SATA Internal Hard Drive2

Welcome to the Serial interface

Seagate®Serial ATA (SATA) disk drives are

designed for easy installation. Unlike other

interfaces, there is no need to set jumpers or

determine master/slave relationships between

drives on cumbersome ribbon cables. The

jumper block next to the data connector is

used to force 150MB transfer modes on legacy

chipsets. For more information, see page 6.

SATA drives can be used in the same system

with Parallel ATA (PATA) drives as long as

both interfaces are supported. With the SATA

interface, each disk drive has it’s own cable

that connects directly to a SATA port on your

motherboard or to an add-in PCI, (PCI-E, or

PCI-X) host adapter.

For future reference, please record the drive

label information in the spaces below:

Installation Guide 3

Get started

Gather your materials

Gather your tools

Note: Installing drives larger than 137GB have specic

hardware and operating system requirements to achieve

full capacity and prevent data loss please review the

requirements on page 8.

Open your computer case

See your computer manual for instructions.

1 Turn your computer off.

2 Unplug your system from the wall outlet.

3 Remove the cover from the system.

4 Attach a grounding strap to your wrist and

the system case or touch a metal portion of

the case to discharge any potential static

electricity stored in your body.

Note: Refer to your

computer manual

for instructions on

removing the cover,

or seek the services

of a qualied computer

technician.

Install the drive

Mount the drive in a 3.5-inch device bay

with the label facing up and in front of a fan

whenever possible.

If your system doesn’t have an available

3.5-inch bay, you can purchase brackets from

your local computer store that allow your drive

to be placed in an empty 5.25-inch bay.

Note: For ease of

installation, some

systems may require

you to connect the

power and data cables

before mounting the

drive in the device bay.

Attach the cables

Attach cables to your new drive

Note: Do not disturb the power and interface cables that are

attached to your existing drive.

Attach the SATA interface and power-adapter

cables as shown. Connect either end of the

interface cable to the drive. Both data and

power adapters have keyed connections. Please

ensure proper orientation before connecting the

cables.

3Gb/sec SATA drive connected to a

1.5Gb/sec SATA card or motherboard

Older 1.5Gb/sec SATA motherboards and

host controllers equipped with VIA, VT8237,

VT8237R, VT6420, VT6421L, SIS760, and

SIS964 do not support auto speed negotiation

with newer 3.0Gbit drives. Systems with these

chipsets will hang, lock-up, or fail to detect

during boot.

Applying a jumper to the outer-most pins of the

jumper block will force the drive into the 1.5Gb/

sec transfer mode – allowing it to function on

the above mentioned chipsets.

6Gb/sec SATA drive connected to a

1.5Gb/sec or 3.0Gb/sec SATA card or

motherboard

Barracuda drives with 6Gb/sec SATA are

designed for easy installation. It is usually not

necessary to set any jumpers on the drive

for proper operation; however, if you connect

the drive and receive a “drive not detected”

error, your SATA-equipped motherboard or

host adapter may use a chipset that does not

support SATA speed autonegotiation.

Attach power and SATA data cables

1 Locate an available SATA port on your

motherboard or add-in SATA card and

connect one end of the data cable.

2 Connect the other end of the data cable to

the rear of the hard drive.

3 Connect the 15-pin SATA power connector

to the drive and power supply.

Installation Guide 7

Make sure your computer detects

your drive at start up

If your new drive connects directly to your

motherboard and is not automatically detected

at start up, you may need to run the System

Setup (BIOS) program to enable the SATA ports.

Entering setup is generally achieved by pressing

DEL, ESC, or the F2 key during startup.

Please refer to the documentation supplied with

your system or motherboard to enable the SATA

ports in the system BIOS.

If your new drive connects to an add-in SATA

card, there is no need to enter the system BIOS

to enable SATA disk detection. The add-in card

will automatically detect the drive at start up.

Install DiscWizard

Insert the Seagate Disk Utility CD into your

CD-ROM drive. If the main menu screen does

not appear automatically, browse to your

CD-ROM drive letter and click on restart le.

Hardware and software requirements

for drives larger than 137GB

To properly address the full capacity of drives

larger than 137GB, your system must support

48-bit BIOS and your OS must have supporting

service packs installed. Failure to meet these

requirements will result in data loss when storing

data to the drive beyond 137GB.

Check your OS version by referencing the

printed label on the Installation CD or right-click

the My Computer icon on your desktop and

select the Properties option.

The general tab will display the OS version and

service pack info.

Windows 2000 SP3 and higher

Macintosh OS X 10.2 or newer

Linux Please reference the web site

Note: For more information about Windows limitations,

pleasevisittheMicrosoftKnowledgeBaseandreview

the following documents: Q303013 for Windows XP and

Q305098 for Windows 2000. Windows XP Media Center and

XP tablet PC already include Service Pack 1 and 48-bit LBA

support. Windows 2000 requires the registry to be edited

after Service Pack 3 is installed. Failure to add the registry

patch will result in data loss when accessing the drive

beyond 137GB.

SATA host drivers

All SATA hosts support 48-bit BIOS and require

drivers that will allow the hard drive to be seen

by the OS. During the installation, your OS will

request mass storage drivers.

The drivers can usually be found on a CD or

web site of the system, motherboard, or add-in

SATA host manufacturer. Be sure to have the

latest drivers available for your OS during the

installation process.

SATA Internal Hard Drive10

Single drive installation

Before you start: DiscWizard is not needed

for this operation. The Windows 2000 and XP

operating systems require SATA host drivers

for embedded motherboards and add-in SATA

host adapter cards to be loaded from a oppy

(diskette) drive. The SATA drivers are usually

contained on the CD that came with your

motherboard or add-in SATA host adapter.

Please extract the drivers to a diskette before

you start the installation. Windows Vista will

allow SATA host drivers to be installed directly

from a CD.

1 First, connect the drive according to the

instructions on page 5.

2 Boot your system to the Windows 7/Vista/

XP, or 2000 CD. If you’re having trouble

booting to the Windows CD, you may need to

change the boot sequence in the system BIOS.

3 When prompted by Windows to install a third

party SCSI or RAID driver, press the “F6” key

then the “S” key when, prompted, to specify

additional devices.

4 Insert the SATA driver diskette or CD and

press enter.

5 Follow the on-screen instructions to nish

installing Windows.

Install additional storage drive

1 Install the drive according to the instructions

on page 4.

2 Boot into Windows 7/Vista/XP, or 2000.

3 Install the DiscWizard software.

4 Choose the Add New Disk option to format

the drive.

Note: Formatting can also be completed by using the

Windows Disk Management Utility in the Control Panel.

For more information, see the support documentation

on the utility CD.

Note: These

instructions assume

that you have one

existing SATA drive

which you will continue

to use as the boot

drive, and that you

are adding your

new Seagate SATA

drive to your PC for

additional storage and

performance.
