The Easiest Way to Install Your Drive
DiscWizard  is Seagate’s exclusive Windows program that is included with
your drive for easy drive installation. You can use this software if you
already have a bootable hard drive in your computer and you are running
Windows 98 or Windows 95.
Run DiscWizard before installing your drive for customized step-by-step
instructions for your system.
To run DiscWizard:
•
Select Run from the Windows Start menu and type x:\setup, where x is
the drive letter of your diskette or CD-ROM.
If you cannot run DiscWizard, follow the instructions on this installation
sheet to install and configure your drive.
What You Need
• Phillips screwdriver and four 6-32 UNC drive mounting screws
•
A standard 40-pin ATA interface cable, or an 80-conductor cable to run
Ultra ATA 66 (max length: 18 inches)
•
An unused drive power cable for your new drive
Ultra ATA/66 Requirements
The drive can support transfer rates up to 66 Mbytes per second in Ultra
ATA/66 mode. For your drive to run in this mode you need the following:
•
A computer that supports UDMA modes 3 and 4
•
A 40-pin 80-conductor cable (available from your dealer)
•
A software utility to activate Ultra ATA/66. Seagate provides a utility called
UATA66.exe that is included on your CD, or you can download it from our
Web site at www.seagate.com.
• The Windows 98 operating system
Handling Precautions
Disc drives are extremely fragile. Do not drop or jar the drive.
Keep the drive in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.
Protect your drive from static discharge by wearing a grounded
wrist strap throughout the installation process.
Always handle the drive by the edges or frame.
Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit board or the
top of the drive.
Setting the Jumpers
Refer to the jumper settings below to configure the drive for your system.

compatible slave
Master or single-drive
•
Master or single-drive: The drive is shipped configured for a master
or a single-drive with a jumper set on pins 7 and 8.
•
Drive is slave: To configure the drive as a slave, or second drive on
the cable, remove all the jumpers.
•
Master with non-ATA compatible slave: Use this setting if the slave
drive is not recognized. Configure the master drive with a jumper set on
pins 5 and 6 and pins 7 and 8 to enable this option.
• Alternate capacity jumper: Use this jumper only if your system
cannot recognize drives with capacities greater than 2.1 Gbytes.
Attaching Cables and Mounting the Drive
1. Attach one end of the drive interface cable to the interface connector
on your computer’s motherboard (see your computer manual for
connector locations).
! Caution. Align pin 1 on the motherboard connector with pin 1 on
your drive connector. Pin 1 is marked by a stripe on one side of the
cable.

Note. If you are using a 40-pin 80-conductor
cable, attach the blue connector to the
motherboard, the black connector to the
master drive, and the grey connector
to the slave.
2. Attach the interface connector and the power connector to the drive.

Note. You can mount the drive in any orientation. Usually it is mounted
with the circuit board down.
3. Secure the drive in the computer using four 6-32 UNC mounting
screws in either the side-mounting or bottom-mounting holes. Insert
the screws no more than 0.22 inch (5.58 mm) into the bottom-mounting
holes and no more than 0.20 inch (5.0 mm) into the side-mounting
holes.
! Caution. Do not overtighten the screws or use metric screws. This
may damage the drive.
Configuring the BIOS
For your computer to recognize your new drive, configure your
computer’s BIOS as follows:
1. Run the system setup program.
2. Enable LBA mode and UDMA mode, if available.
3. Select the auto-detect option. If this is not available, select “User-
defined drive type” and enter the CHS (cylinder, head, sectors)
parameters for your drive from the table listed below.
4. Save and exit the system setup program.
