Seagate Computer Drive ST3400620A User Manual

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).  
Note. When configuring two PATA devices on  
the same cable, both must use Cable  
Select or both must use Master/Slave

What you need  
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.  
• A Phillips screwdriver and four 6-32 UNC drive mounting screws  
• An ATA interface cable. For optimum performance use an 80-conductor  
Ultra ATA/100 cable which has blue, gray, and black connectors.  
2. 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 inches (5.08 mm) into the bottom-mounting holes and no more than  
0.14 inches (3.55 mm) into the side-mounting holes.  
Ultra ATA/100 requirements  
The drive can be configured to support a default maximum transfer rate. This  
drive can support transfer rates up to 100 Mbytes per second (UDMA 5) in  
Ultra ATA/100 mode. Using a software utility, you can set the default transfer  
rate to the best capability of your system. For your drive to run in this mode,  
you need the following:  
Note. Do not overtighten the screws or use metric screws. This may dam-  
age the drive.  
3. Attach the interface connector and the power connector to the drive.  
Breather filter hole precaution  
• A computer that supports UDMA mode 5  
• A 40-pin, 80-conductor cable (available from your computer dealer)  
• Windows XP, Windows 2000, Mac OS X, Linux, or other operating system  
that supports Ultra ATA 100.  
Large disc requirements (for capacities over 137 Gbytes)  
To realize the full capacity of these drives:  
• Use an operating system that supports 48-bit addressing:  
- Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 1 (or later)  
- Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 (or later)  
- Mac OS X10.2 (or later)  
Caution. Do not cover, seal, or insert any object into this hole.  
- Mac OS 9.2.2 (or later)  
- Linux kernel v2.4.16 (or later)  
• Use a 48-bit compatible Ultra ATA/133 PCI host adapter card or connector.  
This hole allows condensation inside the hard disc to escape and allows  
pressure inside the hard disc to equalize with ambient pressure If this hole is  
covered, sealed, or penetrated by any object, drive reliability may be compro-  
mised and could lead to permanent damage and voids the warranty.  
Handling precautions/electrostatic discharge protection  
• Disc drives are fragile. Do not drop or jar the drive. Handle the drive only  
by the edges or frame.  
• Drive electronics are extremely sensitive to static electricity. While install-  
ing the drive, wear a wrist strap and cable connected to ground.  
• Turn off the power to the host system during installation.  
• Do not disassemble the drive; doing so voids the warranty. Return the  
entire drive for depot service if any part is defective.  
Configuring the BIOS (does not apply to Apple Macintosh systems)  
Close your computer case and restart your computer. Your computer may  
automatically detect your new drive. If your computer does not automatically  
detect your new drive, follow the steps below.  
a. Restart your computer. While the computer restarts, run the System  
Setup program (sometimes called BIOS or CMOS setup). This is usually  
done by pressing a special key, such as DELETE, ESC, or F1 during the  
startup process. See your system documentation for details about your  
particular system.  
• Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the drive.  
Setting the jumpers  
b. Within the System Setup program, instruct the system to auto detect  
your new drive.  
Refer to the jumper settings illustration below or on your drive label to config-  
ure the drive for your system. Jumper settings can also be accessed online  
c. Enable LBA and UDMA modes if available and then save the settings  
and exit the Setup program.  
Master or single drive: When this jumper is used (connecting pins 7 and  
8), the drive is configured as master  
or single drive.  
When your computer restarts, it should recognize your new drive. If your sys-  
tem still doesn’t recognize your new drive, see the troubleshooting section.  
Installing the drive in Mac OS X systems  
1. Install the drive in your system using the instructions provided on the  
front of this installation guide.  
Drive is slave: To configure the drive  
as a slave or second drive on the  
cable, remove all the jumpers from  
pins 5-8.  
Master with non-ATA compatible  
slave: Use this setting if the slave  
drive is not recognized. Configure the

2. Insert the Mac OS X Install CD 1 (OS 10.3 and earlier) or Install DVD  
(OS 10.4 and later). These operating system discs are provided by  
Apple and normally ship with Apple computers.

3. Restart the computer while holding the C key (you can release the C key  
after you see the Apple logo appear on the screen). In Mac OS X 10.4 or  
later, you must select your language after booting from these install  
discs.

pins 5 and 6 and pins 7 and 8 to  
enable this option.  
Cable select: Computers that use  
cable select determine the master  
and slave drives on the interface bus.  
To enable cable select, set a jumper  
on pins 5 and 6 (and make sure the

4. If the new drive you just installed is the only disc in your system (replac-  
ing the original hard disc drive), click on “continue” and follow the on-  
screen instructions to install OS X on your new drive.  
5. Select the drive you want to install in the left panel.  
“Master or single drive” jumper is not installed).  
Warning. Be sure to select the correct disc before erasing the drive.  
Alternate capacity jumper: When this jumper is used, capacity is limited  
to 32 Gbytes. Use this jumper only if you have a legacy system with a  
BIOS that does not support large capacity disc drives. When using the  
alternate capacity jumper, DiscWizard® Starter Edition software is  
required to achieve the drive’s full capacity.  
6. Click on Erase and then select a volume format (Mac OS Extended is a  
commonly-used format), type a name of your choice in the Name field,  
and click on Erase again. Confirm your intentions by clicking Erase once  
more to begin formatting the drive.
