Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B 1 What you need • • • • • • • Straight-edge and Phillips screwdrivers Drive mounting screws A SCSI interface host adapter A 50-pin SCSI interface cable An unused drive power cable for your new drive A DOS or Windows 95 system setup diskette (Seagate recommends using DOS Version 5.0 or later). If you are mounting this 3.5-inch drive in a 5.25-inch drive bay, you need a mounting adapter or frame kit.
2 Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B Handling precautions Disc drives are extremely fragile. Do not drop or jar your drive. Keep the drive in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it. Protect your drive from static discharge by making sure you are well grounded before touching the drive. We recommend wearing a grounded wrist strap throughout the installation process. Do not touch the connectors or any part of the printed circuit board. Always handle the drive by its edges or frame.
Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B 3 SCSI ID jumpers and drive termination Setting the SCSI ID Your SCSI drive is configured at the factory as SCSI ID 0 (no jumpers installed). If you are installing only one drive or if this will be your boot drive, the drive should be configured as SCSI ID 0. Each device on the SCSI chain must have a unique SCSI ID. If you are installing a second hard drive, choose the next available ID. SCSI ID 7 is usually reserved for the SCSI host adapter.

Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B 5 SCSI termination SCSI Host Adapter Terminate Internal SCSI device Internal SCSI device Terminate Figure 2. Termination for internal SCSI devices Chains of SCSI devices must be terminated at each end of the cable. The figure above shows two internal hard drives with the termination enabled for the SCSI host adapter and the last device on the cable. If your new drive is the last device on the SCSI cable, you must enable termination.
6 Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B External SCSI device Terminate External SCSI device SCSI Host Adapter Internal SCSI device Internal SCSI device Terminate Figure 3. Termination for internal and external SCSI devices This figure shows a SCSI chain with two internal SCSI devices and two external SCSI devices. The SCSI devices at the ends of each cable are terminated. Note. Some SCSI host adapters should remain terminated even if they are in the middle of the chain.
Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B 7 Attaching cables and mounting the drive 1. If you are installing a new SCSI interface cable, attach one end of the cable to the interface connector on your computer or host adapter. 2. Thread the interface cable through the drive bay and attach the connector at the end of the interface cable to your new drive. Note. If you have two drives, attach the second drive to the second connector.

To avoid possible damage to your system, make sure to align pin 1 on the SCSI host adapter with pin 1 on the SCSI cable on your drive or drives. Pin 1 on the interface cable is usually indicated by a stripe along the edge of the cable.
Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B 9 Figure 5. Mounting screws 3. Slide the drive carefully into the drive bay. Secure the drive with four 6-32 UNC-2A mounting screws in either the sidemounting holes or the bottom-mounting holes. Do not overtighten the screws. They should be inserted no more than six full turns into the drive frame. Do not use metric screws. ! Caution. To avoid possible damage to the drive, do not overtighten the screws or use metric screws.
10 Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B Power connector Interface connector Pin 1 Figure 6. Cable connectors Note. If you are mounting the drive in a 5.25-inch drive bay, you need a mounting adapter or frame kit. Contact your computer dealer. Some computers also require drive mounting rails, which can be obtained from your distributor or computer manufacturer. 4. Attach a power cable to each drive.
Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B 11 Configuring your computer Before you format or partition your new drive, you must configure your computer’s BIOS to show that no hard drives are installed. 1. Turn your computer on. As your computer starts up, watch the screen for a message that describes how to run the system setup program (also called BIOS or CMOS setup). This is usually done by pressing a special key, such as DELETE, ESC or F1, during startup. See your computer manual for details.
12 Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B Partitioning and formatting your drive To prepare your drive for use with any of these operating systems, you must partition and format your drive. Use your system setup diskette to automatically take you through the formatting process. ! Caution. Partitioning or formatting a drive erases all data on it. Seagate assumes no liability if you erase your data. Low-level format This drive is low-level formatted at the factory to 512 bytes per sector.
Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B 13 3. If you have two hard drives installed, the FDISK menu displays five options. Option five allows you to select the drive you want to partition. Make sure that your new drive is selected. If you accidently repartition your old hard drive, youwill erase all data on the drive. 4. Select “Create DOS partition or logical DOS drive” by pressing 1. Then press ENTER. 5. Select “Create primary DOS partition” by pressing 1 again. Then press ENTER. Create your first drive partition.
14 Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B Other operating systems Macintosh To configure your drive for a Macintosh system, you must use a third-party hard disc initialization program. Most software vendors and computer stores that carry Mac software sell hard disc drivers. Refer to the software instructions for details. Note. The Apple HD SC Setup utility included with your Macintosh system software only works on drives ordered directly through Apple. Unix There are several versions of the UNIX operating system.

16 Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B Remote LED connection. Pins 13 and 14 on the options jumper block are reserved for a remote LED. Pin 13 is for the cathode and pin 14 is for the anode.
Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B 17 Troubleshooting If you have installed your drive and it does not function properly, perform the following basic checks: Warning. Always turn off the computer before changing jumpers or unplugging cables and cards. Wear a ground strap or use other antistatic precautions while working on your computer or handling your drive. • Verify compatibility. Verify that the host adapter and drive are • • • • • appropriately matched to each other and to your computer.
18 • • • • • Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B termination on all devices between the drive and the device at the other end of the cable. See “SCSI termination” on page 5. Make sure the drive is running. Listen carefully to determine whether the drive motor is spinning. Also, the drive-activity LED should flash when the power is turned on. If the LED stays on after power-on, make sure the interface cable is properly connected and that no other device on the cable is using the same SCSI ID.
Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B 19 If the drive works with DOS, refer to your Netware user’s guide for assistance. Additional troubleshooting If you have performed the preceding basic checks but the problem persists, follow these guidelines for troubleshooting specific cases: The screen remains blank when you power up the system. • Make sure the monitor is plugged in and turned on. • Check all cards and host adapters. • Make sure the video card is seated in its slot and secured with mounting screws.
20 • Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B One solution is to slow the processor speed during startup. If your computer has a turbo switch, set it to slow speed before turning the computer on. If there is no turbo switch, you may be able to use keyboard commands; see your computer manual for details. After the computer is up and running, return the processor to the fast speed. Another solution is to warm-boot your computer after every power-on. Check for I/O address conflicts.
Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B 21 The system hangs in FDISK or fails to create or save the partition record. • Check all cables. • Your DOS diskette may be corrupted. Try using a backup DOS diskette. • Make the partitions smaller. • Change the interrupt jumper setting on the host adapter. The system error message, “Drive not Ready,” appears. • Check all cable connections. Make sure pin 1 of the drive is connected to pin 1 of the SCSI host adapter. • Make sure the power supply is adequate for system needs.
22 Medalist Pro 2160N, Rev. B The system error message, “HDD controller failure” appears. • Confirm the jumper settings on the drive. • Verify the drive-type settings in the system setup program.
