Caution. Do not partition orformat this drive before removing  
the free Disk Manager software thatis stored on the  
drive. Without this software your computer may not  
be able to access the full capacity of the Marathon  
810. For details, see “About Disk Manager soft-  
ware” on page 5.  
Note. To use the free Disk Manager software that is provided  
on this drive, you need a bootable DOS system diskette  
and a blank 1.4-Mbyte diskette.  
Static discharge. Observe the following precautions:  
Before handling any components, put on a grounded wrist strap.  
Use antistatic padding on all work surfaces.  
Avoid static-inducing carpeted areas.  
Keep the drive in its static-shielded bag until you are ready to  
complete the installation. Do not attach any cables to the drive  
while it is in its static-shielded bag.  
Handle the drive by its edges or frame.  
Do not touch the I/O connector pins or the circuit board.  
Drive handling. The drive is extremely fragile—handle it with  
care. Do not attach labels to any part of the drive.

not sanction any third-party repair facilities.  
Warranty. See your authorized Seagate distributor or dealer.  
With regard to Disk Manager and SEG32BIT.386 software, there  
are no warranties, express or implied, including warranties of  
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. All such war-  
ranties are expressly and specifically disclaimed.  
Application. This drive uses the ATA interface and is designed  
for IBM AT and compatible personal computers. It is intended for  
use with UL-listed computers or similar products.  
Hardware Configuration  
Configuring the drive  
1. Put on a grounded wrist strap. Wear the grounded wrist  
strap throughout the installation procedure.  
2. Installmaster/slave jumpers.In a two-drive system, you need  
to designate one drive as the master, or drive 0, and the other  
drive asthe slave, or drive1. Todothis, install the master/slave  
jumpers as shown in Figure 1. In a one-drive system, configure  
the drive as a master (no jumpers installed).  
Alternatively, you can configure the drive as a master or  
slave using the cable select option. Cable selection re-  
quires a special drive interface cable that grounds pin 28  
(CSEL) on one of its two drive connectors. If you attach the  
drive to the grounded CSEL connector, it becomes a mas-  
ter. If you attach the drive to the ungrounded CSEL con-  
nector, it becomes a slave. To use this option, the host  
system and both drives must support cable select, and both  
drives must be configured for cable select. To configure a

Marathon 810 for cable select, install both master/slave  
jumpers, as shown in Figure 1 on page 4.  
Attaching cables  
This drive is designed for a host computer that supplies interface  
signals and +5V power through a single 44-pin connector and  
cable. If your computer has a fixed connector that attaches  
directly to the drive, skip ahead to the following section, “Mount-  
ing the drive.” Otherwise, attach the interface/power cable  
as described below.  
1. Turn off the computer and remove the battery.  
2. Put on a grounded wrist strap.  
3. Open your computer case. See your system manual for  
instructions.  
Caution. Special training or tools may be needed to service  
laptop and notebookcomputers. In somecases, open-  
ing the case may void your warranty.  
4. Connect the 44-pin interface/power cable. Match pin 1 of  
the cable to pin 1 of the interface connectors on the drive and  
on the computer. Pin 1 is usually denoted by a stripe along  
one edge of the cable. The location of pin 1 on the drive  
interface connector is shown in Figure 1 on page 4. The cable  
should be no longer than 18 inches (0.457 meters).  
Caution. The printed-circuit cables used in laptop computers  
are very delicate. Be careful not to tear them.  
Mounting the drive  
Mount the drive securely in the computer using M3X0.5 metric  
screws in the four bottom mounting holes or the four side mounting  
holes. You can mount the drive in any orientation. Be careful not to  
strain or crimp the interface/power cable.

Caution. To prevent damage to the drive while mounting, take  
the following precautions:  
Be careful not to bend the drive connector pins, especially  
when plugging the drive into a fixed connector.  
Use mounting screws of the correct size and length.  
Gently tighten the mounting screws—do not apply more than  
3 inch-pounds of torque.  
Do not insert mounting screws more than 0.15 inches into the  
mounting holes.  
Note. This drive meets industry-standard MCC mounting speci-  
fications. When installing this drive in a fixed-mounting  
application, you must use MCC-compatible connectors  
and mounting hardware. If the mounting holes in your  
computer do not line up with the mounting holes on the  
drive, your computer may not be MCC-compatible.  
Software and system configuration  
About Disk Manager software  
Many DOS-based computers cannot access more than 528  
Mbytes on a single drive unless the host system:  
supports and is configured forLBA addressing or forextended  
CHS addressing, or  
contains a specialized drive controller, or  
runs BIOS-translation software.  
Seagate provides a BIOS-translation program, Ontrack Disk  
Manager, with the Marathon 810. This software not only allows  
older computers to access the full capacity of the drive, but can  
be used to rapidly partition and format the drive, even on newer  
computers that do not require BIOS-translation software.

Marathon 810 Installation Guide, February 1996  
Before you can run the Disk Manager software you must transfer  
it from your new hard disc onto a blank, bootable diskette in drive  
A of your computer (the program can only be run from drive A).  
Creating a blank bootable diskette  
1. Boot your computer using a bootable DOS system diskette  
or bootable hard drive that contains the DOS program  
FORMAT.COM.  
Note. You must use a single version of DOS throughout the  
installation and configuration process.  
2. Type format a: /s then press ENTER.  
3. Follow the instructions on the screen: Insert a new 1.4-Mbyte  
diskette into drive A, and then press ENTER. The formatting  
process may take several minutes.  
Transferring the Disk Manager software  
Note. Before you can transfer your Disk Manager software, you  
must set all jumpers, attach all cables, and mount your  
drive in the computer, as described on pages 2 through 5.  
1. Reboot your computer using the blank, bootable diskette on  
which you plan to store the Disk Manager software.  
2. Run your computer’s system setup program (sometimes  
called BIOS or CMOS setup). See your computer or mother-  
board manual for system-specific instructions.  
3. Within the system setup program, configure your new hard  
drive as Drive Type 2, or enter the following values for a  
user-definable drive type: 615 cylinders, 4 heads, and 17  
sectors per track.  
Note. These settings are temporary. They allow you to access  
the drive-support software on your new hard disc.

4. Reboot your computer again using the blank, bootable diskette.  
5. You should now be able to access the software on your new  
hard disc. If your new hard drive is drive C, type c:\seamove  
to transfer the disc support software. Use a different drive  
letter if necessary.  
The SEAMOVE program transfers the drive-support files from  
your new hard disc to your blank, bootable diskette in drive A.  
After all the files have been transferred, SEAMOVE deletes  
all the files from the hard drive, along with the temporary  
partition that held them. You mustthen run Disk Managerfrom  
your bootable software diskette to access the full capacity of  
your drive.  
Configuring your system BIOS  
1. Restart your computer (again!) from a bootable diskette, and  
enter your system setup program as described previously.  
2. Within the system setup program, make sure that the correct  
drive type is listed for each ATA hard drive in your computer.  
Some newer computers can automatically determine drive-  
type characteristics if you select the Auto drive-type setting.  
If your computer does not provide this option, you must  
manually enter the number of cylinders, heads and sectors  
per track for your new drive, as shown in the table below.

Note. The system setup program may request information on  
the drive’s writeprecomp or landing zone. You do notneed  
to enter any values for these parameters because your  
Seagate drive does not use them.  
4. Save your drive-type settings, exit the system setup program,  
and reboot your computer using the DOS diskette.  
Installing Disk Manager  
Note. If you do not want to use the Disk Manager software, turn  
to “Manual Formatting and Partitioning” on page 10.  
1. Insert your bootable software diskette in drive A.  
2. At the DOS prompt, type a:\dm and press ENTER to start Disk  
Manager.  
3. Follow the instructions on your computer screen. From the  
main menu, select (E)asy Disk Installation and press ENTER.  
4. At this point, Disk Manager lists all the ATA hard drives that it  
can recognize on your system. You should see your new  
Seagate drive and your old hard drive (if any). If either hard  
drive is not recognized, exit Disk Manager and turn off your  
computer. Check all cables, jumpers and BIOS settings. Then  
run Disk Manager again.  
5. If Disk Manager recognizes all your drives, select the new  
drive you want to install and press ENTER. Disk Manager now  
formats and partitions your new drive.  
6. Follow the instructions on the Disk Manager post-installation  
screens.  
7. You’re done!

Note. If Disk Manager installs software to help your computer  
access a large hard drive, you will see a Disk Manager  
message each time you boot your computer.  
Booting from a diskette  
If Disk Manager has installed software to help your computer  
access a large hard drive, you must use the following procedure  
any time you need to boot from a diskette (see the Disk Manager  
online manual for details):  
1. Start up your computer without a diskette in the drive.  
2. When yousee the DiskManager message, immediately press  
the space bar.  
3. Insert your boot diskette and press the space bar again to  
finish booting from the diskette.  
Disk Manager online manual  
The DiskManager programcontains anextensive onlinemanual,  
with information on installation, troubleshooting, advanced Disk  
Manager options (including how to install Disk Manager on  
non-DOS computers) and reference information on many types  
of hard discs. To use the online manual:

Marathon 810 Installation Guide, February 1996  
Manual formatting and partitioning  
Note. This section is only for users who do not need to use Disk  
Manager to access the full capacity of the Marathon 810.  
Caution. Formatting or partitioning a drive that contains data  
may destroy all data on the drive. Before repartitioning  
or reformatting a drive that contains data, make sure  
all data on that drive has been safely backed up.  
Seagate Technology assumes no liability for lost data.  
Low-level formatting  
Seagate ATA Interface drives are low-level formatted at the factory  
and do not require additional low-level formatting before use.  
Partitioning  
The partitioning process subdivides a single disc drive into  
partitions that behave as separate logical drives (labeled C, D,  
E, etc.). You can also set up the entire disc as a single partition.  
1. Restart your computer. Start the computer using a bootable  
diskette that contains DOS system files and programs.  
2. Run the FDISK program. At the DOS prompt, typefdisk and  
pressENTER. Thenfollowthe directionsonthe screentocreate  
one or more partitions. See your DOS manual for details. If  
you are partitioning a drive that will be used to boot the  
computer, make sure that the primary partition is marked  
active.  
High-level formatting  
High-level formatting verifies the information written by the low-  
level format and creates file allocation tables used to catalog and  
access files.  
Caution. Make sure that you select the correct drive letter for  
the partition you want to format. If you format a drive  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Marathon 810 Installation Guide, February 1996  
11  
that contains data, you may destroy all the data on  
that drive.  
1. Run the FORMAT program. Insert a DOS program diskette  
that contains the FORMAT program into your diskette drive.  
At the DOS prompt, type format, followed by the drive letter  
for the first drive partition you want to format (for example,  
format C:). Then, press ENTER. If necessary, repeat this  
procedure to format other new drive partitions you have  
created. Consult your DOS manual for FORMAT command  
options.  
Note. If you are formatting the drive partition that will be used to  
boot your computer (the “C” drive), copy the DOS system  
files to this drive. To do this, type /s after the format  
command (for example, format C: /s)  
2. Verify the drive capacity. After high-level formatting a drive,  
you can verify the usable drive capacity by running the DOS  
CHKDSK utility program.

Installation troubleshooting  
Before calling Seagate Technical Support, please read and con-  
sider all the possibilities discussed on the following pages. The  
suggestions presented here address the vast majority of instal-  
lation problems.  
General troubleshooting procedures  
The following is a list of general troubleshooting procedures. Solu-  
tions for specific problems are provided on subsequent pages.  
Warning. Always turn off the computer before changing jumpers,  
moving cables or touching any internal components.  
Verify hardware compatibility. Check the documentation  
for yourdrive, hostadapterand computer to confirm thatthese  
components are compatible.  
Verify your hardware configuration. Check the documen-  
tation for your drive, host adapter and computer to confirm  
that all jumpers are set appropriately.  
Check all cables. Make sure that all cables are securely  
connected. Printed circuit and ribbon cables are quite fragile.  
Check to see that they are not crimped or damaged. Make  
sure that pin 1 of the interface cable is connected to pin 1 of  
the interface connector on the drive and on the computer.  
Most ribbon cables have a stripe down one side to designate  
pin 1. The location of pin 1 on the drive interface connector is  
shown in Figure 1 on page 4.  
Check all cards. If your computer has expansion cards,  
check to see that they are inserted completely into their slots  
on the motherboard and are secured with appropriate  
mounting screws. Make sure that full-size (16-bit) cards are  
not plugged into half-size (8-bit) slots.

Marathon 810 Installation Guide, February 1996  
13  
Verify the BIOS drive type. Make sure that you entered the  
correct drive type or translation geometry in the BIOS setup  
program. The drive capacity and number of sectors specified  
in the BIOS must not exceed the specifications shown in the  
table on page 7. If the drive type is incorrect, you must rerun  
the system setup program. Then partition and high-level  
format the drive again.  
Check for I/O address conflicts. To isolate an address  
conflict, first verify that the drive and host adapter are com-  
patible with your system by disconnecting all otherperipherals  
except the video card. Then install the drive and host adapter,  
and test the system. Next, install the other peripherals, one at  
a time, until the conflict reappears. After you have isolated the  
source of the address conflicts, you can resolve the conflict  
by changing the I/O address of the peripheral that appears to  
cause the conflict.  
Check the power supply. The output of your power supply  
may not be sufficient to meet the power requirements of the  
new devices you have installed. If you are not sure whether  
your power supply meets your system requirements, consult  
your computer dealer or distributor.  
Check your DOS version. You must use the same version  
of DOS (we recommend MS-DOS Version 5.0 or later)  
throughout all phases of building and configuring your com-  
puter system.  
Check for viruses. Use the latest version of a reliable virus-  
checking program to scan your computer’s memory, hard  
discs and any suspect diskettes for viruses. Run the virus-  
checking program if you encounter inexplicable disc errors or  
damage to disc partitions. Also, before installing any new  
software, scan the installation diskettes for viruses.

Marathon 810 Installation Guide, February 1996  
Specific Troubleshooting Procedures  
Methods for resolving specific drive installation problems are  
listed on the following pages. These methods incorporate many  
of the general troubleshooting techniques described in the pre-  
vious section.  
At startup, the computer does not recognize the presence  
of the drive.  
Check all cables.  
Check jumper settings on all drives.  
Check the power supply.  
Reboot the computerand make sure the drive spinsup. Ifyour  
drive is very quiet, you may not be able to hear it spin up. In  
this case, check the drive activity LED if your computer has  
one. Ifthe drive doesnotspinup, check thedrive cablesagain.  
Verify the BIOS drive type.  
Check for I/O address conflicts.  
Try a warm boot. Press CTRL, ALT and DELETE simultaneously  
to reboot the computer without turning off the power. If a warm  
boot causes a previously unrecognized drive to become rec-  
ognized, there may be a timing problem in which the drive fails  
to become ready before the host completes its power-on  
self-test.  
One possible solution is to power up your computer with its  
processor set at low speed (see your computer manual for  
details on setting processor speed). After the computer is up  
and running, return your processor to high speed or turbo  
mode. Another option is to warm-boot your computer after  
every power-on. You may also be able to solve this problem  
by upgrading your system BIOS.

Marathon 810 Installation Guide, February 1996  
15  
At startup, the message “HDD controller failure” appears.  
Check jumper settings on all drives.  
Check all cards and cables.  
During the FDISK program, you get an error message warn-  
ing of an attempt to write to track 0 or to the boot sector; the  
message may also suggest that a virus is present.  
This occurs in systems that have a virus-protection scheme that  
does not allow programs to modify the boot sector of the disc.  
See your system manual for details. To avoid the problem, run  
thesystem setupprogram andturnoff thevirus-protectionoption.  
Then exit system setup and run the FDISK and FORMAT  
programs. After all drive partitions are formatted, use the system  
setup program to turn virus protection on again.  
During the FDISK program, the computer hangs or fails to  
create or save the partition record.  
Check all cables.  
The FDISK program on your DOS utilities diskette may be  
corrupted. Try running the program from a different diskette.  
Check to see whether you are using a version of MS-DOS  
prior to Version 4.0. If so, upgrade to MS-DOS Version 5.0 or  
later.  
Try another drive type or translation geometry. Sometimes the  
host BIOSdoesnot accept aparticular translationgeometryeven  
though that geometry is listed as an option during system setup.  
Make sure that the host adapter is not assigned an interrupt  
that is already in use by another device. Modify the interrupt  
jumpers if necessary.

16  
Marathon 810 Installation Guide, February 1996  
During the FDISK program, the error message, “No Fixed  
Disk Present,” appears.  
Check all cables.  
Check the power supply.  
Reboot the computer and make sure the drive spins up.  
Verify the BIOS drive type.  
Check for I/O address conflicts.  
During high-level formatting, the drive keeps finding hard  
errors and reporting the following message: “Attempting to  
recover allocation units. . .”  
This is normal with some versions of DOS. The drive will format  
normally. However, after formatting the drive, you may want to  
run a third-party surface-scan program to check for bad sectors.  
During high-level formatting, the drive does not format to  
full usable capacity.  
Verify the BIOS drive type. Your drive’s formatted capacity is  
limited to the capacity of the BIOS geometry you selected. If  
your BIOS does not offer a geometry that takes advantage of  
the full capacity of the drive, and a user-defined drive type is  
not available, use a third-party partitioning utility.  
Run FDISK again and make the partitions smaller. Make sure  
you are using MS-DOS Version 5.0 or later or equivalent.  
At startup,themessages, “DiskBootFailure,Non-System  
Disk,” or “No ROM Basic - SYSTEM HALTED,” appear.  
Run the FDISK program and make sure the primary partition  
is marked active.  
Check all cables.

Marathon 810 Installation Guide, February 1996  
17  
Check your DOS version.  
Reinstall the DOS system files onto the hard disc using the  
SYS command (see your DOS manual).  
Check for viruses.  
During operation, the system error message, “Drive not  
Ready,” appears.  
Check all cables.  
Check the power supply.  
Reboot the computer and make sure the drive spins up.  
When you start Microsoft Windows 3.1, you see an error  
message regarding 32-bit disc access.  
The 32-bit disc access driver supplied with Windows 3.1 does  
not work with drive capacities greater than 528 Mbytes. You may  
havetodisable thisfeature to restart Windows. Seagate provides  
a replacement 32-bitdriver for Windows (SEG32BIT.386), which  
does support high-capacity disc drives. To install this driver:  
1. Start Windows, then insert your software diskette into drive A.  
2. From the Program Manager menu, select Run.  
3. In the command line box, type a:\stsetup.exe.  
4. Follow the instructions on the screen, then enable 32-bit  
disk access within the Windows Control Panel:  
a. Choose the 386 Enhanced icon.  
b. Choose the Virtual Memory button.  
c. Choose the Change>> button.  
d. Select the 32-Bit Disk Access check box.  
e. Choose the OK button.  
f. Choose the Restart button to restart Windows.

Compatibility notes  
The Marathon 810 conforms to the ATA interface specifica-  
tions. The host systemBIOS mustprovide support forthe ATA  
interface command set. For a detailed description of the ATA  
commands implemented by this drive, see theSeagate Mara-  
thon 810 Product Manual and the Draft Proposed ATA-2  
Standard.  
In accordance with ATA specifications, the system BIOS must  
reset any emulation/translation parameters after a hard reset.  
In some configurations, a Marathon 810 may supply up to 16  
bytes of error-correction code (ECC) with the Read Long and  
Write Long commands. Depending on the drive type, your  
system BIOS may look for 4 bytes of ECC. If your system  
BIOSexpects4 bytes ofECCandthedrivesuppliesa different  
number of bytes, some drive diagnostic programs may fail,  
typically resulting in time-out errors. Consult your computer  
documentation or call your computer dealer or manufacturer  
for information on configuring your computer to receive more  
than 4 bytes of ECC.  
Some older drive diagnostic programs may incorrectly report  
an ECC-detection failure when analyzing a Marathon 810.  
This occurs because the drive hardware corrects the data  
automatically, avoiding the error rather than reporting it. Such  
a report does not indicate a drive malfunction.

Storing and shipping your drive

label. Shipping a drive in an unapproved container voids the  
warranty. Call your authorized Seagate distributor to purchase
