Serial ATA (SATA) Interface Disc Drives

Publication Number: 100270027, Rev. B, March 2003

Serial ATA interface disc drives are designed for easy installation. It is not
necessary to set any jumpers, terminators, or other settings on this drive
for proper operation. The jumper block adjacent to the SATA interface con­nector is for factory use only.

With a Serial ATA interface, each disc drive has its own cable that connects
directly to a Serial ATA host adapter or a Serial ATA port on your mother­board. Unlike Parallel ATA, there is no master-slave relationship between
drives that use a Serial ATA interface.

You can use a Serial ATA drive in the same system with Parallel ATA drives
as long as both interfaces are supported on the motherboard or with a host
adapter. This makes it easy to add Serial ATA copability to your existing
system without removing existing Parallel ATA disc drives.

The easiest way to install your drive

To successfully install and obtain the maximum capacity from the drive,
use DiscWizard
available exclusively from Seagate
installation software from our web site at www.sea
the program directly from your web browser. In either case, you should run

DiscWizard before you install your drive.
Note. Older versions of DiscWizard do not recognize Serial ATA model

numbers. Make sure that you use DiscWizard 2003 or later when
installing a Barracuda

To run DiscWizard:

Follow the instructions on the download page at www.sea
ate a diskette and complete the installation.

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

What you need

• A Phillips screwdriver and four 6-32 UNC drive mounting screws.

• A Serial ATA interface cable (sold separately). Maximum length is 39
inches (1 meter).

• A Serial ATA-compatible power cable or adapter (sold separately).

• A version of Windows with FAT32 or NTFS file system.

• A system with a motherboard that has a Serial ATA connector on it, or a
Serial ATA host adapter and available PCI slot in which to install the
adapter.

Refer to your computer system documentation to see if your system sup­ports Serial ATA on the motherboard and to locate the Serial ATA connec­tor. If your system does not have a Serial ATA connector on the
motherboard, you must purchase a Serial ATA host adapter that is compat­ible with your computer and operating system and install it with the appro­priate device driver according to the host adapter manufacturer’s
installation instructions.

Note. See www.seagate.com/support/disc/sata/

that sell Serial ATA components including host adapters, cables,
and power adapters.

Handling precautions/electrostatic discharge protection

• Disc drives are fragile. Do not drop or jar the drive. Handle the drive only
by the edges or frame. Keep the drive in the protective SeaShell
tainer until you are ready to install it to minimize handling damage.

• Drive electronics are extremely sensitive to static electricity. While
installing the drive, wear a wrist strap and cable connected to ground.

• Turn off the power to the host system during installation.

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

Attaching cables and mounting the drive

1. Attach one end of the drive interface cable to the Serial ATA interface

connector on your computer’s motherboard or Serial ATA host adapter
(see your computer manual for connector locations). Host adapter con­figuration is shown below.

Note. Serial ATA connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation.

2. Attach the interface and power cables to the drive.

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

side-mounting or bottom-mounting holes. Insert the screws no more
than 0.20 inches (5.08 mm) into the bottom-mounting holes and no
more than 0.14 inches (3.55 mm) into the side-mounting holes.

Note. Do not overtighten the screws or use metric screws. This may dam-

age the drive.

Configuring the BIOS

Close your computer case and restart your computer. Your computer may
automatically detect your new drive. If your computer does not automati­cally detect your new drive, follow the steps below.

1. Restart your computer. While the computer restarts, run the system
setup program (sometimes called BIOS or CMOS setup). This is usu­ally done by pressing a special key, such as DELETE, ESC, or F1 dur­ing the startup process.

2. Within the system setup program, instruct the system to auto detect
your new drive.

3. Save the settings and exit the setup program.

When your computer restarts, it should recognize your new drive. If your
system still doesn’t recognize your new drive, see the troubleshooting sec­tion on the back of this sheet.

Note. Serial ATA is a new interface type. Some older systems may see the

drive and classify it as a SCSI device if you are using a Serial ATA
host adapter. This is normal even though this is not a SCSI disc
drive. This does not affect drive performance or capacity.

Microsoft Operating System Installation Instructions

For detailed information about installing a Microsoft operating system on
your new Seagate drive, refer to the Microsoft Knowledgebase Article ref­erences below. To locate an article, go to http://support.microsoft.com

and
enter the article number in any search box on the Microsoft web site. For
example, to view the Knowledgebase article for installing Windows XP on

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 auto­detect 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

Serial ATA compatible. You need either a Serial ATA 1.0-compatible
motherboard connector or Serial ATA host adapter to use this drive.
