Barracuda V Serial ATA Installation Guide

ST3120023AS, ST380023AS, and ST360015AS Serial ATA (SATA) Interface Disc Drives

Publication Number: 100221385, Rev. A, December 2002

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.

The serial ATA interf ace connects each disc drive in a point-t o-point configuration with the serial ATA host adapter or serial ATA por t on your mo therboard. There is no master/slave relationship as there is with parallel ATA. Each disc drive has its own cable.

Using Serial ATA does not prevent you from continuing to use your existing standard (parallel) ATA drives as long as your system or host adapter provides and supports parallel ATA connectors. This means you can easily add Serial ATA c apability to your existing system without removing your existing 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 the Serial ATA

model numbers, so ensure 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 yo u 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 Ser ial ATA-compatible power cable or adapter (sold separately).

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

• A sys tem 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 whether 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 will need to purchase a Serial ATA host adapter that is compatible with your 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.

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

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).

Note:

Each drive requires its own cable. You cannot attach more than one drive per cable.

3. Secure the drive using four 6-32 UNC mounting screws in either the side-mounting or bottom-mounting holes.

Power cable

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.

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 detec t 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 def ects 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 comp atible. You need either a Ser ial ATA 1.0-compatible motherboard connector or Serial ATA host adapter to use this drive.

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