The easiest way to install your S1 Series drive
Many of today's consumer products, like cameras, notebook computers,
MP3 players, printers and more have been designed to make it possible
for the end user to use compact flash interface devices. Your Seagate S1
Series drive is designed for such use. Refer to your product's user manual
for the location of the compact flash media compartment and the specific
instructions regarding insertion and removal of removable media devices
like the ST650211CF and ST625211CF models. Your product's manufac-
turer's support website will have the most up-to-date information. Read
and follow all instructions regarding the proper steps to be taken when
using your Seagate S1 Series disc drive.
The Seagate S1 Series Flex interface disc drive models, ST650211FX and
ST625211FX, are designed for embedded installation, or as a fixed stor-
age solution. Follow the installation instructions provided on this instruction
sheet. Your product's manufacturer's support website will have the most
up-to-date information on installing and removing storage devices. Read
and follow all instructions regarding the proper steps to be taken when
using your Seagate S1 Series disc drive. It is important to follow the han-
dling precautions and electrostatic discharge protection information below
when handling any electronic device. It is always a good idea to back up all
your data before installing any new hardware in your computer.
Handling precautions/electrostatic discharge protection
• S1 Series disc drives are fragile. Do not drop or jar the drive. Handle the
drive only by the edges or by the finger grip area shown in Figure 1.
Keep the device in the packaging until you are ready to install it and
between uses to minimize handling damage.
• It may be necessary to turn off the power to the host product during
installation. Refer to your product's user manual for details regarding
installation and removal of media devices.
• Do not disassemble the drive. Doing so voids the warranty.
See the warranty information on page 2.
• Do not expose the drive to extreme temperatures or humidity conditions.
• Do not apply pressure, write on, or attach labels to the top or bottom of
the drive.
• Do not cover or otherwise obstruct the breather hole on the top of the
drive. (See Figure 2 and Figure 3)
• Keep the drive away from strong magnetic fields to avoid data loss.
