Configuring the drive

Required materials:

0.100-inch jumper connectors (supplied as spare jumpers)

Your Seagate drive is configured using the options jumper block shown in Figure 1 on page 6. You can configure the drive:

For one- or two-drive operation

To be the master or slave drive

For dual-drive emulation

To operate as the master with drives that use a different master/slave timing protocol

For computers that use cable-select

To use a remote drive-activity LED

To configure the drive, attach a jumper to the pins on the options jumper block as shown in Figure 2 on page 7 for the desired option. The configuration options are:

Spare jumper. Use the spare jumpers on pins 1 and 3 and pins 5 and 7 to configure the drive. These settings are not used for drive operation.

One-drive only. Use this configuration if there are no other drives attached to the hard disc controller.

Master with slave present. Use this configuration if the drive is the first of two drives in your system. The master drive is drive 0 in the System Setup record.
