2.1Handling and static-discharge precautions

After unpacking, but before installation, the drive may be exposed to potential handling and ESD hazards. You must observe standard static- discharge precautions. A grounded wrist-strap is recommended.

Handle the drive only by the sides of the head/disc assembly. Avoid contact with the printed circuit board, all electronic components and the interface connector. Do not apply pressure to the top cover. Always rest the drive on a padded antistatic surface until you mount it in the host system.

2.2.1Master/slave configuration

You must establish a master/slave relationship between two drives that are attached to a single AT bus. You can configure a drive to become a master or slave by setting the master/slave jumpers, as described below and shown in Figure 2 on page 18.

Alternatively, you can configure the drive as a master or slave using the cable-select option. This requires a special daisy-chain cable that grounds pin 28 (CSEL) on one of its two drive connectors. If you attach the drive to the grounded CSEL connector, it becomes a master. If you attach the drive to the ungrounded CSEL connector, it becomes a slave. To use this option, the host system and both drives must support cable- select and both drives must be configured for cable-select. To configure Marathon drives for cable-select, install both master/slave jumpers.

For the host to recognize the slave drive using the DASP– signal, the slave drive must assert the DASP– signal at power-up, and the master drive must monitor DASP– at power-up.
