ATA Interface Disc Drives
Publication Number: 100217284, Rev. E, May 2005
The easiest way to install your drive
DiscWizardTM, available exclusively from Seagate®, provides you with custom-
ized installation instructions for your hard drive. You can get this free disc drive
installation software from our web site at www.seagate.com/support or run the
program directly from your web browser. In either case, you should run Dis-
cWizard before you install your drive.
To run DiscWizard:
Follow the instructions on the download page at www.seagate.com to create a
diskette and complete the installation.
If you cannot run DiscWizard, follow the instructions on this installation sheet
to install and configure your drive.
What you need
• A Phillips screwdriver and four 6-32 UNC drive mounting screws
• An ATA interface cable. For optimum drive performance and data integrity,
use an 80-conductor Ultra ATA/100 cable (which can be identified by its
blue, gray, and black connectors).
Ultra ATA/100 requirements
The drive can be configured to support a default maximum transfer rate. This
drive can support transfer rates up to 100 Mbytes per second (UDMA 5) in
Ultra ATA/100 mode. Using a software utility, you can set the default transfer
rate to the best capability of your system. For your drive to run in this mode,
you need the following:
• A computer that supports UDMA mode 5
• A 40-pin, 80-conductor cable (available from your computer dealer)
• A software utility to confirm and activate Ultra ATA/100. Seagate provides a
utility called UATA100.exe. You can download the latest version from our
web site at www.seagate.com.
• Windows XP, Windows Me, or Windows 98 operating system which supports
Ultra ATA 100.
Large disc requirements (for capacities over 137 Gbytes)
To realize the full capacity of drives over 137 Gbytes:
• Use an operating system that supports 48-bit addressing:
- Microsoft Windows XP Home with Service Pack 1 (or later)
- Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 1 (or later)
- Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 3
- Windows 2000 Server with Service Pack 3
• Use a 48-bit compatible Ultra ATA/133 PCI host adapter card or connector
on your motherboard.
Go to http://support.seagate.com for additional information.
Breather filter hole precaution
Caution. Do not cover, seal, or insert any object into this hole.
This hole has two purposes:
• To allow condensation inside the hard disc to escape
• To allow air pressure inside the hard disc to equalize with ambient pressure
If this hole is covered, sealed, or penetrated by any object, the drive reliability
may be compromised and could lead to permanent damage—doing so voids
the warranty.
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.
• 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. Return the entire
drive for depot service if any part is defective.
• Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the drive.
Setting the jumpers
Refer to the jumper settings illustration below or on your drive label to config-
ure the drive for your system. Jumper settings can also be accessed online
from our web site at www.seagate.com.
•Master or single drive: The drive is shipped configured for a master or a
single drive with a jumper set on pins 7 and 8.
•Drive is slave: To configure the drive as a slave or second drive on the
cable, remove all the jumpers.
•Master with non-ATA compatible slave: Use this setting if the slave drive
is not recognized. Configure the master drive with a jumper set on pins 5
and 6 and pins 7 and 8 to enable this option.
•Cable select: Computers that use cable select to determine the master and
slave drives by selecting or dese-
lecting pin 28, CSEL, on the inter-
face bus. To enable cable select,
set a jumper on pins 5 and 6.
•Alternate capacity jumper:
Drives with a 40-Gbyte capacity or
greater are limited to 32 Gbytes.
Use this jumper only if you have a
legacy system with a BIOS that
does not support large capacity
disc drives. When using the alter-
nate capacity jumper,
• Manager software is required to
achieve the drive’s full capacity.
Attaching cables and
mounting the drive
1. Attach one end of the drive interface cable to the interface connector on
your computer’s motherboard (see your computer manual for connector
locations).
Caution. Align pin 1 on the motherboard connector with pin 1 on your drive
connector. Pin 1 is marked by a stripe on one side of the cable.
2. Secure the drive using four 6-32 UNC mounting screws in either the side-
mounting or bottom-mounting holes. Insert the screws no more than 0.20
inches (5.08 mm) into the bottom-mounting holes and no more than 0.14
inches (3.55 mm) into the side-mounting holes.
Note. Do not overtighten the screws or use metric screws. This may damage
the drive.
3. Attach the interface connector and the power connector to the drive.
Configuring the BIOS
Close your computer case and restart your computer. your computer may auto-
matically detect your new drive. If your computer does not automatically detect
your new drive, follow the steps below.
a. 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.
b. Within the System Setup program, instruct the system to auto detect your
new drive.
c. Enable LBA and UDMA modes, if available and then save the settings and
exit the Setup program.
When your computer restarts, it should recognize your new drive. If your sys-
tem still doesn’t recognize your new drive, see the troubleshooting section on
the back of this sheet.

Preparing the drive using DiscWizard
Installing a single drive
If you are installing a single drive, we recommend using DiscWizard to auto-
matically partition and format your drive. DiscWizard software is available at
www.seagate.com and is free. During the download, the Diskette Creator cre-
ates a portable bootable diskette. To run DiscWizard:
1. Insert your bootable DiscWizard diskette and follow the instructions. Dis-
cWizard 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. At the prompt,
type setup. Follow the instructions provided on your screen.
Installing a slave drive
If you are installing a second drive, or slave, to your system, use the DiscWiz-
ard software available at www.seagate.com.
If you do not want to install your drive using either DiscWizard or Disk Man-
ager, see “Standard Microsoft Installation” below to partition and format your
drive.
Standard Microsoft installation
Caution. Partitioning or formatting a drive erases all data on the drive.
Seagate assumes no liability if you erase your data.
1. Insert a bootable Windows startup diskette and restart your computer. This
is provided with your Microsoft Windows operating system software.
2. Run fdisk and create a primary DOS partition.
3. Mark the partition as active to make the partition bootable.
Drive formatting
Caution. Use the correct drive letters to prevent formatting a drive that already
contains data.
1. At the A: prompt, type format x: (where x is the letter of your first new par-
tition) and then press the Enter key. Repeat the format process for all new
partitions.
2. Proceed to “Loading the operating system” below.
Loading the operating system
Note. The operating system needs to be installed on the master drive only. It
is not required when adding a second drive.
1. Boot your computer from your Windows operating system CD-ROM or
from your system startup diskette with the Windows CD loaded in the CD
drive.
2. At the prompt, type setup and continue with the Windows setup as
instructed 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 that begins when power is applied. If your drive does not
spin, check that the power connector and interface cable are securely
attached and the jumpers are installed correctly.
2. Does the computer recognize the drive? Verify that the drive is enabled
in the system CMOS or setup program. If not, select the autodetect option
and enable it. If your drive has a problem, it may not be recognized by the
system.
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. 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.
5. Why won’t the drive format to full capacity? Verify that your BIOS has
autodetect and LBA mode enabled. Otherwise, you may need to use Disk
Manager to achieve the full capacity of your drive. Download the latest ver-
sion from www.seagate.com or find it on your CD.
6. Why does my computer hang on startup? Verify that your system is
ATA/100 compatible with the UDMA mode setting. Some legacy BIOS
cause hangs on startup or other problems if it is not ATA/100 compatible.
For more information, see the earlier section on the Ultra ATA/100 require-
ments. In addition, some legacy BIOS may cause a hang due to the large
drive capacity. Consider using the alternate capacity jumper if it is available
on your drive model.
Use the alternate capacity jumper if your computer does not support higher
capacity drives. The jumper will limit large capacity drives to 32 Gbytes.
Note. If these tips do not answer your question or solve the problem, contact
your dealer or visit http://seatools.seagate.com to download SeaTools
disc diagnostics software and more troubleshooting advice.
