User manual MAXTOR BARRACUDA 18XL INSTALLATION

[. . . ] Wear a wrist strap and cable connected to ground. Discharge static from all items near or that will contact the drive. Never use an ohmmeter on any circuit boards. · Turn off the power to the host system during installation. [. . . ] To operate at Ultra2 or higher rates in LVD mode, all devices on the same bus (cable) must be running in LVD mode. If you add any SE device to the bus, all devices on that bus operate in SE mode. Some LVD host adapters provide an LVD connector and an SE connector on the same host adapter to allow you to run SE and LVD drives concurrently at their maximum capabilities. Check your SCSI host adapter documentation. Do not mix LVD drives on the same bus 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.

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.

N/W option select jumpers 6. Mount the drive in the host system and connect cables Note. LC drives are designed to be attached to a carrier or tray and inserted into the host system without I/O or power cables. Some mounting kits may contain screws that are too long to be fully tightened without causing damage to the drive. [. . . ]
