22 Barracuda 36FC Installation Guide, Rev. A
Inserting the drive
Most systems provide a way to insert the drive using a carrier or
tray which allows the drive to be hot-plugged into the system’s
Fibre Channel 40-pin single connector attachment (FC-SCA).
Refer to your system documentation about the method they pro-
vide and follow their instructions.
When installing the drive on a carrier or tray, discharge the static
electricity from the carrier or tray prior to inserting it into the sys-
tem.
Formatting the drive
Warning. 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
which has previously been used to store data
unless you intend to erase all user data).
Note.
Seagate is not responsible for lost user data.
1. Supply DC power to the drive (power is supplied to the drive
through the 40-pin FC-SCA).
2. Format the disc drive. This drive is designed to operate with
a variety of operating systems. Refer to your system and
Fibre Channel controller manual for information about
selecting and formatting the drive.
