8.0 Installation
Note. These drives are designed to be used only on single-ended (SE) or low voltage differential (LVD) bus-
ses. Do not install these drives on a high voltage differential (HVD) bus.
The first thing to do when installing a drive is to set the drive SCSI ID and set up certain operating options. This
is usually done by installing small shorting jumpers on the pins of connectors J2 and J6 on the PCBA (or J1-
Auxiliary on the LW model), or via the drive to host I/O signals on the LC model. Some users connect cables to
J6 or J5-Auxiliary and perform the set-up using remote switches.
Configure drive options
For option jumper locations and definitions refer to Figures 15, 17, and 18. 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
because ID 7 is the highest priority on both 8 and 16 bit data buses.
• 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. The user, system integra-
tor, or host equipment manufacturer must provide external terminators.
Note. For additional information about terminator requirements, refer to Sections 9.8 and 9.9.
• 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 for Seagate support services telephone numbers.
• Do not remove the manufacturer’s installed labels from the drive and do not cover with additional labels, as
the manufacturer labels contain information required when servicing the product.
Formatting
• It is not necessary to low level format this drive. The drive is shipped from the factory low level formatted in
512 byte sectors.
• Reformat the drive if a different spare sector allocation scheme is selected.
• High level formatting the drive involves assigning one or more partitions or logical drives to the drive volume.
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 15 and 17 show views of the drive ID select jumper connectors. Figure 18 shows the option select
jumper connector for all models. Figure 15 shows the drive’s J5-Auxiliary jumper connector. Both J5-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, J5-Auxiliary and J6. See your local
sales representative for suggested part number. A bag with the two jumper plug types is shipped with the stan-
dard OEM drives.
