sound card), you must make sure that you have an open slot available. Also, in the case of computers that use multiple bus types (ISA/PCI for example), the available slot must be of the same type as the card being installed. 

Many operating systems come with default drivers for numerous peripherals. Windows 95/98, for example, might automatically install a driver from its own CD-ROM. Do not assume that since it came with the operating system it must be the best driver. The drivers on the operating system CD-ROM are often out of date Check the disks that came with the device or the manufacture s Web site for the latest drivers.
