Configuring the drive
1. Turn the computer off.
2. Remove your computer's outer case.
Caution. Special training or tools may be needed to service
portable computers. Removing the cover may void
your warranty. Review the terms and conditions of
your warranty before removing the cover.
3. Ground yourself. Wear a grounded wrist strap throughout
this procedure, or frequently touch the metal chassis of a
computer that is plugged into a grounded outlet.
4. Remove the drive from its antistatic bag.
5. Install master/slave jumpers. The options jumper block J8,
shown in Figure 1 on page 4, accepts 2-mm connectors and
jumpers. Use Seagate part number 13211-001 or equivalent.
One-drive system: Configure the drive for a one-drive system
as shown in Figure 1.
Two-drive system: Do not use an ATA interface drive in a
system with another drive having a controller that does not use
the ATA interface. With two ATA interface drives, you must
designate one drive as the master, or drive 0, and the other
as the slave, or drive 1. This can be done in either of two ways:
• When using cable select, if your computer and both drives
support cable select and you want to use this option, first
install three cable-select jumpers on pins 1 through 6 of J8
as shown in Figure 1; then use a special cable as described
in step 5 of "Attaching cables" on page 5 to designate master
and slave drives.
