Ultra ATA/66 Requirements

The drive can support transfer rates up to 66 Mbytes per second
in Ultra ATA/66 mode. For your drive to run in this mode you
need the following:
•
A computer that supports UDMA modes 3 and 4
•
A 40-pin 80-conductor cable (maximum length 18 inches)
•
A software utility to activate Ultra ATA/66. Seagate provides a
utility called UTA66.exe that is included on your CD, or you can
download it from our Web site at www.Seagate.com.
•
The Windows 98 operating system

Before you begin

•
Make sure your computer is turned off before you open the
case.
•
Read the handling precautions at the right and inspect the
drive to make sure that it is not damaged.
•
Save your foam-lined Seagate disc drive box. This box has
been approved by Seagate for shipping a Seagate disc drive.
Using any other container or packing material voids your drive
warranty.
