Configuring the drive
1. Turn the computer off.
2. Remove your computer’s outer case. Caution. Special training or tools may be needed to service
portable computers. Removing the cover may void your warranty. Review the terms and conditions of your warranty before removing the cover.
3. Ground yourself. Wear a grounded wrist strap throughout this procedure, or frequently touch the metal chassis of a computer that is plugged into a grounded outlet.
4. Remove the drive from its antistatic bag.
5. Install master/slave jumpers. The options jumper block J8,
shown in Figure 1 on page 4, accepts 2-mm connectors and jumpers. Use Seagate part number 13211-001 or equivalent.
One-drive system: Configure the drive for a one-drive system as shown in Figure 1.
Two-drive system: Do not use an ATA interface drive in a system with another drive having a controller that does not use the ATA interface. With two ATA interface drives, you must designate one drive as the master, or drive 0, and the other as the slave, or drive 1. This can be done in either of two ways:
When using cable select, if your computer and both drives support cable select and you want to use this option, first install three cable-select jumpers on pins 1 through 6 of J8 as shown in Figure 1; then use a special cable as described in step 5 of “Attaching cables” on page 5 to designate master and slave drives.

If you are not using cable select and instead are using a standard ATA interface cable, configure the drive as a master or a slave as shown in Figure 1.
Attaching cables
Figure 2 on page 6 shows the locations of the drive connectors.
1. Make sure the computer is off.
2. Put on a grounded wrist strap.
3. Connect the remote LED (optional). If you want to connect
the drive-activity indicating LED of your computer front panel to the drive, attach the two-wire LED connector cable from the case to pins 9 (–) and 10 (+) of jumper block J8 (shown in Figure 1).
4. Attach the power cable. Connect a system power cable to the 4-pin power connector.
5. Attach the interface cable. Note that the cable length must be 18 inches or less.
Caution. Connector misalignment can damage the computer
and the drive.
One-drive system using standard ATA 40-pin interface cable:
Connect one end of the cable to the computer’s host adapter card or the hard drive connector located on the motherboard, and the other end to interface connector J1 on the drive. Align pin 1 on each cable connector with pin 1 on its matching equipment connector. (Typically, an edge-stripe on the cable denotes cable lead 1 going to pin 1). Pin 1 of J1 on the drive is identified in Figure 2.

ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B 7 Two-drive system with standard ATA 40-pin interface cable:
If you are using a standard 40-pin two-drive ribbon cable, plug one connector into J1 on each drive and attach the remaining connector to the host adapter. Align pin 1 on connectors as described above for a one-drive system.
Two-drive system using cable select:
Use of this method requires drives supporting the cable select option and also requires a special daisy-chain interface cable built for cable-select; this cable is not the same as a standard 40 pin hard drive cable. To make a drive the master, attach it to the connector that has the CSEL signal line connected to pin 28. To make a drive the slave, attach it to the connector that has pin 28 unconnected. Finally, connect the cable to the host adapter. Note that CSEL is grounded on the host adapter.
Mounting the drive
Mount the drive securely in the computer, following recommended mounting orientations as shown in Figure 3 on page 8. When you position the drive, avoid crimping or stretching the drive cables.
Caution. To prevent drive mounting hole damage, use only 6-32
UNC-2A mounting screws. Tighten them gently using less than 6 inch-pounds of torque.
Bottom hole mounting method. Insert screws in all of the four bottom mounting holes as shown in Figure 3. Do not drive the screws more than 0.20 inches (6 turns) into the drive frame.
Side hole mounting method. Insert screws in four of the six available side mounting holes as shown in Figure 3. Use two mounting holes on each side. Do not drive the screws more than
0.20 inches (6 turns) into the drive frame.

Configuring the computer
Configure your computer for the drive as follows:
1. Turn the computer on and follow the manufacturer’s instructi­ions for running the CMOS Setup routine.
2. When CMOS Setup starts, first select a drive type that matches your drive’s translation geometry:
If none of the standard drive types offered by the Setup routine match the translation geometry shown in the following table, select the drive’s translation geometry.

Low-level formatting
AT drives are low-level formatted at the factory to 512 bytes per sector. You do not need to low-level format AT drives.
Partitioning
You must partition a drive into one or more logical drives before you can use it. If you are using DOS Version 3.3 or earlier, disc partitions are limited to approximately 32 Mbytes. Beginning with DOS Version 4.0, you can put the entire drive on one partition. Partitioning is described in your DOS manual.
Caution. Partitioning or formatting a drive at any level erases all
data on it. Before you repartition or reformat your drive, save all existing files to backup files. Seagate assumes no liability if you erase your data.
ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B 11
High-level formatting
High-level formatting verifies the information written by the low­level format and builds the file allocation table (FAT) used by DOS to access files on the drive. Consult your MS-DOS manual to learn how to use the DOS FORMAT utility to high-level format the drive.
In Unix, high-level formatting creates the i-node used for file access information. Drive formatting and partitioning are both performed by a single operating system utility. Refer to your Unix operating system documentation for instructions.
Troubleshooting
In the event of problems, you should perform the following basic checks, which can resolve common installation difficulties.
Warning. Always turn your computer off before changing jump-
ers or unplugging cables and cards.
Verify compatibility. Verify that the host adapter and the drive are appropriately matched to each other and to your computer. Refer to relevant documentation for details.
Verify equipment configuration. Using the instructions in the drive and host adapter installation guides, make sure that all appropriate jumpers are installed, or removed, as needed.
Check the power supply specifications. If new devices are installed, your computer’s power supply may not support new total power requirements. When in doubt, consult your dealer.
Check all cards. Verify that all cards are seated in their slots on the motherboard and are secured with mounting screws.
12 ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B
Verify the CMOS drive type setting. The drive type setting stored in CMOS memory using CMOS Setup must approxi­mate, but not exceed, the physical specifications of your drive.
Check all cables. Make sure all ribbon cables are securely connected. Verify that they are not crimped or damaged, and if in doubt, substitute cables that are new or known to be good. Verify for each cable that cable connector pin 1 aligns with equipment connector pin 1. Pin 1 is often denoted by a colored stripe on one edge of the ribbon cable.
Caution.Do not reverse-plug connectors. This can damage
the computer and the drive.
Note. A floppy diskette cable contains a split and twisted
section and cannot be used with a hard drive.
Check for viruses.
Before you use someone else’s diskette
in your system for the first time, scan the diskette for viruses.
If the preceding basic checks have been done and the problem still is not solved, follow these guidelines for troubleshooting:
The system does not recognize the presence of the drive.
Check all cables.
Make sure the power supply is adequate to system needs.
Reboot the computer and make sure the drive motor runs. (If
your drive is very quiet, it may be difficult to hear it come to operating rotational speed.) If the drive does not appear to be running, check all drive cables.
Verify the CMOS Setup drive type values.
Try a warm boot (a reboot without turning off computer power).
To do this, press
CTRL, ALT, and DELETE at the same time.
ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B 13
If a warm boot causes a previously unrecognized drive to become recognized, there may be a timing problem in which the drive fails to become ready before the computer’s power­on self-test is complete.
One possible solution is to slow your computer’s 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 to slow the processor speed; 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, first verify that the drive and host adapter are compatible with your computer by removing all peripheral adapter cards, except the video card; then reinstall the drive and host adapter card. If this is successful, reinstall the peripheral cards one at a time until the conflict reoccurs.
After you have isolated the source of the address conflicts, you can resolve the conflict by changing the I/O address of the peripheral that appears to cause the conflict.
The dealer partitioned and high-level formatted the drive for you in the store. Later, you installed the drive and it does not work at all.
Reboot the computer and make sure the drive spins up.
Check all cables.
Make sure the power supply is adequate to system needs.
14 ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B
Use the same version of DOS within all partitions. Make sure that the DOS version the dealer used to partition and high-level format the drive is the same as the version you have installed on your computer. If it isn’t, see your dealer.
Verify the CMOS drive type setup value. You must install the drive using the same drive type or translation geometry that was set before initial partitioning by your computer dealer.
Check for I/O address conflicts between peripheral cards.
Check for viruses.
The screen goes 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 a mounting screw.
Check all cables. Make sure the video-card cables are se­curely attached.
While the computer is powered down, 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 hangs in FDISK or fails to create or save the partition record.
Check all cables.
The DOS utilities diskette may be corrupted. Try your backup
DOS diskette.
Make the partitions smaller.
ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B 15
Use another drive type or translation geometry. Sometimes the computer’s BIOS does not accept a particular translation geometry value for writing into the CMOS Setup memory.
Change the interrupt jumper setting on the host adapter.
Check for media defects at the beginning of the drive. Use a
third-party surface scan utility.
The FDISK error message, “No Fixed Disk Present,” appears.
Check all cables.
Make sure the power supply is adequate to system needs.
Reboot the computer and make sure the drive spins up.
Verify the CMOS setup drive-type setting.
Check for I/O address conflicts.
DOS messages, “Disk Boot Failure,” “Non-System Disk,” or “No ROM Basic - SYSTEM HALTED,” appear.
Check all cables.
Use the same version of DOS throughout all partitions.
Reinstall the DOS system files using the DOS SYS utility.
Use FDISK to verify that the primary partition is active.
Check for viruses.
System error message, “Drive not Ready,” appears.
Check all cables. For each drive ribbon cable, verify that cable pin 1 is aligned with drive or host pin 1. Pin 1 is usually denoted by a stripe on the side of the ribbon cable.
Make sure the power supply is adequate to system needs.
Reboot the computer and make sure the drive spins up.
16 ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B
During the DOS high-level format, the drive does not format to full capacity.
Verify your computer’s CMOS drive type setting. One of these problems may have occurred: 1) CMOS Setup may be set for an incorrect drive type or translation geometry; 2) you may have entered a parameter value that exceeded the physical capacity of the drive; or 3) you selected a CMOS geometry or drive type that does not take full advantage of the drive’s capacity.
If any of these cases is true, follow the instructions on page 7 for configuring the computer. If you reset the CMOS drive type, partition and high-level format the drive again. Note that DOS does not allow more than 1,024 cylinders.
If you partitioned the drive into individual logical drives, you may need to make the partitions smaller so that the computer can use all of the drive’s capacity.
