Note. Throughout this manual the Medalist 1080sl SCSI is

referred to by its model number, ST51080N.

Application. YourSeagate® drive is designed for IBM and IBM-

compatible personal computers, Macintosh and other systems

using the SCSI interface.

Turn off the system power before attempting any installation.

Static discharge. Observe the followingprecautions:

•Keep the drive in its static-shielded bag until you are ready to

complete theinstallation.Donotattach anycablestothedrive

while it is in its static-shielded bag.

•Handle the drive by its edges or frame, and do not touch the

I/O connector pins or the circuit board.

•Before handling any components, put on a grounded wrist

strap, or ground yourself frequently by touching the metal

chassis of a computer that is plugged into a grounded outlet.

•Use antistatic padding on all work surfaces.

•Avoid static-inducing carpeted areas.

Drive handling. The drive is extremely fragile—handle it with

care. Do not attach labels to any part of the drive.

Inspection. After you are familiar with the handling precautions

listed above, inspect the drive. If it appears to be damaged, call

your distributor or dealer immediately.

Configuring the drive

Required materials:

2-mm jumper connector (supplied as spare jumpers)

Your Seagate drive is configured for operation using the options

jumper block (J8) shown in Figure 1 on page 6. The settings for

theavailableconfigurations areshowninFigure2onpage7.The

options jumper block (J8) allows you to:

•Set the SCSI ID

•Connect a remote LED

•Enable or disable parity

•Enable or disable the drive’s terminator

•Select the termination power source

SCSI ID settings. Each device on the SCSI bus must be as-

signed a unique SCSI ID. The drive uses pin-pairs1 and 2, 3 and

4, and 5 and 6 on the options jumperblock (J8) forassigning the

ID. The chart in Figure 2 shows you how to place the jumpers to

assign ID values0 through 7. Be sure that the ID you choose is

not used by another device on the SCSI bus.

YourSeagate driveis shippedby the factory configuredas SCSI

ID 3—jumpers are attached to pins 3 and 4 and pin 5 and 6. You

must reconfigure the SCSIID if another device is assigned SCSI

ID 3 or if you are making the drive the bootable drive. The

bootable drive must be Drive C. It must be assigned the ID

number your SCSIadapterrecognizes as the first positionon the

bus. Usually, this is SCSI ID 0 (refer to your SCSI host adapter

documentation).

If installing your new drive puts more than two drives on the bus,

your SCSI adapter may require thatyou install a device driver or

that you reconfigure its onboard BIOS. Refer to your SCSI

adapter’s user guide for instructions on how to install the third

drive.If a device driver isrequired, it will beprovided bythe SCSI

adapter manufacturer.

Remote LED. You can connect a remote LED to the drive using

pins 9 and 10 on jumper block J8. Connect the LED ground wire

(usually the black wire) to pin 9.

Remote start. This setting causes the drive to wait for a specific

commandfromthehostbeforeitstartsorstopsthespindlemotor.

Parityenable.Parityisamethodthatissometimesusedforerror

detection. The drive is shippedwith parity enabled.

Terminators. The drive is designed with single-ended drivers

andreceiversandmustbeusedwithotherSCSIdevicesthatuse

single-ended drivers and receivers. These systems require that

terminators be used at both ends of the SCSI bus to ensure the

integrity of the signal. The drive has built-in terminators that can

be enabled or disabled as required. It is shipped with the termi-
