DESCRIPTION
CHAPTER 2 DESCRIPTION
This chapter summarizes general functions and key features oftheSpinpoint V40 drive, as well as the
standards and regulations they meet.
2.1 Introduction
The Samsung SpinPoint V40 3.5 inch disk drives are high capacity, high performance random access storage
devices, which use non-removable 3.5-inch disks as storage media. Each disk incorpo rates thin film metallic
media technology for enhanced performance and reliability. And for each disk surface there is a
corresponding movable head actuator assembly to randomly access the data tracks and write or read the user
data. The formatted capacities of the SpinPoint V40 family are 20.0,30.06,40.0,60.0,60.06 and 80.0 gigabytes
of storage. Samsung defines a gigabyte (G B) as one billion bytes.
The SpinPoint V40 drives include the AT controller embedded in the disk drive PCB electronics. The drive's
electrical interface is compatible with all mandatory, optional and vendor-specific commands within the ATA
specification.
Drive size conforms to the industry standard 3.5-inch form factor. The interface connectors are the standard
40-pin for AT Interface and 4-pin for DC power supplies.
The SpinPoint V40 incorporates Advanced GMR (Giant Magneto Resistive) head and Noise Predictive
PRML (Partial Response Maximum Likelihood) signal processing technologies. These advanced
technologies allow for an areal density of over 29.18 gigabits per square inch and storage capacity of over
40.06 gigabytes per disk.
The heads, disk(s), and actuator housing are environmentally sealed within an aluminum-alloy base and
cover. As the disks spin, air circulates within this base and cover, commonly referred to as the head and disk
assembly (HDA), through a non-replaceable absolute filter ensuring a contamination free environment for the
heads and disks throughout the life of the drive.
2.2 Key Features
Key features of the SpinPoint V40 hard disk drives include:
• Formatted capacities are 20.0,30.06, 40.0, 60.0,6 0.06 and 80.0 Gbytes

INSTALLATION
4.7 System Startup Procedure
Once the SpinPoint V40 hard disk drive and along with the adapter board (if required) have been installed in
your system, the drive can now be partitioned and formatted for operation. To set up the drive correctly,
follow these instructions:
1. Power on the system.
2. Typically the system will detect a configuration change automatically. If so, then jump to step 6.
3. If installing 80GB SpinPoint SV8004H model and the system hangs during boot up, follow the
instructions in section “4.7.1 Drive Installation to Access the Full Capacity Using 32GB Clip”.
4. If the system does not hang but does not automatically detect the drive either during reboot, run the setup
program of the system. Setup program is usually on a diagnostics or utility disk, or in the system BIOS.
Refer to the manual of your system for this operation. Once you get into setup program then follow step
5.
5. Perform one of the following steps that applies to your system:
I. Select “Auto Detect” if it is supported.
II. When using “User Defined” type, enter the appropriate parameters for the installed drive,
according to Table 4-2.
III. When using “Pre-Defined” type, select any drive type that does not exceed the maximum capacity
of the drive. Table 4-2 shoes the logical parameters that provide the maximum capacity of
SpinPoint V40 family drives.
6. If the system recognizes the drive but experiences problems on properly handling the full capacity of the
drive, run Disk Manager utility program provided by Samsung and follow the instructions. The Disk
Manager utility program is availabl e from Samsung on a floppy diskette, or downloadable from the
Samsung website at www.samsunghdd.com

•Windows 95 or 98 that use FAT16 file system will limit the drive’s logical partition at 2.1GB per
logical drive. Windows95 OSR2 or later allow for the FAT32 file system which provides access to
greater than 2GBof logical capacity.
•A low-level format is not required, as this was done at the factory before shipment.
4.7.1 Drive Installation to Access the Full Capacity Using 32GB Clip
A system hang condition is identified when the installation of a hard disk drive larger than 32GB is attempted
into a PC system that incorporates specific older BIOS’. This issue is caused by the older BIOS’ inability to
support the full capacity of the hard disk drive, not by the SpinPoint V40 hard disk drive.
One solution to this issue, is to contact the system or motherboard manufacturer and upgrade the BIOS (to
enable the system to access the full capacity of the hard disk drive).
As an alternative solution, the drive can be installed by using a 32GB clip jumper on the SpinPoint V40 hard
disk drive, along with the Disk Manager utility program. To set up the drive using 32GB clip, follow the
instructions provided below:
1. Install a 32 GB clip jumper (see section 4.5).
2. Boot up the system, enter SYSTEM SETUP, change the settings for the drive to “Auto”, and exit
SYSTEM SETUP.
NOTE: At this point in the installation, the drive capacity is limited to 32GB. No further steps are
needed if the drive is intended to be used as 32 gigabytes.
3. To access the full capacity, reboot the system with the Disk Manager diskette. Disk Manager will install
Dynamic Drive Overlay on the drive. The Dynamic Drive Overlay will take control of the drive from
the BIOS each time the system is booted, and enable access to the entire capacity of the drive.
4. Select “Easy Disk Installation”
5. Select drive to be installed (master or slave)
6. Select the operating system (Win95 OSR2, 98, 98SE, Me, 2000, or NT)
7. Follow the instruction to format drive
NOTE;
Microsoft identified a 32GB capacity limitation issue with the Windows 95 operating system. The solutions
provided above do not overcome the capacity limitation of the Windows 95 operating system. Microsoft
recommends that Windows 95 customers who want to use media larger than 32GB, upgrade to Microsoft
Windows 98 or Microsoft Windows NT. For more information, please check Microsoft Knowledgebase.
