[. . . ] · Drive electronics are 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. [. . . ] You can configure your bus with another device on the end if you remove termination from the host adapter. 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 LW Models Single-ended I/O HDA Pin 1 Forces single-ended operation. Allows the host to select either single-ended or LVD operation. J2 Pin 1 (default) J6 Reserved LR E EA A A A DS32 10 Delay Motor Start (valid only if the Remote Motor Start jumper is not connected). Format the drive The drive has been low level formatted at the factory. You do not need to perform another low level format on this drive unless you decide to perform certain diagnostics through the host adapter. If you do decide to perform a low level format, do not abort the format as this is likely to make the drive inoperable. A low level format, with verify turned on, may take two hours. Protect against power failure or other power interruptions during the format. Turn on DC power to the host system and 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. 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 36LP 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. [. . . ] Verify that the drive is enabled by the SCSI host adapter setup utility. · FDISK does not detect the drive. Run the FDISK program located on your Windows startup diskette. Type fdisk/status to verify that your hard drive is present.
