The easiest way to install your drive

Many of today’s mobile computers have been designed to make it possible
for the end user to replace the hard drive. Refer to your syst em’s user
manual for the location of the hard drive compartment and the specific
instructions regarding replacement.

Some mobile systems are sealed and require specialized tools to gain
access to the hard drive.

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

computers. In some cases, opening the case may void your war­ranty. Consult your system documentation.

Seagate recommends taking your system to an authorized service techni­cian to replace your hard drive.

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 systems hard drive.

What you need

• A Phillips screwdriver

• Existing drive mounting screws (reuse)

• Existing drive mounting framework, cage or tray (reuse)

• ATA interface adapter (built into notebook and laptop systems)

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 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.

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.Turn off the computer. If you have a notebook or laptop com-

puter, disconnect the power charger/adapter and remove the
battery before you open the case or touch any internal compo­nents.

Note. This drive is designed for a host computer that supplies interface

signals and +5V power through a single 44-pin connector. Most
mobile computers have a fixed connector that attaches directly to
the drive.

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

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 mobile system operation, use cable select (default) or master.

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 x 0.5 mounting screws.

• 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 computer. Your com­puter may automatically detect your new drive. I f 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 this sheet.

System manufacturer’s operating system restore CD

Refer to your mobile system documentation for specific instructions on
restoring the operating system on your newly installed hard drive. Man y
computers require the use of an operating system restore CD, originally
shipped with the system, to reload the operating system on the hard drive.

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 computer 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.
