Manually parked by excuting a small program via floppy disk or
copied to the hard drive. Very often supplied by IBM years ago and
now you should able to find them on download sites.
If you find one that has ASCII version that looks like big red switch
flicked down from ON position, that's it.
Also you could carefully park a HD by hand but that's risky.
