Application. Your drive is designed for IBM AT and compatible
personal computers, particularly laptop and notebook models.
Warning. Turn off the computer before you open the case, touch
any internal components or install the drive.
Note. Special training or tools may be needed to service laptop
and notebook computers. Opening the case may void your
warranty. Review the terms and conditions of your warranty before opening the case.
Static discharge. Observe the following precautions:
• Keep the drive in its static-shielded bag until you are ready to
complete the installation. Do not attach any cables to the drive
while it is in its static-shielded bag.
• Handle the drive by its edges or frame.
• Do not touch the I/O connector pins or the circuit board.
• Before handling any components, put on a grounded wrist
strap, or ground yourself frequently by touching the metal
chassis of a computer that is plugged into a grounded outlet.
• Use antistatic padding on all work surfaces.
• Avoid static-inducing carpeted areas.
Drive handling. The drive is extremely fragile—handle it with
care. Do not attach labels to any part of the drive.
Inspection. Once you are familiar with the handling precautions
listed above, inspect the drive. If it appears to be damaged, call
your distributor or dealer immediately.
Warranty. See your authorized Seagate

Maintenance and repair. Seagate drives do not require maintenance. The head/disc assembly is sealed; if you break the seal,
you void the warranty. Seagate customer service centers are the
only facilities authorized to repair Seagate drives. Seagate does
not sanction any third-party repair facilities.
Shipping. Keep your original box and packing materials for
transporting or shipping your drive. The box has a
Approved Package
container voids the warranty. Call your authorized Seagate distributor to purchase additional boxes.

Configuring the drive
Put on a grounded wrist strap. If you are grounding yourself
to the chassis of the computer, plug the power cord into a
grounded outlet. Wear a grounded wrist strap throughout the
installation procedure.
Install master/slave jumpers. In a two-drive system, you need to
designate one drive as the master, or drive 0, and the other drive as
the slave, or drive 1. In a one-drive system, configure the drive as a
master. To configure the drive as a master or slave, install the
master/slave jumpers as shown in Figure 1.
As an alternative to configuring the drive as a master or slave
using jumper settings, you can use a specialized daisy-chain
cable that grounds pin 28 (CSEL) on only one of its two drive
connectors. In this case, a drive becomes a master if it is attached
to the grounded CSEL connector; otherwise it becomes a slave.
To configure an ST9190 family drive for master/slave selection
using cabling, install both master/slave jumpers. In choosing this
approach, you should be aware that the drive consumes less
power with fewer jumpers installed.

Attaching cables
This drive is designed for a host computer that supplies interface
signals and +5V power through a single 44-pin connector and
cable. If your computer has a fixed connector that attaches
directly to the drive, skip ahead to the following section, “Mounting
the drive.” Otherwise, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off the computer. In some notebook and laptop com-
puters, you may need to remove the battery.
2. Put on a grounded wrist strap.
3. Connect the 44-pin interface/power cable. Connect the
44-pin interface/power cable. Match pin 1 of the interface
cable to pin 1 of the interface connector on the drive and on
the computer. Pin 1 is usually denoted by a stripe along one
edge of the ribbon cable. The location of pin 1 on the drive
interface connector is shown in Figure 1 on page 3. The cable
should be no longer than 18 inches.
Caution. The printed circuit cables used in some laptop com-
puters are delicate. Be careful not to tear them.
Mounting the drive
You can mount the drive in any orientation using the four side
mounting screws or the four bottom mounting screws. Be careful
not to crimp or strain the connector cable. If you plug the drive
directly into a fixed connector, be careful not to bend the drive
connector pins.
Caution. To avoid damaging the drive:
• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 inches (0.762 mm)
around the entire perimeter of the drive for heat dissipation.
