The easiest way to install your S1 Series drive
Many of today’s consumer products, like cameras, notebook computers,
MP3 players, printers and more have been designed to make it possible
for the end user to use compact flash interface devices. Your Seagate S1
Series drive is designed for such use. Refer to your product’s user manual
for the location of the compact flash media compartment and the specific
instructions regarding insertion and removal of removable media devices
like the ST650211CF and ST625211CF models. Your product’s manufac-
turer’s support website will have the most up-to-date information. Read
and follow all instructions regarding the proper steps to be taken when
using your Seagate S1 Series disc drive.
The Seagate S1 Series Flex interface disc drive models, ST650211FX and
ST625211FX, are designed for embedded installation, or as a fixed stor-
age solution. Follow the installation instructions provided on this instruction
sheet. Your product’s manufacturer’s support website will have the most
up-to-date information on installing and removing storage devices. Read
and follow all instructions regarding the proper steps to be taken when
using your Seagate S1 Series disc drive. It is important to follow the han-
dling 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
• S1 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 2 and Figure 3)
• Keep the drive away from strong magnetic fields to avoid data loss.

Installing your S1 Series Flex interface model disc drive
Follow installation instructions for media devices provided in your product’s
user manual to determine if your Seagate S1 Series disc drive is compati-
ble. 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 S1 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 S1 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 power con-
nector and interface cable are securely attached.
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 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. I’m running Windows 98 and FDISK is not reporting the full
capacity of my drive. Why? You need to upgrade your version of
FDISK if you are using the diskettes or CD that came with your original
Windows 95 or 98 operating system. Microsoft provides a free down-
loadable FDISK upgrade. See Microsoft Knowledgebase article num-
ber: 263044 located at http://support.microsoft.com.
5. 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.
6. Why does my computer hang on startup? Verify that your system is
ATA compatible. You need either an ATA-compatible motherboard con-
nector or ATA host adapter to use this drive.
Note. If these tips do not answer your question or solve the problem, con-
tact your dealer or visit http://seatools.seagate.com to download
SeaTools™ disc diagnostics software and more troubleshooting
advice.
