The Easiest Way to Install Your Drive  
DiscWizard is Seagate’s exclusive Windows program that is included with  
your drive for easy drive installation. You can use this software if you  
already have a bootable hard drive in your computer and you are running  
Windows 98 or Windows 95.  
Attaching Cables and Mounting the Drive  
1. Attach one end of the drive interface cable to the interface connector  
on your computer’s motherboard (see your computer manual for  
connector locations).  
Run DiscWizard before installing your drive for customized step-by-step  
instructions for your system.  
To run DiscWizard:  
Select Run from the Windows Start menu and type x:\setup, where x is  
the drive letter of your diskette or CD-ROM.  
Caution. Align pin 1 on the motherboard connector with pin 1 on

your drive connector. Pin 1 is marked by a stripe on one side of the cable.  
If you cannot run DiscWizard, follow the instructions on this installation

motherboard, the black connector to the

The Windows 98 operating system  
3. Secure the drive in the computer 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.  
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 will minimize handling damage.  
Caution. Do not overtighten the screws or use metric screws. This  
may damage the drive.  
!
The drive is enclosed in a black, flexible cover called a SeaShield®.  
Do not remove this permanent cover—it protects the drive from  
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and minor impact damage.  
Configuring the BIOS  
For your computer to recognize your new drive, configure your  
computer’s BIOS as follows:  
Protect your drive from static discharge by wearing a grounded wrist  
strap throughout the installation process.  
1. Run the system setup program.  
Always handle the drive by the edges or frame.  
2. Enable LBA mode and UDMA mode, if available.  
Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit board or the  
top of the drive.  
3. Select the auto-detect option. If this is not available, select “User-  
defined drive type” and enter the CHS (cylinder, head, sectors)  
parameters for your drive from the table listed below. The CHS  
addressing supports capacities up to 8.4 Gbytes only. To access the  
full capacity of the drive, use LBA mode.  
Setting the Jumpers  
Refer to the jumper settings below to configure the drive for your system.
