User manual MAXTOR CHEETAH X15 INSTALLATION

[. . . ] · Drive electronics are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Keep the drive in its antistatic container until you are ready to install it. Wear a wrist strap and cable connected to ground. Discharge static from all items near or that will contact the drive. [. . . ] Configure terminator power Terminators have to get power from some source. The default configuration results in the drive not supplying termination power to the bus. You should normally leave this drive set at this default unless your host system requires the drive to supply termination power to the bus. To configure this drive to supply termination power to the bus, place a jumper on J2 pins 1 and 2 as shown in Figure 2. · Host systems designed to use LC drives normally provide termination power from the host adapter or other source. For this reason, LC model drives cannot be configured to provide termination power to the bus. Drive with HDA up, PCB down, viewed from front J2 Pin 1 Pin 1 inoperable. A low level format, with verify turned on, will typically take two hours. Protect against power failure or other power interruptions during the format. Boot the system from a system floppy, CD, or from a previously installed hard disc drive if there is one. Formatting a drive erases all user data. Be sure that you understand this principle before formatting any hard disc drive. It is not necessary to format a drive that previously has been used to store data, unless your intention is to erase all user data. Seagate is not responsible for lost user data. Cheetah X15 disc drives are designed to operate with a variety of operating systems. Please refer to your system or SCSI controller manual for information about formatting and setting up the drive. Some quick desktop system notes are provided below. Set the drive type in CMOS to "Zero, " "None, " or "No hard drive installed. " Use FDISK. EXE and FORMAT. EXE. Systems using Windows 98 or later can create one single partition (drive letter) on the drive. Use a third-party drive utility (most revisions of Apple's HD Setup utility only work with drives having special Apple firmware). HDA Reserved Positions Delay Motor Start option (valid only if the Enable Motor Start jumper is not connected) Disable the Delay Motor Start option. Motor start delay equal to the SCSI ID multiplied by 12 seconds. (default) J6 Reserved LR E EA A A A DS32 10 Reserved 11 Remote LED Motor Start option 12 CATH Shipped with cover installed. Do not install jumpers on these four positions. [. . . ] Connect the DC power cable to the drive. See Figure 3.
