ST34323A Family Product Manual, Rev. C 2.0 Configuring and mounting the drive This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive. 2.1 Handling and static-discharge precautions After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to potential handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazards.
ST34323A Family Product Manual, Rev. C 2.2 Jumper settings 2.2.1 Master/slave configuration The options jumper block (J8) shown in Figure 2 is used to configure the drive for operation. It is the 6-pin dual header between the I/O connector and the power connector. Use the following settings to configure the drive as a master or a slave.
Some older computers may “hang” if their BIOS detects a hard drive that has more than 4,092 cylinders at startup. The ST33223A and the ST34323A include a capacity-limiting jumper, which sets the drive’s default translation geometry to 4,092 cylinders. This limits the drive’s capacity to 2.1 Gbytes, unless third-party software is used.
ST34323A Family Product Manual, Rev. C 2.3 Drive mounting You can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side- mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. See Figure 4 for drive mounting dimensions. Important mounting precautions: •...
