Seagate ST32161A warranty Installation Procedure, Jumper Settings

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1.Turn off the computer and all attached peripheral equipment, such as printers and monitors.

2.Remove the screws attaching the computer’s cover, and remove the cover from the system.

3.Remove the drive from the ESD (electrostatic discharge) shielded bag, and carefully place it on a padded work surface.

4.Configure the drive jumpers as necessary. Refer to the jumper settings section below for details.

5.Connect the cables; align the colored striped edge of the interface cable to pin 1 of the drive ATA interface connector.

6.Partially insert the drive into the drive bay. Select an unused power connector from the power supply and connect it to the drive. If there are no unused power connections on the power supply, you can purchase a “Y” cable adapter from your dealer. This connector will allow you to add another power connection for your new drive.

7.After you have set the jumpers and attached interface and power cables to the drive, secure the drive in the computer with four 6-32x.25 screws.

CAUTION: Do not use screws of excess length when attaching the drive. Damage to the drive’s circuit board could result. The maximum insertion in bottom holes is 0.25”, the maximum insertion for side holes is 0.125”.

8.All Seagate ATA disc drives are low-level formatted at the factory. It is only necessary to run your system's CMOS Setup program, then partition and high-level format the drive.

JUMPER SETTINGS

Master/Slave (C/D) Jumpers

•Single-drive system or master (C:) drive in a dual drive system: Install jumper on pins 1 and 2 (default).

•Slave (D:) drive in a dual-drive system: Remove jumper from pins 1 and 2

Capacity (A/C) Jumpers

As shipped from the factory, the ST32161A is set for 4,095 cylinders or 2.113 Gbytes. Some system BIOS' cannot support drives having more than 4,095 cylinders. If this limit is exceeded, the system may lock up or fail to boot. Consult your system manual or the BIOS manufacturer for cylinder limitations. If your system BIOS allows for more than 4,095 cylinders, you may remove the jumper from pins 3 and 4 to obtain a drive capacity of 2.147 Gbytes. The two configura- tions are summarized in the table below.

A/C Jumper	Heads	Cyl.	Sectors	Capacity*
Installed (default):	16	4095	63	2,113 Mbytes
Removed:	16	4160	63	2,147 Mbytes
*1 Mbyte = 1,000,000 Bytes
Cable Select (CS) Jumpers
(Refer to your system manual for use of this function)
Disabled (default):	Remove jumper pins 5 and 6 (CS)
Enabled:	Jumper pins 5 and 6

9.CMOS (BIOS) Setup:

If your system CMOS has LBA support (check your system owner's manual), go to step 9a. If your computer or drive host adapter supports drives larger than 528 Mbytes (check your system manual), go to step 9b. If the system BIOS and the adaptor do not support large drives, go to step 9c.

a.Run your BIOS or System setup program and enable LBA drive addressing. Save this change and reboot the computer. The drive is now ready for partitioning and high-level formatting. Proceed to step 10 for DOS formatting.

b.Run your BIOS or System setup program and enable the translation feature. Check the adaptor manual for specific instructions on setting the system BIOS for large drives. Save your changes and reboot the computer. The drive is now ready for partitioning and high level formatting. Proceed to step 10 for DOS formatting.

c.If the system BIOS and or the adaptor BIOS do not support large drives, you will need to use EZ-Drive®. Insert the EZ- Drive diskette into the A: drive and type EZ <ENTER>. Follow the screen prompts to configure the drive. On-line help is available on the EZ-Drive drive diskette. After the installation is complete, read the help sections on booting from a floppy diskette and creating a rescue diskette. When EZ-Drive has finished, the drive is ready to use. If you plan to use the drive to boot your computer, install your operating system. Refer to your operating system manual for detailed instructions.

10.If you did not use EZ-Driveto install the drive, use the DOS FDISK command (version 4.01 or higher) to partition the drive. Use the DOS FORMAT command to high level format the drive. See your DOS manual for detailed instructions). After formatting, the new drive is ready to use.
