• Install the drive in an enclosure that limits the user's access to live parts, gives
adequate system stability, and provides the necessary grounding for the drive.
• Provide the correct voltages (+5V DC and +12V DC) based on the regulation
applied—Extra Low Voltage (SEC) for UL and CSA and Safety Extra Low
Voltage for BSI and VDE (if applicable).
Installation
This chapter explains how to install the Seagate STT3401A and STT2401A drives. It
also describes how to set the master/slave jumpers and presents details of the
drive's power and ATAPI interface connectors.

Before you begin

Handling guidelines

Because the drive's electronic components can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge, use an electrostatic grounding strap when handling the drive. This strap
prevents an electrostatic discharge from damaging the electronic components on or
in the drive unit.
If you do not have an electrostatic grounding strap, perform the installation at a
static-safe workstation. If one is not available, follow these guidelines as you install
the drive unit:
• Work in an uncarpeted area.
• To protect the drive from static electricity, DO NOT remove the drive from its
anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
• Before you remove the drive from the anti-static bag, touch a metal or grounded
surface to discharge any static electricity buildup from your body.
Caution: If you touch static-sensitive parts of the drive (such as the printed circuit
board) electronic components may be damaged.
• Hold the drive by the edges only. Avoid direct contact with any printed circuit
board.
• Lay the drive only on top of its anti-static bag or return the drive to its bag when
you need to lay the drive down.

Setting jumpers

In ATAPI systems, where two devices attached to a single interface cable, one of the
drives must be configured as "master" and the other must be configured as "slave."
In some cases, the assignment of master and slave can be made using a special
cable, as long as the devices provide a "cable select" setting.
