The easiest way to install your S1 Series drive

Many of today’s consumer products, like cameras, notebook computers, MP3 players, printers and more have been designed to make it possible for the end user to use compact flash interface devices. Your Seagate S1 Series drive is designed for such use. Refer to your product’s user manual for the location of the compact flash media compartment and the specific instructions regarding insertion and removal of removable media devices like the ST650211CF and ST625211CF models. Your product’s manufacturer’s support website will have the most up-to-date information. Read and follow all instructions regarding the proper steps to be taken when using your Seagate S1 Series disc drive.

The Seagate S1 Series Flex interface disc drive models, ST650211FX and ST625211FX, are designed for embedded installation, or as a fixed storage solution. Follow the installation instructions provided on this instruction sheet. Your product’s manufacturer’s support website will have the most up-to-date information on installing and removing storage devices. Read and follow all instructions regarding the proper steps to be taken when using your Seagate S1 Series disc drive. It is important to follow the handling precautions and electrostatic discharge protection information below when handling any electronic device. It is always a good idea to back up all your data before installing any new hardware in your computer.

Handling precautions/electrostatic discharge protection

• S1 Series disc drives are fragile. Do not drop or jar the drive. Handle the drive only by the edges or by the finger grip area shown in Figure 1. Keep the device in the packaging until you are ready to install it and between uses to minimize handling damage.

• It may be necessary to turn off the power to the host product during installation. Refer to your product’s user manual for details regarding installation and removal of media devices.

• Do not disassemble the drive. Doing so voids the warranty. See the warranty information on page 2.

• Do not expose the drive to extreme temperatures or humidity conditions.

• Do not apply pressure, write on, or attach labels to the top or bottom of the drive.

• Do not cover or otherwise obstruct the breather hole on the top of the drive. (See Figure 2 and Figure 3)

• Keep the drive away from strong magnetic fields to avoid data loss.

Installing your S1 Series CompactFlash model disc drive

Each product, which utilizes CompactFlash storage devices, has its own unique removable media compartment. Refer to the product’s user manual to locate the media compartment and for instructions on removing and installing media devices.

Installing your S1 Series Flex interface model disc drive

Follow installation instructions for media devices provided in your product’s user manual to determine if your Seagate S1 Series disc drive is compatible. See Figure 3 for drive dimensions. Follow all handling precautions/ electrostatic discharge protection suggestions when installing any drive.

Follow the precaution when installing and removing your S1 Series Flex interface disc drive:

• Drive electronics are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Caution should be exercised when handling any electronic device. Wear an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) ground strap when integrating the flex cable into host systems. Improper handling may cause ESD damage to the S1 Series disc drive’s electronics.

• Do not bend the cable sharply as this may cause the electrical traces to be broken. See Figure 4.

• When the drive is powered on, do not physically remove the flex cable from the host connector. Power down the system first before removing the drive.

Troubleshooting

If your drive is not working properly, these troubleshooting tips may help solve the problem.

1. Does the drive spin up? A spinning drive produces a faint whine and

clicking noise. If your drive does not spin, check that the power connector and interface cable are securely attached.

2. Does the computer recognize the drive? Verify that the drive is

enabled in the system CMOS or setup program. If not, select the auto detect option and enable it. If your drive has a problem, it may not be recognized by the system. If the operating system does not recognize the drive, you need to load your host adapter drivers.

3. Does FDISK detect the drive? Run the FDISK program located on

your Windows startup diskette. Type fdisk/status to verify that your hard drive is present and recognized by the system.

4. I’m running Windows 98 and FDISK is not reporting the full

capacity of my drive. Why? You need to upgrade your version of FDISK if you are using the diskettes or CD that came with your original Windows 95 or 98 operating system. Microsoft provides a free downloadable FDISK upgrade. See Microsoft Knowledgebase article number: 263044 located at http://support.microsoft.com

5. Does ScanDisk find the drive defect-free? ScanDisk is a utility

located on your Windows startup diskette that scans the drive for defects. If defects are detected, this may be an indication of a problem.

6. Why does my computer hang on startup? Verify that your system is

ATA compatible. You need either an ATA-compatible motherboard connector or ATA host adapter to use this drive.

Note. If these tips do not answer your question or solve the problem, con-

tact your dealer or visit http://seatools.sea SeaTools™ disc diagnostics software and more troubleshooting advice.
