Introduction

Thank you for choosing a Seagate® drive. The purpose of this

guide is to assist you with installing your new hard drive. Its

organization outlinesthecomplete installation process from han-

dling the drive and drive application in Before you begin... to

offering troubleshooting suggestions andtechnical support infor-

mation. The topics discusses are:

•Handling your drive (see Before you begin...)

•Configuring the drive

•Attaching cables to the drive

•Mounting the drive

•Configuring the computer

•Troubleshooting

•Where to call for Seagate technical support

Seagate provides installation software, EZ-Drive, and a 32-bit

disk access driver for Windows, SEG32BIT.386, that allows the

computer to surpass the 528-Mbyte barrier when it is imposed.

The software is stored on the drive and must be transferred to a

diskette in Drive A before you partition and format the drive. A

program called Seamove is provided to make the transfer easy.

We hope your installation goes smoothly, but if complications

arise,alistofcommon symptomsandsolutionsisprovidedinthe

troubleshooting section. If the problem persists, contact your

dealerfirst.Your dealerisfamiliarwith systemintegrationandthe

conflicts that arise. If you need additional help or information

about Seagate products, Seagate technical supportnumbers are

provided.

Before you begin...

Note. Throughout this manualtheMedalist 1270is referred to by

its model number, ST31270A.

Drive handling. Your drive is vulnerable to damage from rough

handling and static discharge. Do not drop your drive. Do not

remove the seals and labels on the drive. The drive warranty is

voided if the seals and labels are removed.

Static discharge. Your drive contains components that can be

damaged by static discharge. Static damage can be cumulative

and may not manifest immediately. Observe the following pre-

cautions:

•Ground yourself before handling the drive. Wear a ground

strap that is properly connected to earth ground, or touch the

metal of a powersupply that is plugged into a walloutlet while

handling the drive.

•Keep the drivein its antistaticbag until you are ready to install

it. Do not attach any cables to the drive while it is in its bag.

•Handle the drive gently and only by its edges or frame. Place

it on an antistatic surface until you are ready to install it.

or dealer immediately.

Warranty. The drive comes with a three-year limited warranty.

Note. WithregardstotheEZ-DriveandSEG32BIT.386software,

there are no warranties, express or implied, including, but

Warning. Turn off the computer before you remove its cover.

Turn off the power before you install or remove any

adapter card or the drive.

Caution. Special training or tools may be required to service

laptop computers. Removing the cover may void your

warranty. Review the terms and conditions of your

warranty before removing the cover.

Configuring the drive

Required materials:

•0.100-inch jumper connectors (supplied as spare jumpers)

Your Seagate drive is configured using the optionsjumper 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 jumperto the pinson 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

pins5and7toconfigurethedrive.Thesesettingsarenotused

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 thedrive

is the first of two drives in your system. The master drive is

drive 0 in the System Setup record.

Slave.Use this configuration if thedriveis theseconddrivein

the system. The slave is drive 1 in the System Setup record.

Master/slave timing protocol. This protocol involves the

communication between the computer and the disc drives

during the power-on cycle only. The computer queries the

master drive for the status of both drives. The slave must

report its status to the master within a certain time period. If it

does not respond in time or if it uses a response signal that

the master does not acknowledge, the master tells the host

that the slave has timed out, and the computer does not

recognize the slave. The Seagate driveis shipped configured

to work with other drives that comply with the ATA-standard

master/slave timing protocol.

This setting allows the Seagate drive in the slave position to

respond tosome drivesthat usea differentprotocol. Try using

this setting if the slave is not identified after power-on.

Dual-drive emulation. This feature allows you to make the

most of the BIOS limitation by making the drive two logical

drives for the computer. Eachlogicaldrive is assigned a drive

type in SystemSetup using the maximum translation geome-

try values the BIOS allows. Each logical drive must be parti-

tioned and formatted. A second, physical drive cannot be

attached totheharddisccontroller.Youcannotusedual-drive

emulation with cable select.

Cable-select. Use this configuration if your computer uses

cable-select.

Remote LED. If your computer uses a remote drive-activity

LED, place the ground wire side of the connector, usually the

black wire, on pin13 (–) and the other sideon pin14 (+) ofthe

options jumper block. The LED can be damaged if the cable

is attached incorrectly.

The options jumper block accepts a 0.100-inch connector. It
