Hawk 2 (Wide bus) Family Install Guide, Rev. C The physical design characteristics of the drive(s) described herein, serve to minimize EMI radiation when installed in an enclosure that provides reason- able shielding. As such, the drive(s) are capable of meeting the Class B limits of the FCC Rules and the Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communi- cations.
Hawk 2 (Wide bus) Family Install Guide, Rev. C Before you begin Verify that the system is switched off and discon- nected from main power before any installation is attempted. Protect yourself, the drive, and your valuable pro- grams and data by reading the following cautions and warnings.

If an installed drive is low-level formatted, all user data stored on the drive will be lost. Note. Seagate Technology assumes no liability for lost user data. • Partitioning and high level formatting: A drive can be sub-divided into "partitions"...
Hawk 2 (Wide bus) Family Install Guide, Rev. C Product repair information Service requirements The special facilities required for the manufacture of these drives generally prohibit repair in the field. If problems occur during installation, please contact your supplier for assistance. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair.
Shipping: When transporting or shipping a drive, a Seagate approved container must be used. Keep your original box. They are easily identified by the Seagate Approved Package label. Shipping a drive in a non- approved container voids the drive warranty.

ST12400 OEM standard models have twelve spare sectors per cylinder and 2 cylinders at inner tracks reserved for spares. The model ST11900 has six spares per cylinder and 2 spare cylinder per unit.
Hawk 2 (Wide bus) Family Install Guide, Rev. C Initial setup information For the initial setup connect the cables, set the SCSI bus address and enable or disable (as required by system configuration), the SCSI I/O line terminator resistors (model "W" drives only). Note whether the drive model number ends in W, WC or WD.

Hawk 2 (Wide bus) Family Install Guide, Rev. C ST12400WC family 80 pin SCSI I/O drives On Hawk 2 family, ST12400WC model drives there is no J1-auxiliary. J6 can be used to set drive ID, but the host probably does it over the 80 pin interface. J6 may be used to drive external LED's and connect the syn- chronized spindle signal to other drives and the host.
