ST9190 Family Installation Guide, Rev. A
Maintenance and repair. Seagate drives do not require main-
tenance. The head/disc assembly is sealed; if you break the seal,
you void the warranty. Seagate customer service centers are the
only facilities authorized to repair Seagate drives. Seagate does
not sanction any third-party repair facilities.
Shipping. Keep your original box and packing materials for
transporting or shipping your drive. The box has a Seagate
Approved Package label. Shipping a drive in an unapproved
container voids the warranty. Call your authorized Seagate dis-
tributor to purchase additional boxes.
Configuring the drive
Put on a grounded wrist strap. If you are grounding yourself
to the chassis of the computer, plug the power cord into a
grounded outlet. Wear a grounded wrist strap throughout the
installation procedure.
Install master/slave jumpers. In a two-drive system, you need to
designate one drive as the master, or drive 0, and the other drive as
the slave, or drive 1. In a one-drive system, configure the drive as a
master. To configure the drive as a master or slave, install the
master/slave jumpers as shown in Figure 1.
As an alternative to configuring the drive as a master or slave
using jumper settings, you can use a specialized daisy-chain
cable that grounds pin 28 (CSEL) on only one of its two drive
connectors. In this case, a drive becomes a master if it is attached
to the grounded CSEL connector; otherwise it becomes a slave.
To configure an ST9190 family drive for master/slave selection
using cabling, install both master/slave jumpers. In choosing this
approach, you should be aware that the drive consumes less
power with fewer jumpers installed.
