The Easiest Way to Install Your Drive

DiscWizard

is Seagate’s exclusive Windows program that is included with

your drive for easy drive installation. You can use this software if you
already have a bootable hard drive in your computer and you are running
Windows 98 or Windows 95.

Run DiscWizard

before installing your drive for customized step-by-step

instructions for your system.

To run DiscWizard:

Select Run from the Windows Start menu and type

x:\setup, where x is

the drive letter of your diskette or CD-ROM.

If you cannot run DiscWizard, follow the instructions on this installation
sheet to install and configure your drive.

What You Need

Phillips screwdriver and four 6-32 UNC drive mounting screws

A standard 40-pin ATA interface cable,

or an 80-conductor cable to run

Ultra ATA 66 (max length: 18 inches)

An unused drive power cable for your new drive

Ultra ATA/66 Requirements

The drive can support transfer rates up to 66 Mbytes per second in Ultra
ATA/66 mode. For your drive to run in this mode you need the following:

A computer that supports UDMA modes 3 and 4

A 40-pin 80-conductor cable (available from your dealer)

A software utility to activate Ultra ATA/66. Seagate provides a utility called

UATA66.exe that is included on your CD, or you can download it from our
Web site at www.seagate.com.

Handling Precautions

Disc drives are extremely fragile.

Do not drop or jar the drive.

Keep the drive in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.

Protect your drive from static discharge by wearing a grounded

wrist strap throughout the installation process.

Always handle the drive by the edges or frame.

Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit board or the

top of the drive.

Setting the Jumpers

Refer to the jumper settings below to configure the drive for your system.

compatible slave

Master or single-drive

Master or single-drive: The drive is shipped configured for a master

or a single-drive with a jumper set on pins 7 and 8.

Drive is slave: To configure the drive as a slave, or second drive on

the cable, remove all the jumpers.

Master with non-ATA compatible slave: Use this setting if the slave

drive is not recognized. Configure the master drive with a jumper set on
pins 5 and 6 and pins 7 and 8 to enable this option.

Alternate capacity jumper: Use this jumper

only if your system

cannot recognize drives with capacities greater than 2.1 Gbytes.

Attaching Cables and Mounting the Drive

1. Attach one end of the drive interface cable to the interface connector

on your computer’s motherboard

(see your computer manual for

connector locations).

!

Caution. Align pin 1 on the motherboard connector with pin 1 on

your drive connector. Pin 1 is marked by a stripe on one side of the
cable.

Note. If you are using a 40-pin 80-conductor

cable, attach the

blue connector to the

motherboard, the

Note. You can mount the drive in any orientation. Usually it is mounted

with the circuit board down.

3. Secure the drive in the computer using four 6-32 UNC mounting

screws in either the side-mounting or bottom-mounting holes. Insert
the screws no more than 0.22 inch (5.58 mm) into the bottom-mounting
holes and no more than 0.20 inch (5.0 mm) into the side-mounting
holes.

!

Caution. Do not overtighten the screws or use metric screws. This

may damage the drive.

Configuring the BIOS

For your computer to recognize your new drive, configure your
computer’s BIOS as follows:

1. Run the system setup program.

2. Enable LBA mode and UDMA mode, if available.

3. Select the auto-detect option. If this is not available, select “User-

defined drive type” and enter the CHS (cylinder, head, sectors)
parameters for your drive from the table listed below.

4. Save and exit the system setup program.
