The easiest way to install your drive
DiscWizard is Seagate’s exclusive Windows program that is
included with your drive for easy drive installation.
DiscWizard helps you configure your new drive and your com-
puter. It analyzes your system, lets you select various installation
options and creates customized step-by-step instructions. It also
allows older computers to access the full capacity of large hard
drives. Run this software
before installing your drive.
You can run DiscWizard to install your new hard drive if:
•You already have an existing, bootable hard drive in your com-
puter with at least 3 Mbytes of available disc space,
and
•You are running Windows 95 or Windows 98.
To run DiscWizard:
•Select Run from the Windows Start menu and type
x :\setup,
where
x is the drive letter of your diskette or CD-ROM.
If you cannot run DiscWizard, follow the instructions in this
installation guide to install and configure your new drive.

What you need
•Straight-edge and Phillips screwdrivers
•Four 6-32 UNC drive mounting screws
•A standard 40-pin ATA interface cable,
or an 80-conductor
cable to run Ultra ATA 66 (max length: 18 inches)
•An unused drive power cable for your new drive
Ultra ATA/66 Requirements
The drive can support transfer rates up to 66 Mbytes per second
in Ultra ATA/66 mode. For your drive to run in this mode you
need the following:
•A computer that supports UDMA modes 3 and 4
•A 40-pin 80-conductor cable (maximum length 18 inches)
•A software utility to activate Ultra ATA/66. Seagate provides a
utility called UTA66.exe that is included on your CD, or you can
download it from our Web site at www.Seagate.com.
•The Windows 98 operating system
Before you begin
•Make sure your computer is turned off before you open the
case.
•Read the handling precautions at the right and inspect the
drive to make sure that it is not damaged.
•Save your foam-lined Seagatedisc drive box. This box has
been approved by Seagate for shipping a Seagate disc drive.
Using any other container or packing material voids your drive
warranty.

Handling precautions
Disc drives are extremely fragile. Do not drop or jar
your drive.
Keep the drive in its antistatic bag until you are
ready to install it.
Protect your drive from static discharge by making
sure you are well grounded before touching the
drive. We recommend wearing a grounded wrist
strap throughout the installation process. Do not
touch the connectors or any part of the printed cir-
cuit board.
Always handle the drive by its edges or frame.
Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit
board or the top of the drive.

Master/slave jumpers
If you already have one hard drive in your computer and you are
installing a second drive, you must configure one drive as a mas-
ter and the other as a slave.
Note. If you need to change the jumpers on your existing hard
drive, see the Disk Manager online manual, look on the
drive label, or contact the drive manufacturer.
Installing a master or one drive only:
•The drive is shipped configured for a master or single-drive
installation with a jumper set on pins 7 and 8.
Note. The master drive usually defaults to being the “boot” drive
(drive C), from which the computer loads system soft-
ware when it first starts up.
Installing a slave drive:
•If you are installing your drive as the second drive on the
cable, remove all the jumpers.

Attaching cables and mounting the drive
1. Attach one end of the drive interface cable to the interface
connector on your 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 on is marked by a
stripe on one side of the cable.
Figure 2. Attaching the cables
Note. A 40-pin 80-conductor cable is required to run in Ultra
ATA/66 mode. Attach the
blue connector to the mother-
board, the
black connector to the master or single drive,
and the
grey connector to the slave.
2. Attach the interface cable and the power connector to the
new drive.
