that the operating system will recognize your new software.
c)c)
c)c)
c) After restarting Windows,shut down your computer,turn off the power,
and remove the cover.
Step 2: Configure the drive (optional)
If your tape drive will be on the same cable with an existing ATAPI device (such
as a CD-ROM),you do nothave to change the default jumper setting (tape
driveis a“slave”).Make sure that the existing ATAPI device is the“Master.”
If your tape drive will be the only device on your secondary IDE port,you
need to configure your tape drive as a“Master.”Turn the drive over and
move the master/slave jumper to the“Master”position,as shown at left.
Step 3: Mount the drive
a)a)
a)a)
a) If you are mounting the tape drive in a 3.5-inch drive bay, skip to step 3b
below.If you are mounting the drive in a 5.25-inch drive bay, attach
mounting bracketsto each side of the drive,as shown at far left.
b)b)
b)b)
b) Slide the drive into an unused drive bay until the bezel is flush with the
front of the computer.Attach the drive using four mounting screws.Do
not overtighten the screws.
Step 4:Connect the IDE cable
Attach your tape drive to the secondary IDE port.
NoteNote
NoteNote
Note. Do
not attach your tape drive to any cable that is already connected
to a hard drive,a floppy drive or a sound card.
If no drives or cables are attached to your secondary IDE port,you may need
to purchase a new 40-pin IDE cable to run from the secondary IDE port to
your tape drive. Attach the new IDE cable to the secondary port and to the
tape drive as shown in the illustration 4a.
If you already have a CD-ROM or other device attached to your secondary
IDE port,attach the tape drive to the middle connector on the IDE cable,as
shown in illustration 4b.
NoteNote
NoteNote
Note.... . When attaching cables,Make sure that pin 1 on the drive is
connected with pin 1 on the IDE connector. Pin 1 on the tape drive is
located next to the 4-pin power cable.Pin 1 on the IDE cable is
indicated by a stripe on the edge of the cable.
Step 5:Connect the power cable
Connect a 4-pin power cable to the back of the tape drive. If all the power
cables in your computer are being used by other devices,you can purchase a
Y-shaped power-cable from your computer dealer.
Step 6: Complete the installation
a)a)
a)a)
a) Check all cables,including those of adjacent devices, to make sure that
none have loosened during the installation.Make sure that all cables are
routed so that they will not bind or become crimped when you replace
the cover of your computer.
b)b)
b)b)
b) Reinstall your computer cover.
c)c)
c)c)
c) Run Seagate Backup Exec and do a test backup to make sure that your
tape drive and software are working properly.

Items you may need for installation
You TapeStor 8GB kit comes complete with:
• Internal SCSI or ATAPITape Drive (8-Gbyte capacity)
• Mounting brackets to adapt the drive to a 5.25-inch
drive bay.
• Mounting screws
• Seagate Backup Exec software (on CD)
• This installation sheet
• Printed installation manual
You will need flat-bladed and Phillips screwdrivers to
complete the installation.In addition,
• If your computer has only a single IDE port,you will
need to purchase and install an ATAPI host adapter to
provide a secondary IDE port for the tape drive.
• If no drives are presently attached to your secondary IDE
port,you will probably need to purchase a 40-pin IDE
interface cable for your tape drive.

Step 2: Configure the drive
If your tape drive will be the only device on the SCSI cable,you do not have
to change the default settings.Skip ahead to step 3.
If thereare other SCSI devices on the same cable with your tape drive,you
may need to configure the drive by changing jumper or dip-switch settings.
a)a)
a)a)
a) Set the SCSI ID number for the tape drive.You can assign the drive any
SCSI ID number that is not being used by another SCSI device (SCSI IDs 0
and 7 may be used by your hard drive and SCSI controller, respectively).
This tape drive is configured at the factory for SCSI ID 4.To change the
SCSI ID, set the jumpers on the SCSI jumper block,as shown at far left.
b)b)
b)b)
b) Check SCSI termination.This tape drive is shipped with active SCSI
termination enabled. If the drive is the last or only device on the SCSI
cable,you do not have to change this setting.If any devices are attached
to the SCSI cable after the tape drive,you must disable SCSI termination
on the tape drive by removing the termination jumper,as shown at far
left.
Step 3: Mount the drive
a)a)
a)a)
a) If you are mounting the tape drive in a 3.5-inch drive bay,skip to step
3bbelow. If you are mounting the drive in a 5.25-inch drive bay,attach
mounting brackets to each side of the drive.

b) Slide the drive into an unused drive bay until the bezel is flush with the
front of the computer. Attach the drive using four mounting screws.
Step 4:Attach the SCSI cable
Look inside your computer to find your SCSI host adapter and SCSI
interface cable.Attach the tape drive to the unused connector nearest
the end of the SCSI cable (see figure at left).Make sure that pin 1 on the
cable (indicated by a stripe) is attached to pin 1 on the host adapter and
on the drive.
Step 5:Attach the power cable
Locate an unused 4-pin power cable and attach it to the drive as shown at
left. If all the power cables in your computer are being used,you can pur-
chase aY-shaped power cable from your computer dealer.
