EFORE YOU BEGIN

Caution. Do

not

format this drive without first transferring the free Disk Manager software that is stored on the drive. See the instructions below for details.

• Make sure your computer is turned off before you open the case.

• Read the handling precautions at the right and inspect the drive to make sure that it is not damaged.

• Save your foam-lined Seagate disc drive shipping container. This box has been approved by Seagate for shipping a Seagate disc drive. Using any other container or packing material voids your drive warranty.

TTACHING CABLES AND MOUNTING THE DRIVE

1 If you are installing a new AT A interface cable, attach one

end of the cable to the interface connector on your computer or host adapter. The A T A cable must be no more than 18 inches long.

2 Thread the interface cable through the drive bay and attach

the connector at the end of the interface cable to your new drive. If you have two drives, attach the second drive to the second connector.

Pin 1

Caution. Make sure to align pin 1 on the com-

puter or host adapter interface connector with pin 1 on your drive or drives. Pin 1 on the interface cable is usually indicated by a stripe along the edge of the cable.

HAT YOU NEED

• Straight-edge and Phillips screwdrivers

• Drive mounting screws

• An ATA host adapter and interface cable (max. length: 18 inches) with enough connectors for all your drives

• An unused drive power cable for your new drive

• A bootable DOS system diskette (Seagate recommends using DOS Version 5.0 or later.)

• A blank 1.2-Mbyte or 1.4-Mbyte diskette to store the Disk Manager software after you unload it from the drive

• If you are mounting this 3.5-inch drive in a 5.25-inch drive bay, you need a mounting adapter or frame kit.

• If your computer’s drive bay is not designed for direct mounting, you may need to attach drive-mounting rails to the sides of the drive or frame kit.

3 Slide the drive carefully into the drive bay. Secure the drive

with four 6-32 x 0.25 mounting screws in either the sidemounting holes or the bottom-mounting holes. Do not overtighten the screws.The screws should not be inserted more than one-quarter (0.25) inch into the mounting holes. Do not use metric screws.

Note. To mount the drive in a 5.25-inch drive bay, you need a mounting adapter or frame kit. Contact your computer dealer. Some computers require drive mounting rails, which can be obtained from your distributor or computer manufacturer.

ANDLE WITH CARE

Disc drives are extremely fragile. Do not drop or jar your drive.

Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit board or the top of the drive.

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

Protect your computer and drive from static discharge by making sure you are well grounded before touching any electronic components. We recommend wearing a wrist strap throughout the installation process.

If your BIOS does not provide automatic drive detection, select “User-defined” drive settings. If your computer supports LBA addressing, enter the LBA cylinder, head and sector values for your drive from the table at the top of the next column. If your computer does not support LBA addressing, enter the CHS values from the table.

TANDARD

Drive Partitioning

Partitioning a hard drive divides it into sections (partitions) that behave as separate logical drives (labeled C, D, E, etc.).

In creating partitions, keep in mind that the larger the partition, the more drive space is taken up in unused clusters. For this reason, if most of your files are smaller than 50 Kbytes, you should use partitions of 1 Gbyte or less. To partition your new drive:

1 Insert a bootable DOS diskette in your diskette drive and

restart your computer.

2 Insert a DOS program diskette that contains the FDISK.EXE

and FORMAT .COM programs into your diskette drive. At the A: prompt, type FDISK and press

3 If you have two hard drives installed, the FDISK menu

displays five options. Option five allows you to select the drive you want to partition. Make sure that your new drive is selected.

4 Press 1 to select “Create DOS partition or logical DOS

drive.” Then press

DDITIONAL INSTALLATION OPTIONS

Cable Select Jumper

Some computers differentiate between master and slave drives using specially designed interface cables that have the line to pin 28 (the Cable Select pin) removed or cut at one connector. The connector that has pin 28 disabled is the slave drive. See your computer manual to determine whether your computer supports this feature. To configure your Seagate drive for cable select, place a jumper as shown in the illustration below.

DVANCED DISK MANAGER OPTIONS

The Disk Manager Online Manual

Disk Manager contains an extensive online manual. This manual includes detailed installation instructions, troubleshooting and a list of master/ slave jumper settings for many popular hard drives. To view the Disk Manager online manual, insert the Disk Manager diskette into drive A and type A:\DM /H. Then press from within Disk Manager by selecting main menu.

Booting from a Diskette

If Disk Manager installs the dynamic drive overlay (DDO) to access the full capacity of your drive, the DDO must load into memory before the operating system loads. This occurs automatically when you boot from your hard drive (drive C). However, if you boot from a diskette, the DDO will not be loaded and you will not be able to access your hard drive. The following procedure allows you to boot from a diskette and still access your hard drive.

Boot the computer from the hard disc (with no diskette in the diskette drive).

When the Disk Manager banner appears on the screen, immediately press the

3 Insert your boot diskette and press the If you boot from a diskette regularly, you can create a Dynamic Drive

Overlay boot diskette. It loads DDO into memory, then loads the operating system. See the Disk Manager online manual for more information about creating a dynamic drive overlay boot diskette.

Supported Operating Systems

The Disk Manager dynamic drive overlay provides support for drives with capacities greater than 528 Mbytes under MS-DOS, Windows 3. Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51, Window NT 3.50 (requires DM upgrade drivers), OS/2 V3.0 (Warp full pack), and OS/2 V2.0–3.0 (requires DM upgrade drivers).

Before you install a non-DOS operating system on the drive, install DOS and Disk Manager and make sure that the drive is bootable. Instructions for running the dynamic drive overlay with other operating systems are available in the Disk Manager online manual.

Removing the Dynamic Drive Overlay

If Disk Manager installs a dynamic drive overlay (DDO) and you do not need this software to access the full capacity of your drive, you can remove the dynamic drive overlay without losing your data. However, you will lose access to the full capacity of your drive unless you have another method for accessing high-capacity drives. Follow the instructions below to remove a DDO from a drive.

Caution. Before you attempt to remove a DDO,

back up the data on your hard disc. Also, run CHKDSK, SCANDISK or a third-party equivalent to detect and repair any damaged files before you follow the procedure below. If the DDO migration program encounters a serious file problem or is interrupted by a power loss or hardware failure, the migration will fail and your data will be lost.

ROUBLESHOOTING

Basic Troubleshooting

If you have installed your drive and it does not function properly, perform the following basic checks:

Warning. Always turn off the computer before changing jumpers or unplugging cables and cards. Wear a ground strap or take other antistatic precautions when working on your computer or handling electronic components.

Verify compatibility. Verify that the host adapter and the drive are

•

appropriately matched to each other and to your computer. Refer to the relevant documentation for details.

Check all cards. Verify that all cards are seated in their slots on the

•

motherboard and are secured with mounting screws. Check all connectors and cables. Make sure all ribbon and power

•

cables are securely connected. Ribbon cables are easily damaged, especially at the connector. Try a new cable that is known to be good. Make sure that no connector pins are bent. Verify that pin 1 on the interface cable is aligned with pin 1 on the drive and host adapter (see the figures and instructions on the front of this sheet).

Verify jumper settings. Review the instructions on this sheet and in

•

your host adapter installation guide (if any). Make sure that all appropriate jumpers are installed or removed as necessary.

Check your power-supply specifications. Each time you add a new

•

device to your computer, make sure that your computer’s internal power supply can support the total power demand. If necessary, consult your dealer for a new power supply.

Verify the drive-type settings in the system setup program. The

•

drive-type settings in the system BIOS must not exceed the physical specifications of your drive. Also, the settings must not exceed the limitations set by the operating system and BIOS.

Check for viruses. Before you use someone else’s diskette in your

•

system for the first time, scan the diskette for viruses.

Advanced Troubleshooting

If you have performed the preceding basic checks but the problem persists, follow these guidelines for troubleshooting specific cases:

The screen remains blank when you power up the system.

Make sure the monitor is plugged in and turned on.

•

Check all cards.

•

Make sure the video card is seated in its slot and secured with

•

mounting screws. Turn off the computer and remove the drive host adapter. If the

•

screen turns on after you reboot, the host adapter may be incompatible or defective. If so, see your dealer.

The system does not recognize the drive.

Check all cables.

•

Make sure the power supply is adequate for system needs.

•

Reboot the computer and listen to make sure the drive motor starts

simultaneously. If the drive is recognized after you reboot the system, the computer BIOS test may have completed before the drive was ready.

One solution is to slow the processor speed during startup. If your computer has a turbo switch, set it to slow speed before turning the computer on. If there is no turbo switch, you may be able to use keyboard commands; see your computer manual for details. After the computer is up and running, return the processor to the fast speed. Another solution is to warm-boot your computer after every power-on.

Check for I/O address conflicts. To isolate the conflict, verify that the

•

drive and host adapter are compatible with your computer. Turn off the computer and remove all the peripheral adapter cards except for the video card and host adapter. If the computer recognizes the drive when you reboot the computer, turn off the computer. Reinstall the other peripheral cards, one at a time, until the conflict recurs. After you have isolated the source of the address conflict, you can resolve the conflict by changing the I/O address of the peripheral that appears to cause the conflict.

If Disk Manager has installed the DDO on your hard drive and you

•

have booted directly from a diskette, the information in the boot record for the drive may not have been loaded. Make sure there is no diskette in Drive A and reboot. If you want to boot from the diskette, follow the “Booting from a Diskette” instructions under “Advanced Disk Manager Options.”

The dealer partitioned and formatted the drive for you in the store, but the drive does not respond when you install it.

Reboot the computer and make sure the drive spins up. Check all

If you already have one hard drive in your computer and you are installing a second drive, you must configure one drive as a master and the other as a slave. The master drive will be the “boot” drive (drive C), from which the computer loads system software when it first starts up. T o configure your new Seagate drive as the master , place a jumper on pins 5 and 6 (see below). T o configure the drive as a slave, remove all jumpers. If you need to change the jumpers on your existing hard drive, see the Disk Manager online manual, or contact the drive manufacturer for master/slave jumper settings.

Caution. Do transferring the free Disk Manager software that is stored on the drive. See the instructions below for details.

• Make sure your computer is turned off before you open the case.

• Read the handling precautions at the right and inspect the drive to make sure that it is not damaged.
