Quick installation procedure
Note: Back up all data before installing drive!
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Remove the computer cover as instructed by the
computer system manual.
3. Discharge static electricity (see Handling pre-
cautions).
4. Unplug the computer.
5. Note the mounting position of existing drives and
cables. If you are replacing a drive or any cable,
remove it now.
6. Remove the drive from the ESD bag.
7. Record the model, the part number, and the serial
number of the drive for future reference.
8. Insert the required jumpers. Refer to the jumper
block diagram below.
•If the drive is the only drive on a cable or the
master drive on a two-drive cable, leave the
jumpers as set at A-B and G-H for 16 head logical
architecture. The jumpers are factory-set to
Master-16 heads.
•If the drive is the slave drive on a two-drive
cable, set the jumpers at A-B and C-D for 16-head

9. Attach the IDE cable.
•If you have a 40-pin 40-conductor cable,
attach the system connector of the cable to the
IDE port on the motherboard or controller card.
The pin 1 side of the IDE cable is marked with a
stripe. The connector can only be inserted one
way.
•If you have a 40-pin 80-conductor cable,
attach the drive to the appropriate color-coded
connector. Forty-pin 80-conductor cables are
color-coded black for Master, gray for Slave, and
blue for system connectors.
10. Attach the power supply cable to the drive. Match
the connector bevels.
11. Mount the drive securely.
12. Verify all attachments.
13. Replace the computer cover.
14. Plug in the computer.
15. Power on your system, Insert your operating system
setup disc or diskette and reboot your system.
16. Verify that the hard disk is recognized by the BIOS
and is reporting the full capacity of the drive.
Instructions for accessing your BIOS can be found
in the computer system manual or in the mother-
board manufacturer documentation. If the drive is
not recognized in the BIOS, set the BIOS options of
your computer system to Auto Detection and LBA
mode if available. Once the drive is recognized
correctly in the BIOS, it is ready to be partitioned
and formatted.
17. Your operating system setup utility will provide
instructions on how to partition and format your
drive before it installs the operating system. For
additional information, see:
www.hgst.com/support
18. Once the operating system is installed, reboot the
system. If the system does not boot up, check all
the settings and try again. If the system still fails to
boot up, call the Hitachi Global Storage
Technologies Support Center for assistance.
