Application. This Seagate® drive is designed for IBM AT and
compatible personal computers. It uses the ATA interface.
Warning. Turn off your computer before you open the case,
touch any internal components or install the drive.
Static discharge. Observe these precautions to avoid static
electricity, which can damage a drive or a computer. Static
electricity can be created by wool or synthetic clothing, carpets
and plastics of any kind, including most bags.
•Keep the drive in its static-shielded bag until you are ready to
install it. Do not attach any cables to the drive while it is in its
static-shielded bag.
•Before you handle the drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or
ground yourself frequently by touching the metal chassis of a
computer plugged into a grounded outlet. Wear a grounded
wrist strap throughout the installation procedure.
•Handle the drive gently and only by its edges or frame. Until
you are ready to install it, place itonly onanantistaticsurface.
•Do not touch the drive’s connector pins or its printed circuit
board.
Drive handling. The drive is extremely fragile—handle it with
care. Do not attach labels to any part of the drive.
Inspection. After 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 distributor or dealer.

Configuring the drive
1. Turn the computer off.
2. Remove your computer’s outer case.
Caution. Special training or tools may be needed to service
portable computers. Removing the cover may void
your warranty. Review the terms and conditions of
your warranty before removing the cover.
3. Ground yourself. Wear a grounded wrist strap throughout
this procedure, or frequently touch the metal chassis of a
computer that is plugged into a grounded outlet.
4. Remove the drive from its antistatic bag.
5. Install master/slave jumpers. The options jumper block J8,
shown in Figure 1 on page 4, accepts 2-mm connectors and
jumpers. UseSeagate part number 13211-001 or equivalent.
One-drivesystem:Configurethedriveforaone-drivesystem
as shown in Figure 1.
Two-drive system: Do not use an ATA interface drive in a
systemwithanotherdrivehavingacontrollerthatdoesnotuse
the ATA interface. With two ATA interface drives, you must
designate one drive as the master, or drive 0, and the other
astheslave,ordrive1.Thiscanbedoneineitheroftwoways:
•When using cable select, if your computer and both drives
support cable select and you want to use this option, first
install three cable-select jumpers on pins 1 through 6 of J8
as shown in Figure 1;then use aspecial cableas described

•If you are not using cable select and instead are using a
standard ATA interface cable, configure the drive as a
master or a slave as shownin Figure 1.
Attaching cables
Figure 2 on page 6 shows the locations of the drive connectors.
1. Make sure the computer is off.
2. Put on a grounded wrist strap.
3. Connect the remote LED (optional). If you want to connect
the drive-activity indicating LED of your computer front panel to
thedrive,attachthetwo-wireLEDconnectorcablefromthecase
topins 9 (–) and 10(+) ofjumper blockJ8 (shownin Figure 1).
4. Attach the power cable. Connect a system power cable to
the 4-pin power connector.
5. Attach the interface cable. Note that the cable length must
be 18 inches or less.
Caution. Connector misalignment can damage the computer
and the drive.
One-drive system using standard ATA 40-pin interface cable:
Connect one end of the cable to the computer’s host adapter
card or the hard drive connector located on the motherboard,
and theother end to interface connector J1on the drive. Align
pin 1 on each cable connector with pin 1 on its matching
equipment connector. (Typically, an edge-stripe on the cable
denotes cable lead 1 going to pin 1). Pin 1 of J1 on the drive
is identified in Figure 2.

Two-drive system with standard ATA 40-pin interface cable:
If you areusinga standard40-pintwo-driveribbon cable, plug
one connector into J1 on each drive andattach theremaining
connector to the host adapter. Align pin 1 on connectors as
described above for a one-drive system.
Two-drive system using cable select:
Useofthismethodrequiresdrivessupportingthecableselect
option and also requires a special daisy-chain interface cable
built for cable-select; this cable is not the same as a standard
40 pin hard drive cable. To make a drivethe master, attach it
to the connector that has the CSEL signal line connected to
pin 28. To make a drive the slave, attach it to the connector
thathas pin 28 unconnected. Finally, connect the cable tothe
hostadapter.NotethatCSELisgroundedonthehostadapter.
Mounting the drive
Mountthedrivesecurelyinthecomputer,followingrecommended
mounting orientations as shownin Figure 3 on page 8. When you
position the drive, avoid crimping or stretching thedrive cables.
Caution. Topreventdrivemountingholedamage,useonly6-32
UNC-2A mounting screws. Tighten them gently using
less than 6 inch-pounds of torque.
Bottom hole mounting method. Insert screws in all of the four
bottom mounting holes as shown in Figure 3. Do not drive the
screws more than 0.20 inches (6 turns) into the drive frame.
Side hole mounting method. Insert screws in four of the six
available side mounting holes as shown in Figure 3. Use two
mounting holes on each side. Do not drive the screws more than
0.20 inches (6 turns) into the drive frame.
