Introduction
Thismanualisorganizedtoassistyouintheinstallation
and operation of your Seagate Hawk 2LP (wide bus)
family disc drive. Family models are listed in the Prod-
uct Information section. It also provides information to
aid in obtaining service for the drive. The Hawk 2LP
(wide) family drives have a 16 bit data interface.

warnings and cautions.
Warning.
This equipment generates,uses,andcanradiateradio
frequency energy and if not installed and used in
accordance with these instructions, may cause inter-
ference to radio communications.

siderations
The drive(s) described herein, as delivered, are de-
signed for system integration and installation into a
suitable enclosure prior to use. As such, the drive(s)
described herein are supplied as a subassembly and
arenotsubjecttoSubpartJofPart15oftheFCCRules

the Canadian Department of Communications.
The physical design characteristics of the drive(s)
described herein, serve to minimize EMI radiation
when installed in an enclosure that provides reason-
able shielding. As such, the drive(s) are capable of
meeting the Class B limits of the FCC Rules and the
RegulationsoftheCanadianDepartmentofCommuni-
cations.

Before you begin
Verify that the system is switched off and discon-
nected from main power before any installation is
attempted.
Protect yourself, the drive, and your valuable pro-
grams and data by reading the following cautions
and warnings.
•Donottamper withsealedtopcover.Doing sovoids
your warranty. The drive contains no user service-
able components. See Product Repair section for
more information.
•Visually inspect the shipping container for any obvi-
ous damage.
•Verifyallpartslistedonshippingbillarereceivedwith

•When transporting or shipping a drive or system,
please ensure that they are correctly packed in
original Seagate approved (or equivalent) container
and shipped via an air-ride carrier experienced in
handling computer equipment.
•Donotunpack drivefromitsstaticshielded baguntil
you are ready to install it in the system.
•Always handle the drive by the frame or casting.
•Donot touch PrintedCircuit Board (PCB) or theI/O
connector pins.
•Never apply pressure to the PCB or to the drive top
cover

Caution. Thecircuitassembliesandcomponentscon-
tained in this equipment can be degraded or
destroyedbyElectrostaticOverstress(EOS)
or by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
Static electrical charges can accumulate
quickly on personnel, clothing and synthetic
materials.Theelectrostaticfieldsduetothese
charges when brought in close proximity to
susceptible circuit assemblies and compo-
nents, can result in degraded reliability or
immediatefailureoftheaffected component
or assembly.
Toinsureoptimumreliableequipmentopera-
tion, it is required that technical support per-
sonnel discharge themselves by wearing a
grounding strap around the wrist and be

able,groundyourself frequently by touching
the metal chassis of the system before han-
dling any components (this helps only if the
system is connected to a ground). Avoid
static-inducing carpeted areas. This proce-
dure is especially important when handling
printed circuit boards (PCB's).

Installation Overview
Installation of the drive can be divided into distinct
phases. Some of these may not be applicable to all
system installation requirements. Refer to the indi-
vidualdriveinstallationsectionsforspecificinformation
on your drive model.
•Drive configuration: Select those drive features
thatareappropriatetoinstallthedriveinthesystem.
In"W/WD"modelsthisisdonebyinstallingorremov-
ing user configuration jumpers found on the drive
PCB. For "WC/DC" models, some of the configura-
tionparameters canbe setover the80 pininterface.
•Mechanical installation: After setting up the drive
configuration the drive must be mechanically in-
stalled into the host system and the power and I/O
cables attached. Previously mentioned precautions
should be observed.
•CMOS configuration: SCSI drives should not be
definedintheCMOS.TheSCSIhostadapterusesits
own BIOS to handle the Input/Output procedures.
TheCMOS settingfor SCSIdriveis eitherdrive type
zero, or the no drive installed option.
8 Hawk 2LP (Wide) Installation Guide, Rev. A

•Low-Level formatting: All Hawk 2LP wide family
drive models are low-level formatted at the factory
and do not require this step during installation. If an
installeddriveislow-levelformatted,alluserdatawill
be lost.
Note: SeagateTechnologyassumesnoliabilityforlost

vidual drives within the system. Consult the system
documentation for instructions on partitioning and
highlevelformatting.Informationisalso available in
bookstores and libraries.

Product repair information
Service requirements
The special facilities required for the manufacture of
these drives generally prohibit repair in the field. If
problemsoccurduringinstallation,pleasecontactyour
supplierforassistance.Donotattempttodisassemble
or repair. Drives should be sent to the repair depot
through the purchase source, if possible. Please ob-
serve the following cautions.
Caution.
•Handle drive with care. Do not drop, or bump hard.
•Never remove the cover of these disc drives. Serv-
icingitems in the sealedHDA (heads, media, actua-
tor,etc.)require specialfacilities.Thedrivecontains
no user purchasable parts or PCBs.
•Opening the sealed HDA voids the drive warranty.
•Applying a soldering device to the components on
the PCB voids the drive warranty.
•Do not connect or disconnect cables without first
removing power from the drive.
10 Hawk 2LP (Wide) Installation Guide, Rev. A

•Place drive on a flat, static dissipative surface and
handle with extreme care. Always follow all EOS/
ESD precautions to avoid damage to the electrical
assemblies.
Shipping:
When transporting or shipping a drive, a Seagate
approved container must be used. Keep your original
box. They are easily identified by the Seagate Ap-
proved Package label. Shipping a drive in a non-
approved container voids the drive warranty.

Initial setup information
For the initial setup connect the cables or plug into a
mounted connector (if applicable), set the drive ID on
the bus and enable or disable the I/O line terminator
resistor packs (Hawk 2LP family "W" models only).
Theseproceduresaredescribedinparagraphsfollow-
ing.NotewhetherdrivemodelnumberendsinW,WD,
WC or DC.
SCSI interface cable connection
The Hawk 2LP family wide drives are SCSI interface
drives.Systemconnectionon"W"and"WD"modelsis
via a 68 pin SCSI connector. System connection for
"WC" and "DC" models is via an 80 pin SCSI and DC
power connector. The "WC" and "DC" models plug

DC Power connection
Hawk 2LP family "W/WD" model drives receive DC
power through a 4 pin connector mounted on the PCB
in line with the SCSI I/O connector. See figure below.

SCSI address selection
On "W" and "WD" model drives, make sure that the
SCSI bus address jumper(s) are properly set for the
busaddressassignedtothedrive.SeeFigures3aand
3b showing the bus address select header and the
jumperconfigurations thatselect addresses0through
15. ID7 has the highest priority during bus arbitration
(on both 8 and 16 device systems). Bus arbitration
prioritydecreasestoID0,thenID15downtoID8.ID8is
the very lowest priority. Typically the primary boot
deviceissettoID0, thehostisID7andthesubsequent
SCSI drives are jumpered as appropriate for the par-
ticular system involved.
If the drive "Busy" LED shows no on/off activity when
the host is trying to communicate with it, an incorrect
bus address selection at the drive should be suspect-
ed.
On "WC" and "DC" model drives the SCSI ID can be
andpresumablywillbe,setoverthe80pininterfaceby
the host computer. Unless directed to do so by the
systemdocumentation,nojumpersshouldbeinstalled
foraddressselection.On "WC"and"DC" modeldrives,
the host system also has complete control over motor
start functions, so no Motor Start or Delayed Motor
Start Jumpers should be installed.
