8.0 Installation
The first thing to do when installing a drive is to set the drive ID on the SCSI bus and set up (select) certain
operating options. This is usually done by installing small shorting jumpers on the pins of connector J6 on the
PCB (or J1-Auxiliary on the “W” and “WD” models), or via the drive to host I/O signals on “WC” and “DC” mod-
els. Some users connect cables to J6 or J1-Auxiliary and perform the set-up using remote switches.
For option jumper locations and definitions refer to Figures 7a, b, c and d. Drive default mode parameters are
not normally needed for installation. Refer to Section 9.3.2 for default mode parameters if they are needed.
• Ensure that the SCSI ID of the drive is not the same as the host adapter. Most host adapters use SCSI ID 7.
• If multiple devices are on the bus set the drive SCSI ID to one that is not presently used by other devices on
the bus.
• If the drive is the only device on the bus, attach it to the end of the SCSI bus cable. Permanently installed
terminators must be enabled on the drive for “N” and “W” models using jumper plug TE. On model “WC”
external terminators must be provided by the user, systems integrator or host equipment manufacturer.
• If the drive is attached to a bus that contains other devices, and the new drive is not attached to the end of
the bus, the Terminator Enable jumper (TE) should be removed from the new drive.
Note. For additional information about terminator requirements, refer to Section 9.7. Terminator power is dis-
cussed in Section 9.8.
• Set all appropriate option jumpers for desired operation prior to power on. If jumpers are changed after
power has been applied, recycle the drive power to make the new settings effective.
• Installation instructions are provided by host system documentation or with any additionally purchased drive
installation software. If necessary see Section 10.0 for Seagate support services telephone numbers.
• The manufacturer’s installed labels must not be removed from the drive or covered with additional labels, as
they contain information required when servicing the product.
Formatting
• It is not necessary to low level format this drive. The standard OEM drive is shipped from the factory low
level formatted in 512 byte sectors. Other formats must be established only at time of drive manufacturer.
• High level format the drive. This involves assigning one or more partitions or logical drives to the drive vol-
ume. Follow the instructions in the system manuals for the system into which the drive is to be installed.
8.1 Drive ID/option select header
Figures 7a through 7c show views of the drive ID select jumper connectors. Figure 7d shows the option select
jumper connector for all models. Figure 7b shows a rear view of model drives for the purpose of showing J1-
auxiliary which has a duplicate pin configuration and purpose of J6 (Figure 7a) on the rear of the drive. Both
J1-auxiliary and J6 have pins for selecting drive ID and for connecting the remote LED cable. Only one or the
other should be used, although using both at the same time would not damage the drive. The notes following
the figures describe the functions of the various jumper positions on the connectors J2, J1-Auxiliary and J6.
Suggested part numbers for the jumpers used on J2 is Molex 52747-0211 (Seagate P/N 77679052). A bag
with the two jumper plug types is shipped with the standard OEM drives.
