User manual SEAGATE BARRACUDA 36ES INSTALLATION

[. . . ] · Use caution when troubleshooting a unit that has voltages present. · Do not disassemble the drive; doing so voids the warranty. · Return the entire drive for depot service if any part is defective. · Do not apply pressure or attach labels to circuit board or drive top. · Most Barracuda 36ES drives are factory set with the SCSI ID set at 0. [. . . ] Do not mix LVD drives on the same bus (cable) with high voltage differential (HVD) devices­drive damage may occur. N and W model drives are not multimode devices. They are single-ended (SE) devices and cannot be configured to operate in LVD mode. Installation instructions 1. Set the SCSI ID Determine which SCSI IDs are already being used in the system and then assign this disc drive a SCSI ID that isn't already being used. Use the J6 connector located on the front of the drive to set the SCSI ID (see Figure 1). Drive with HDA up, PCB down, viewed from front J2 Pin 1 Pin 1 HDA Reserved Positions Single-ended I/O A jumper here forces single-ended I/O operation. No jumper allows host to select either single-ended or LVD operation. Delay Motor Start option (valid only if the Enable Motor Start jumper is not connected) CATH J6 Reserved LR E EA A A A DS32 10 (default) 5. 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, will typically take up to one hour. 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. Barracuda 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. [. . . ] Mount the drive to the host system's chassis using four 6-32 UNC screws. Two mounting holes are in each side of the drive and there are four mounting holes in the bottom of the drive. Do not over-tighten or force the screws. You can mount the drive in any orientation.
