Setting the jumper pin

NOTE: A system hang condition occurs when the installation of a hard disk drive larger than 32GB is attempted into a
PC that incorporates certain older Basic Input-Output Systems (BIOS).
To remedy this problem: First, upgrade the BIOS by contacting your PC or main board manufacturer.
Second, set the drive jumpers to the 32GB clip configuration and install the disk manager software available from our website
www.samsunghdd.com which can be downloaded free of charge.
Microsoft recommends that the Windows95 user who wants to use an HDD capacity of 32GB or higher should upgrade
to Windows98/NT/2000 or higher.
If you need a jumper, please contact the nearest service center or mail us via www.samsunghdd.com.

Setting the system BIOS
Setting the system BIOS
A_Turn on your computer system. During the startup sequence, run the CMOS(BIOS) setup program. Newer systems will
typically display a message similar to "press DEL to enter SETUP", showing how to access the CMOS(BIOS) program.
(What is the CMOS Setup?)
It's a program that controls the computer's basic details such as Date and Time, memory capacity, and disk drive status.
Because this information gets recorded into the CMOS IC, these recorded details are not lost when
the computer is turned off.
B_Choose a device position within the BIOS where the hard disk drive will be installed.
C_To make the computer detect the hard disk drive, select the "auto-detect" option then save and exit the BIOS set up.
If your computer supports IDE HDD auto detection, the hard disk drive will automatically be detected. If you select the
type from the IDE Adapter Primary Master Slave section, "Autotype Fixed Disk: [Press Enter]" will appear on the screen.
If you press Enter, the hard disk drive will automatically be detected.

Partitioning and formatting
8 English
Partitioning and formatting
The newly installed hard disk drive must be partitioned and formatted before it is ready for use. If your operating system(OS)
is Windows 2000, XP, or higher, your OS will automatically recognize the hard drive. Follow the on screen directions when
installing your OS. Please refer to your OS and/or computer user's manual for more information.
If your OS is windows ME or earlier, take the following steps.
A_When the CMOS setup is completed, reboot the system with a booting diskette that has FDISK and FORMAT programs.
B_Run the FDISK program to set up the partitions.
If you only want to use a single partition, select all the disk space available by the hard disk drive. In order to use 2 or
more partitions, divide the disk space.
C_Reboot with a booting diskette.
D_Run the FORMAT program and format the hard disk drive. If you divided the drive into multiple partitions (D:, E:, etc.) ,
you must format all the drives.
CAUTION!: FDISK and FORMAT programs erase all the data on the hard disk drive.
To avoid inadvertent erasure, backup your data before running FDISK or FORMAT programs.
Installing the operating system(OS)
Refer to the operating system user's manual to install the operating system.
