2 Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B Handling precautions Disc drives are extremely fragile. Do not drop or jar your drive. Keep the drive in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it. Protect your drive from static discharge by making sure you are well grounded before touching the drive. We recommend wearing a grounded wrist strap throughout the installation process. Do not touch the connectors or any part of the printed cir- cuit board. Always handle the drive by its edges or frame. Do not

Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B 3 SCSI ID jumpers and drive termination Setting the SCSI ID Your SCSI drive is configured at the factory as SCSI ID 0 (no jumpers installed). If you are installing only one drive or if this will be your boot drive, the drive should be configured as SCSI ID 0. Each device on the SCSI chain must have a unique SCSI ID. If you are installing a second hard drive, choose the next available ID. SCSI ID 7 is usually reserved for the SCSI host adapter. Figure 1 on page 4 shows

Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B 7 Attaching cables and mounting the drive 1. If you are installing a new SCSI interface cable, attach one end of the cable to the interface connector on your computer or host adapter. 2. Thread the interface cable through the drive bay and attach the connector at the end of the interface cable to your new drive. Note. If you have two drives, attach the second drive to the sec- ond connector.

To avoid possible damage to your system, ! make sure to align pin 1 on the SCSI host adapter with pin 1 on the SCSI cable on your drive or drives. Pin 1 on the interface cable is usually indicated by a stripe along the edge of the cable.

Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B 9 Figure 5. Mounting screws 3. Slide the drive carefully into the drive bay. Secure the drive with four 6-32 UNC-2A mounting screws in either the side- mounting holes or the bottom-mounting holes. Do not over- tighten the screws. They should be inserted no more than six full turns into the drive frame. Do not use metric screws. Caution. To avoid possible damage to the drive, do not ! overtighten the screws or use metric screws.

Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B 11 Configuring your computer Before you format or partition your new drive, you must configure your computer’s BIOS to show that no hard drives are installed. 1. Turn your computer on. As your computer starts up, watch the screen for a message that describes how to run the system setup program (also called BIOS or CMOS setup). This is usually done by pressing a special key, such as DELETE, ESC or F1, during startup. See your computer manual for details. Press the appro

Use your system setup diskette to automatically take you through the formatting process. Caution. Partitioning or formatting a drive erases all ! data on it. Seagate assumes no liability if you erase your data. Low-level format This drive is low-level formatted at the factory to 512 bytes per sector. You do not need to
