4.6 Standard installation
For option jumper locations and definitions refer to Figure 10.1-1. Drive default mode parameters are not
normally needed for installation. Refer to Section 11.3.2 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, which is the highest priority on both 8 and 16 bit data busses.
• 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. Permanently installed
terminators must be enabled on the drive for "W" models using jumper plug TE. On “WC”, “DC” and “WD”
models, external terminators must be provided by the user, systems integrator or host equipment
manufacturer.
• If the drive is attached to a bus that contains other devices, and the new drive is not attached to the end of
the bus, the Terminator Enable jumper (TE) should be removed from the new drive.
• 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 14.0 for Seagate support services telephone numbers.
• The Manufacturers installed labels must not be removed from the drive or covered with additional labels, as
they 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 one of the following occurs.
- A different sector size is selected.
- A different spare sector allocation scheme is selected.
• High level format the drive. This 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.
