Cable-Select Option; Alternate Capacity Jumper - Seagate ST340016A Product Manual

Barracuda ATA IV Family Product Manual, Rev. B

2.2.2 Cable-select option

Computers that use cable select determine the master and slave drives
by selecting or deselecting pin 28, CSEL, on the interface bus. Master
and slave drives are determined by their physical position on the cable.
To enable cable select, set a jumper on pins 5 and 6 as shown in Figure
2 on page 20. Refer to your computer manual to determine whether your
computer supports this option.

2.2.3 Alternate capacity jumper

Some older computers may "hang" at startup if their BIOS detects a disc
drive with a capacity greater than 32 Gbytes. For models ST380021A,
ST360021A and ST340016A, this limits the drive's capacity to 32 Gbytes
when the alternate capacity jumper is used. To access the full capacity
of the drive, you can:
•
Update the BIOS
•
Use third-party software such as DiscWizard
•
Use a third-party host adapter
For drives with capacities greater than 32 Gbytes, the alternate capacity
jumper changes the total available LBA sectors to 32 Gbytes to solve
issues with some BIOS during power on. The ATA Set Features subcom-
mand "F1 Report Full Capacity Available" causes Identify Data words
H
60 and 61 to report the full capacity. See Section 3.1.3 on page 33 for
more details on the Set Features command.
Windows Me, Windows 98 or newer versions are needed to support
drives with capacities greater than 32 Gbytes.
