Installation

For option jumper locations and definitions refer to Figure 10.1-1. Drive default mode parameters are not
normally needed for installation. Refer to Section 11.3.2 for default mode parameters if they are needed.
Ensure that the SCSI ID of the drive is not the same as the host adapter. Most host adapters use
SCSI ID 7.
If multiple devices are on the bus set the drive SCSI ID to one that is not presently used by other
devices on the bus.
If the drive is the only device on the bus, attach it to the end of the SCSI bus cable. Terminators are
required either on the drive for ST11200N and ST11200NC family models, or external to the drive for
ST11200ND family models. These external terminators must be provided by the user, systems
integrator or host equipment manufacturer.
If the drive is attached to a bus that contains other devices, and the new drive is not attached to the
end of the bus, the terminators should be removed from the new drive.
Set all appropriate option jumpers for desired operation prior to power on. If jumpers are changed
after power has been applied, recycle the drive power to make the new settings effective.
Installation instructions are provided by host system documentation or with any additionally pur-
chased drive installation software. If necessary see section 14.0 for Seagate support services
telephone numbers.
