The easiest way to install your drive

Most blade servers are designed to make it possible to easily replace the
hard drive. Refer to your system’s user manual for the location of the hard
drive compartment and the specific instructions regarding replacement.

Caution. Special training or tools may be needed to service some blade

servers.

Refer to your system manufacturer ’s support website for the most up-to­date information. Read and follow all instructions regarding the proper
steps to be taken when replacing the hard drive.

What you need

• A Phillips screwdriver

• Existing drive mounting screws

• Existing blade server drive mounting framework, cage, or tray

• ATA interface adapter (built into blade servers)

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 electrostatic discharge
(ESD) bag 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 blade server during installation. In most blade
server host systems, you do not need to shut down the entire system
chassis itself, just power to the blade server itself. Refer to the system’s
documentation for information specific to your particular system.

• 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.

Replacing the existing hard drive

Each system has its own unique hard drive compartment. Refer to y our
system manual to locate the hard drive co mpartment and for instructions
on removing and replacing the hard drive.

Warning.Ensure that power to the drive is rem oved or turned off. In a

blade server, this typically means turning off power to the blade
server itself, not the host chassis.

Note. This drive is designed for a blade server that supplies interface sig-

nals and +5V power through a single 44-pin connector. Most blade
servers have a fixed connector that attaches directly to the drive.

Some blade servers allow two drives to be installed and setup in a mirrored
RAID configuration. If this is your situation, ensure that the storage capaci­ties and speeds of the two drives are identical to avoid potential perfor­mance and reliability problems.

Setting the jumpers

Refer to the jumper settings in Figure 1 or on your drive label to configure
the drive for your system. Jumper settings can also be accessed online
from our web site at www.sea

gate.com.

Master or single drive: Use the options jumper block shown in Figure 1 to
configure the drive for operation. This jumper block is the 4-pin header
adjacent to pins 1 and 2 of the I/O signal pins.

Note. For blade server operation, use cable select (default) or master.

Drive is master (or single drive)

Drive mounting

You can mount the drive using four screws in the side-mounting holes or
four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. See Figure 2 for drive mounting
dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting
the drive:

• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 inches (0.76 mm) around the entire
perimeter of the drive for cooling.

• Use only M3 UNC mounting screws. (Reusing the existing screws may
be acceptable provided the maximum screw penetration depth of 0.098
inches is not exceeded.)

• Gently tighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 4.0 in-lb).

• Four (4) threads (0.080 inches) minimum screw engagement recom­mended.

Configuring the BIOS

After completing the drive installation, restart your blade server according
to your system documentation. Your blade server may automatically detect
your new drive. If your server does not automatically detect your new drive,
follow the steps below.

1. Restart your blade server. While it restarts, run the system setup pro­gram (sometimes called BIOS o r 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 blade server to auto
detect your new drive.

3. Save the settings and exit the setup program.

When your blade server restarts, it should recognize your new drive. If
your server still doesn’t recognize your new drive, see the troubleshooting
section on this sheet.

System manufacturer’s operating system restore CD

Refer to your blade server’s system documentation for specific instructions
on restoring the operating system on your newly installed hard drive. Many
computers require the use of an operating system restore CD, originally
shipped with the system, to reload the operating system on the hard drive.

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
your new Seagate drive:

1. Open your browser.

2. Go to http://support.microsoft.com

.

3. Enter 313348 in the Microsoft web site search box.

4. Press Enter.
The article is displayed on your screen.

Preparing the drive using DiscWizard

We recommend using DiscWizard Starter Edition to automatically partition
and format your drive. DiscWizard software is available at
www.sea

gate.com and is free. To run DiscWizard:

1. Insert your bootable DiscWizard Starter Edition diskette or CD and fol-

low the instructions. DiscWizard will guide you through the installation
process.

2. Boot your blade server from the Windows operating system CD-ROM

or from your system startup diskette with the Windows CD loaded. Fol­low the instructions provided on your screen.

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 progra m. 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 A TA-compatible motherboard con­nector or ATA host adapter to use this drive.
