HANDLE WITH CARE!

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 circuit 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.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

•

Straight-edge and Phillips screwdrivers

•

Drive mounting screws

•

If you are mounting this 3.5-inch drive in a 5.25-inch

drive bay, you need a mounting adapter or frame kit.

•

You may need drive mounting rails if your drive bay

is not designed for direct mounting.

•

A drive host adapter and connector cable with

enough connectors for all your drives

•

An unused drive power cable to plug into your

new drive

•

A bootable DOS system diskette (Seagate

recommends using DOS Version 5.0 or later.)

•

A blank 1.2-Mbyte or 1.4-Mbyte diskette for

transferring the drive-support software to after you

have mounted the drive

2 Attach a power

cable to each

drive as

shown.

MOUNTING THE DRIVE

You can mount the drive in any orientation. Secure the

drive with four 6-32 UNC-2A mounting screws not more

than six full turns into the drive frame in either the side

mounting holes or the bottom mounting holes. Do not

overtighten. Do not use metric screws. After mounting

the drive, replace the computer cover.

If you are mounting the drive in a 5.25-inch drive bay,

you need a mounting adapter or frame kit. Contact your

computer dealer. Some computers may also require

drive mounting rails, which can be obtained from your

distributor or computer manufacturer.

ATTACHING CABLES

1 Attach one end of the 40-pin drive interface cable to

the interface connector on your computer or host

adapter as shown below. After threading the cable

through the drive bay, attach your drive or drives to

one of the connectors on the interface cable.

Caution. Make sure to align pin 1 of the

computer’s interface connector or the

host adapter with pin 1 of your drive or

drives.

INSTALLING YOUR NEW SEAGATE HARD DRIVE

Thank you for selecting a Seagate hard drive. Installing

your new Seagate hard drive is easy when you use this

easy drive-installation sheet. For technical information

and troubleshooting tips, see the back of this sheet. If

you have additional questions, call your computer dealer

or contact Seagate technical support.

This symbol indicates additional information on the

back of this sheet.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Important. Do not format this drive

without first reading the instructions and

removing the free drive-support software

that is stored on the drive.

•

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.

3. CONFIGURING SETUP

You must configure the computer to recognize the full

capacity of your drive. If your BIOS cannot access the

full capacity of the drive and you choose to use Disk

Manager, you can leave the hard drive parameters you

used for transferring the software file in Setup. Go to

Section 4A “Installation with Disk Manager Software.”

Disk Manager will install its software driver, Dynamic

Drive Overlay (DDO), to make the drive’s full capacity

available.

If your BIOS can accept more than 528 Mbytes, use the

steps below to configure the BIOS. Many BIOSs use

logical block addressing (LBA) mode to access drives

with capacities greater than 528 Mbytes. Check your

documentation for this feature.

1 Turn your computer on and enter Setup.

2 Enable LBA mode if it is available.

3 Locate the hard disc configuration settings.

4 If your Setup has an Auto option, select it. Save and

exit Setup. The computer automatically determines

the drive parameters and configures Setup.

If there is no Auto option and LBA mode is enabled,

select user-defined or custom, and enter the LBA

parameters shown for your drive in the table. If

Setup does not accept all of the LBA parameters,

4B. STANDARD PARTITIONING AND FORMATTING

Caution. Partitioning or formatting a

drive erases all of the data on it. Seagate

assumes no liability if you erase your

data. Before you partition or format the

drive, be sure to transfer the free

software files stored on the drive at the

factory.

Drive Partitioning

1 Insert a bootable DOS diskette in Drive A and boot

your computer.

2 At the A: prompt, type fdisk and press

ENTER.

Note. If you have two drives installed,

the menu displays five options. Option

five allows you to select the drive you

want to partition. Make sure you select

the correct drive.

3 Type 1 for “Create DOS partition or logical DOS

drive” and press

ENTER.

4A. INSTALLATION WITH DISK MANAGER SOFTWARE

1 Boot your computer with the Seagate software

diskette. This is a precaution to ensure that the Disk

Manager installation does not conflict with any

terminate-and-stay resident programs that may load

into memory.

2 At the DOS prompt, type dm and press

ENTER.

3 Follow the screen instructions until the Select an

Install Option dialog box appears. Select (E)asy Disk

Installation and press

ENTER. This puts a single

partition and a quick format on the drive.

4 Verify that the drive model number appears on the

screen. If you have two drives, both model numbers

must appear. Select the drive you want to install and

press

ENTER. Disk Manager partitions and formats

the drive and makes it bootable if it is Drive C.

If the model number is not shown, exit Disk

Manager and turn off the computer. Check all cables

and jumper settings. Try again.

5 Follow the instructions in the post-installation

screens.

ACCESSING MORE THAN 528 MBYTES

The full capacity of your drive exceeds the maximum

capacity many older computers can address. If your

computer’s BIOS was manufactured before June of

1994, it may not be able to access more than 528

Mbytes. Several options are available for surpassing the

528-Mbyte barrier. We recommend the following:

1 Use a hard drive controller or a BIOS upgrade that

supports drives with capacities greater than 528

Mbytes,

2 Use the free Disk Manager software stored on your

Seagate drive to install the drive.

Caution. You must transfer the

replacement 32-bit disk access driver for

Windows 3.1, the free Disk Manager

software and the other software stored

on the drive to a diskette in Drive A

before you partition and format the drive.

Instructions for transferring the software

are provided in Section 2, “Transferring

the Free Seagate Software.”

To make a bootable diskette and transfer the files:

1 Turn your computer on and enter Setup. See your

computer or motherboard reference manual for

instructions on how to enter Setup. It may be called

System Setup, BIOS Setup or CMOS Setup.

2 Locate the hard disc configuration settings.

3 Select user-defined or custom, and configure the

drive for 615 cylinders, 4 heads and 17 sectors

(Drive-type 2). Save and exit Setup.

4 Immediately insert your DOS diskette into Drive A.

5 At the A prompt, type format a: /s and press

ENTER.

The /s switch makes the new diskette bootable.

6 The computer reads the DOS diskette and prompts

you to insert a blank diskette into Drive A when it is

ready to format the new diskette.

7 When the format is complete, reboot the computer

with the new diskette.

8 Access the prompt assigned for your new Seagate

drive.

9 Type seamove. Seamove transfers the files from the

drive to your diskette. It erases the partition and the

files when the transfer is complete. We refer to this

diskette as the Seagate software diskette.

If the BIOS cannot accept your drive’s geometry,

Disk Manager installs a software driver, Dynamic

Drive Overlay (DDO), that allows the computer to

access your drive’s full capacity. Read the Important

Information—Please Read screen carefully; it tells

you how to boot with a diskette when your drive

requires the Disk Manager software driver.

If your computer requires DDO to access your new

Seagate drive, the Disk Manager banner must appear

when you boot the computer after installing the drive. If

the banner does not appear, the computer will not

recognize the drive. Make sure that Drive A is empty

when you boot. Try again.

YOU’RE DONE!

4 Type 1 and press ENTER to “Create primary DOS

partition.” Type yes and press

ENTER. This puts the

entire drive on one partition and makes the partition

active. When the partitioning is complete, FDISK

reboots your computer.

Drive Formatting

At the A: prompt, type format d: /s, where d is the letter

of your new hard drive (DOS automatically assigns a

letter for each partition you create).

Caution. Make sure that you use the

correct drive letter. All data on the drive

is erased during the format.

When the formatting completes, your drive is ready.

YOU’RE DONE!

2. T

RANSFERRING THE FREE SEAGATE SOFTWARE

The factory stores free software files on the drive that

1) allow your computer to access the drive’s full

capacity when the 528-Mbyte barrier is imposed; 2) you

can use to partition and format the drive; and 3) provide

information on other Seagate products. Transfer these

files to a blank, bootable diskette in Drive A before you

partition and format the drive. You need two diskettes if

you want all of the files. The software programs are:

SEG32BIT.386. A replacement 32-bit disk access driver

for Windows 3.1 that provides full support for drives

with capacities greater than 528 Mbytes in Windows.

Disk Manager. Installation software that partitions and

formats your drive and installs a software driver to

surpass the 528-Mbyte barrier if necessary.

DRVINF11. A program that reads an installed ATA drive

and displays the drive’s major features.

Seamove. Transfers the above software programs to a

diskette in Drive A and erases the factory partition and

format after the files are transferred.

STDR9511.EXE. The Seagate Technical Desk Reference

is a Windows application that contains information on

other Seagate products. You must copy this file to a

separate diskette using the standard copy command

before you use Seamove to transfer the other files.

1. ONE DRIVE OR TWO?

Your Seagate drive is factory-configured to operate as a

single drive or as the master drive with an ATA-

compatible slave. To make the drive the slave, place a

jumper on pins 7 and 8 of the options jumper block

shown below.

The options jumper block also lets you configure the

drive to work with computers that use cable-select

interconnection and provides options you can try if the

computer does not recognize the slave after startup.

These options are shown in the drawing and are

discussed on the back of this poster.
