Quick installation procedure

Note: Back up all data before installing drive!

1.Turn off the computer.

2.Remove the computer cover as instructed by the computer system manual.

3.Discharge static electricity (see Handling precautions).

4.Unplug the computer.

5.Note the mounting position of existing drives and cables. If you are replacing a drive or any cable, remove it now.

6.Remove the drive from the ESD bag.

7.Record the model, the part number, and the serial number of the drive for future reference.

8.Insert the required jumpers. Refer to the jumper block diagram below.

•If the drive is the only drive on a cable or the master drive on a two-drive cable, leave the jumpers as set at A-B and G-H for 16 head logical architecture. The jumpers are factoryset to Master-16 heads.

•If the drive is the slave drive on a two-drive cable, set the jumpers at A-B and C-D for 16head logical architecture.

9.Attach the IDE cable.

•If you have a 40-pin 40-conductor cable, attach the system connector of the cable to the IDE port on the motherboard or controller card. The pin 1 side of the IDE cable is marked with a stripe. The connector can only be inserted one way.

•If you have a 40-pin 80-conductor cable, attach the drive to the appropriate colorcoded connector. Forty-pin 80-conductor cables are color-coded black for Master, gray for Slave, and blue for system connectors.

10.Attach the power supply cable to the drive. Match the connector bevels.

11.Mount the drive securely.

12.Verify all attachments.

13.Replace the computer cover.

14.Plug in the computer.

15.Power on your system, Insert your operating system setup disc or diskette and reboot your system.

16.Verify that the hard disk is recognized by the BIOS and is reporting the full capacity of the drive. Instructions for accessing your BIOS can be found in the computer system manual or in the motherboard manufacturer documentation. If the drive is not recognized in the BIOS, set the BIOS options of your computer system to Auto Detection and LBA mode if available. Once the drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS, it is ready to be partitioned and formatted.
