This equipment is designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installa- tion. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, you are encouraged to try one or more of the following corrective measures: •...
The silver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate products are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chlo- ride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. In addition, electronic components should never be exposed to condensing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) or exposed to an ambient relative humidity greater than 95%.
Handling, mounting and configuring the drive This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive. Handling and static discharge precautions After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to potential handling and electrostatic dis- charge (ESD) hazards.
Mounting the drive 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 3 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precau- tions when mounting the drive: •...
Breather filter hole precautions This section contains information regarding the precautions which should be taken regarding the breather filter hole in Seagate hard disc drives. Proper precautions should be taken to ensure full functionality and prevent possible damage to the drive.
How to configure and attach Serial ATA (SATA) drives 3.4.1 How to configure the drive Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects point-to-point with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave relationship because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point relationship. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system views the two devices as if they were both “masters”...
How to configure and attach the Parrallel ATA (PATA) drives 3.5.1 How to set the jumper settings The options jumper block shown in Figure 7 is used to configure the drive for operation. It is the 8-pin dual header between the interface connector and the power connector. Use the following settings to configure the drive as a master or a slave.
3.5.1.3 Ultra ATA/100 cable An 80-conductor 40-pin cable is required to run Ultra DMA mode 3, mode 4, and mode 5. This cable uses even-numbered conductors connected to the ground pins to improve signal integrity. Master Pin 1 Slave Figure 8 Ultra ATA cable connectors Note.
Interface Interface SATA PATA The following sections apply to both SATA and PATA drives. • Supported commands (see section 4.3 on page 27) • Identify Device command (see section 4.4 on page 29) • Set Features command (see section 4.5 on page 32) •...
Serial ATA (SATA) interface These drives use the industry-standard Serial ATA interface that supports FIS data transfers. It supports ATA programmed input/output (PIO) modes 0–4; multiword DMA modes 0–2, and Ultra DMA modes 0–6. For detailed information about the Serial ATA interface, refer to the “Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment”...

Notes: 1. All pins are in a single row, with a 1.27 mm (0.050”) pitch. 2. The comments on the mating sequence apply to the case of backplane blindmate connector only. In this case, the mating sequences are: • the ground pins P4 and P12. •...
Parallel ATA (PATA) Interface These drives use the industry-standard ATA task file interface that supports 16-bit data transfers. It supports ATA programmed input/output (PIO) modes 0–4; multiword DMA modes 0–2, and Ultra DMA modes 0–5. The drive also supports the use of the IORDY signal to provide reliable high-speed data transfers. You can use a daisy-chain cable to connect two drives to a single AT host bus.
Supported ATA commands The following table lists ATA-standard commands that the drive supports. For a detailed description of the ATA commands, refer to the Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment specification for SATA models or the Draft ATA-7 Standard for the PATA models. See “S.M.A.R.T. commands” on page 33 for details and subcom- mands used in the S.M.A.R.T.

Set Features command This command controls the implementation of various features that the drive supports. When the drive receives this command, it sets BSY, checks the contents of the Features register, clears BSY and generates an inter- rupt. If the value in the register does not represent a feature that the drive supports, the command is aborted. Power-on default has the read look-ahead and write caching features enabled.
SeaTools diagnostic software activates a built-in drive self-test (DST S.M.A.R.T. command for D4 nates unnecessary drive returns. The diagnostic software ships with all new drives and is also available at: http://seatools.seagate.com. This drive is shipped with S.M.A.R.T. features disabled. You must have a recent BIOS or software package that supports S.M.A.R.T.
