4.5 Installation
For option jumper locations and definitions refer to Figure 10.1-1a and 10.1-1b. Drive default mode param-
eters 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. Host adapters probably use SCSI
ID 7 or 15.
• 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 must be
installed external to the drive. 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, terminators should not be installed at 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 purchased
drive installation software. If necessary see section 14.0 for Seagate support services telephone numbers.
Formatting
• It is not necessary to low level format this drive. The drive is shipped from the factory low level formatted in
512 byte sectors.
• Reformat the drive if one of the following occurs.
- A different sector size is selected.
- A different spare sector allocation scheme is selected.
