The easiest way to install your drive
DiscWizard is Seagate’s exclusive Win-
dows program, which makes it easy to install
your Medalistdrive.
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 com-
puters to access the full capacity of large hard 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 98
or Windows 95.
If you can run DiscWizard, follow the instructions on the
DiscWizard diskette or CD to install your drive. If you need addi-
tional 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,
or
an 80-conductor cable to run Ultra ATA 66
(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 Seagatedisc 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 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 6.
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 7 and 8 (see Figure 1 on page 5).
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 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
or
HDD
on your motherboard. See your computer manual for
connector locations.
Note. If you are running Ultra DMA mode 3 or mode 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.
