What you need
•Straight-edge and Phillips screwdrivers
•Four 6-32 UNC drive mounting screws
•An ATA host adapter and interface cable (max length: 18
inches) with enough connectors for all your drives
•An unused drive power cable for your new drive
•A bootable DOS system diskette (Seagate recommends using
DOS Version 5.0 or later.)
•If you are mounting this 3.5-inch drive in a 5.25-inch drive bay,
you need a mounting adapter or frame kit. Also, you may need
drive mounting rails if your drive bay is not designed for direct
mounting.
Before you begin
•Make sure your computer is turned off before you open the
case.
•Read the handling precautions following and inspect the drive
to make sure that it is not damaged.
•Save your foam-lined Seagatedisc drive box. Seagate has
approved this box for shipping a Seagate disc drive. Using any
other container or packing material voids your drive warranty.

Handling precautions
Disc drives are extremely fragile. Do not drop or jar
your drive.
Keep the drive in its antistatic bag until you are
ready to install it.
Protect your drive from static discharge by making
sure you are well grounded before touching the
drive. We recommend wearing a grounded wrist
strap throughout the installation process. Do not
touch the connectors or any part of the printed cir-
cuit board.
Always handle the drive by its edges or frame.
Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit
board or the top of the drive.

Master/slave jumpers
If your new Seagatedrive will be the only drive in your computer,
you do not have to change any jumper settings. In this case, skip
ahead to “Attaching Cables and Mounting the Drive,” on page 5.
If you already have one hard drive in your computer and you are
installing a second drive, you must configure one drive as a mas-
ter and the other as a slave.
To configure the drive as a master or one drive only:
•Place a jumper on pins 5 and 6 (see Figure 1 on page 4).
The master drive usually defaults to being the “boot” drive
(drive C), from which the computer loads system software
when it first starts up.
To configure the drive as a slave:
•Remove all the jumpers.
•If you need to change the jumpers on your existing hard drive,
see the Disk Manager online manual, look on the drive label,
or contact the drive manufacturer.

Attaching cables and mounting the drive
1. If you are attaching a new ATA interface cable to a single
drive, attach one end of the cable to the interface connector
on your host adapter or motherboard. Motherboard connec-
tors can be identified by the IDE or HDD 40-pin connector.
The ATA cable must be no more than 18 inches (457 mm)
long.
2. Thread the interface cable through the drive bay and attach
the connector at the end of the interface cable to your new
drive.
Note. If you have two drives, attach the second drive to the sec-
ond connector.
Figure 2. Attaching the cables
Caution. To avoid possible damage to your system,
make sure to align pin 1 on the host adapter or mother-
board with pin 1 on your drive or drives. Pin 1 on the
interface cable is usually indicated by a stripe along the
edge of the cable.

Figure 3. Mounting screws
3. You can mount the drive in any orientation. Usually it is
mounted with the circuit board down.
4. Slide the drive carefully into the drive bay. Secure the drive
with four 6-32 UNC mounting screws in either the side-
mounting holes or the 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. To avoid possible damage to the drive, do not
overtighten the screws or use metric screws.
