The easiest way to install your drive

DiscWizardis Seagate’s exclusive Win-

dows program, provided on a diskette, that

makes it easy to install your Medalistdrive.

DiscWizard helps you configure your new

drive and your computer. It analyzes your

system, lets you select various installation

options and creates customized step-by-

step instructions. It also allows older computers to access the full

capacity of large-capacity drives.

You can run DiscWizard to install your new hard drive if:

•You already have an existing, bootable hard drive in your com-

puter with at least 3 Mbytes of available disc space,

and

•You are running Windows 95

or Windows 98.

If you can run DiscWizard, follow the instructions on the

DiscWizard diskette to install your drive. If you need additional

information, refer to this installation guide.

If you cannot run DiscWizard, follow the instructions in this

installation guide to install and configure your new drive.

What you need

•Straight-edge and Phillips screwdrivers

•Four 6-32 UNC drive mounting screws

•A standard 40-pin ATA interface cable,

an 80-conductor cable if your system runs Ultra DMA mode 3

or 4 (max length: 18 inches)

•An unused drive power cable for your new drive

Before you begin

•Make sure your computer is turned off before you open the

case.

•Read the handling precautions at the right and inspect the

drive to make sure that it is not damaged.

•Save your foam-lined Seagatedisc drive box. This box has

been approved by Seagate 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 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.

Note. 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.

To configure the drive as a master or one drive only:

•The drive is configured at the factory for a master or single-

drive operation with a jumper set on pins 7 and 8.

Note. The master drive usually defaults to being the “boot” drive

(drive C), from which the computer loads system soft-

ware when it first starts up.

To configure the drive as a slave:

•Remove the jumper to configure the drive as a slave.

Attaching cables and mounting the drive

1. If you are attaching an ATA (IDE) interface cable to a single

drive, attach one end of the cable to the interface connector

on your motherboard. Most computers provide two IDE con-

nectors, primary and secondary, usually labeled as

IDE

HDD

on your motherboard. See your computer manual for

connector locations.

Note. If you are running Ultra DMA mode 3 or 4, you must use a

special 40-pin 80-conductor cable or these modes will not

be enabled. For information on how to obtain this cable,

contact your dealer.

Figure 2. Attaching the cables

2. Thread the interface cable through the drive bay and attach

the connector at the end of the interface cable to your new

drive (the maximum ATA cable length is 18 inches (457 mm)

long).
