It is important to follow the handling precautions and electrostatic discharge
protection information below when handling any electronic device. It is
always a good idea to back up all your data before installing any new
hardware in your computer.
Handling precautions/electrostatic discharge protection
• ST1.3 Series disc drives are fragile. Do not drop or jar the drive. Handle
the drive only by the edges or by the finger grip area shown in Figure 1.
Keep the device in the packaging until you are ready to install it and
between uses to minimize handling damage.
• It may be necessary to turn off the power to the host product during
installation. Refer to your product’s user manual for details regarding
installation and removal of media devices.
• Do not disassemble the drive. Doing so voids the warranty.
See the warranty information on page 2.
• Do not expose the drive to extreme temperatures or humidity conditions.
• Do not apply pressure, write on, or attach labels to the top or bottom of
the drive.
• Do not cover or otherwise obstruct the breather hole on the top of the
drive. (See Figure 3)
• Keep the drive away from strong magnetic fields to avoid data loss.

Installing your ST1.3 Series ZIF interface model disc drive
Follow installation instructions for media devices provided in your product’s
user manual to determine if your Seagate ST1.3 Series disc drive is
compatible. See Figure 3 for drive dimensions. Follow all handling
precautions/electrostatic discharge protection suggestions when installing
any drive.
Follow the precaution when installing and removing your ST1.3 Series Flex
interface disc drive:
• Drive electronics are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Caution
should be exercised when handling any electronic device. Wear an
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) ground strap when integrating the flex
cable into host systems. Improper handling may cause ESD damage to
the ST1.3 Series disc drive’s electronics.
• Do not bend the cable sharply as this may cause the electrical traces to
be broken. See Figure 4.
• When the drive is powered on, do not physically remove the flex cable
from the host connector. Power down the system first before removing
the drive.

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. If your drive does not spin, check that the drive is
securely inserted.
2. Does the computer recognize the drive? Verify that the drive is
enabled in the system CMOS or setup program. If not, select the auto
detect option and enable it. If your drive has a problem, it may not be
recognized by the system. If the operating system does not recognize
the drive, you need to load your host adapter drivers.
3. 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.
4. Why does my computer hang on startup? Verify that your system is
ATA compatible. You need either an ATA-compatible motherboard
connector or ATA host adapter to use this drive.
Note. If these tips do not answer your question or solve the problem,

advice.
