The easiest way to install your drive

DiscWizardis Seagate’s exclusive Win-

dows program 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 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 3.

or Windows 95.

If you can run DiscWizard

, follow the instructions on the

DiscWizard diskette 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

•An ATA interface cable (max length: 18 inches) with

available 40-pin connector.

•An unused drive power cable for your new drive

•A bootable system diskette

•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 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.

Medalist 4342, 3232 and 2122, Rev. C 3

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.

One drive or two?

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 5 and 6 (see Figure 1 on page 5).

The master drive will be 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 installing a new ATA interface cable, attach one end

of the cable to the interface connector on your computer or

host adapter. The ATA cable must be no more than 18 inches

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. If you have two drives, attach the second drive to the

second connector.

Figure 2. Attaching the cables

Caution. To avoid damaging the connector pins, make

sure to align pin 1 on the computer or host adapter 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.
