What you need for the installation  
Note: If your computer does not have an unused power cable for your new  
hard drive, you can purchase a Y-shaped power cable from your  
computer dealer.  
A Phillips screwdriver and four 6-32 UNC drive mounting screws  
An ATA interface cable (up to 18 inches long). For optimum drive  
performance and data integrity, we recommend using an 80-conductor  
Ultra ATA/100 cable (which can be identified by its blue, gray, and black  
connectors).

Handling precautions  
Disc drives are extremely fragile. Do not drop or jar the drive.  
Keep the drive in the protective SeaShell container until you are  
ready to install it. This minimizes handling damage.  
Pin 1  
Power connetor  
Protect your drive from static discharge by wearing a grounded wrist  
strap throughout the installation process.  
Stripe on cable  
Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit board or the  
top of the drive. Do not remove any existing labels.  
3. Start up your computer  
Close your computer case and restart your computer. Your computer may  
automatically detect your hard drives. If your computer does not automati-  
cally detect your new drive, follow the steps below.  
Always handle the drive by the edges or frame  
1. Set the jumpers  
a
Restart your computer.  
Note: The instructions below assume that you are installing your new  
Seagate drive in a system that already has a working hard drive. To  
install the drive in a system that has no working hard drive, see the  
back of this sheet.  
b. While the computer restarts, run the System Setup program (some-  
times called BIOS or CMOS setup). This is usually done by pressing a  
special key, such as DELETE, ESC, or F1 during the startup process.  
c. Within the System Setup program, instruct the system to autodetect  
your new drive.  
a. Make sure that your existing drive is set up as a “master.See the  
drive label or manufacturer’s web site for jumper settings.  
d. Enable LBA and UDMA modes if given the option.  
b. Your new U Series X drive is shipped with a jumper in the “cable select”  
position. Set the drive as a “slave” by removing this jumper from the  
jumper pins. Save the jumper in case you ever need to reconfigure the  
drive. Jumper settings for the U Series X drive are shown below.  
e. Save the settings and exit the Setup program. When your computer  
restarts, it should recognize your new drive. If your system still doesn’t  
recognize your new drive, see the troubleshooting section on the back  
of this sheet.  
Drive is master  
or single drive  
4. Partition and format the drive  
Before your new drive can store data, it must be partitioned (assigned one  
or more drive letters) and each partition must be formatted. You can partition  
and format the drive using DiscWizard or using programs built into  
Windows. Using DiscWizard is generally easier and faster.  
Drive is slave  
Use cable select  
Drive is master with non-  
ATA-compatible slave  
Partitioning and formatting using DiscWizard  
Master/slave jumpers (see table for key to jumper settings)  
1. Download DiscWizard for free from the Seagate Web site at  
www.seagate.com/support or run the program directly from your Web  
2. Mount the drive and attach cables  
browser.  
2. Within DiscWizard, choose to “Setup a New Drive.”  
a. Slide the drive into a 3.5-inch drive bay. You can mount the drive in any  
orientation, but we recommend mounting with the circuit board down.  
3. DiscWizard asks you a series of questions to determine the best way  
to set up your new drive. Make sure to indicate that the drive is already  
installed in your system.  
Note: In order to mount the drive in a 5.25-inch drive bay, you must  
purchase mounting brackets, available from your computer dealer.  
4. Select the drive to be partitioned and formatted.  
b. Secure the drive using four 6-32 UNC mounting screws in either the  
side-mounting or bottom-mounting holes. Insert the screws no more  
than 0.20 inch (5.08 mm) into the bottom-mounting holes and no more  
than 0.14 inch (3.55 mm) into the side-mounting holes.  
Caution. Partitioning or formatting a drive erases all the data on that  
!
drive. Make sure you select the correct drive!  
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.  
Caution. Do not overtighten the screws or use metric screws. This  
may damage the drive.  
c. Make sure the BLUE connector on your Ultra ATA/100 cable is plugged  
Congratulations. Youre done!
