ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B 1 Read before you begin... Application. This Seagate® drive is designed for IBM AT and compatible personal computers. It uses the ATA interface. Warning. Turn off your computer before you open the case, touch any internal components or install the drive. Static discharge. Observe these precautions to avoid static electricity, which can damage a drive or a computer.
2 ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B Maintenance and repair. Seagate drives do not require maintenance. The head/disc assembly is sealed; a broken seal voids the warranty. Seagate customer service centers are the only facilities authorized to repair Seagate drives. Seagate does not sanction any third-party repair facilities. Radio and television interference.
ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B 3 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.

ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B 5 • If you are not using cable select and instead are using a standard ATA interface cable, configure the drive as a master or a slave as shown in Figure 1. Attaching cables Figure 2 on page 6 shows the locations of the drive connectors. 1. Make sure the computer is off. 2. Put on a grounded wrist strap. 3. Connect the remote LED (optional).

ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B 7 Two-drive system with standard ATA 40-pin interface cable: If you are using a standard 40-pin two-drive ribbon cable, plug one connector into J1 on each drive and attach the remaining connector to the host adapter. Align pin 1 on connectors as described above for a one-drive system.

ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B 9 Configuring the computer Configure your computer for the drive as follows: 1. Turn the computer on and follow the manufacturer’s instructiions for running the CMOS Setup routine. 2.
10 ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B If your Setup routine does not offer a user-defined drive type, select a standard drive type with a capacity that most closely approximates, but does not exceed, your drive’s CMOS capacity (shown in the table’s last column). If you do not know what drive types your Setup routine supports, download the FindType utility from SeaBOARD (see page 18) to assist you in choosing an appropriate drive type. 4.
ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B 11 High-level formatting High-level formatting verifies the information written by the lowlevel format and builds the file allocation table (FAT) used by DOS to access files on the drive. Consult your MS-DOS manual to learn how to use the DOS FORMAT utility to high-level format the drive. In Unix, high-level formatting creates the i-node used for file access information. Drive formatting and partitioning are both performed by a single operating system utility.
12 ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B • Verify the CMOS drive type setting. The drive type setting stored in CMOS memory using CMOS Setup must approximate, but not exceed, the physical specifications of your drive. • Check all cables. Make sure all ribbon cables are securely connected. Verify that they are not crimped or damaged, and if in doubt, substitute cables that are new or known to be good. Verify for each cable that cable connector pin 1 aligns with equipment connector pin 1.
ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B 13 If a warm boot causes a previously unrecognized drive to become recognized, there may be a timing problem in which the drive fails to become ready before the computer’s poweron self-test is complete. One possible solution is to slow your computer’s processor speed during startup. If your computer has a turbo switch, set it to slow speed before turning the computer on.
14 ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B • Use the same version of DOS within all partitions. Make sure that the DOS version the dealer used to partition and high-level format the drive is the same as the version you have installed on your computer. If it isn’t, see your dealer. • Verify the CMOS drive type setup value. You must install the drive using the same drive type or translation geometry that was set before initial partitioning by your computer dealer.
ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B 15 • Use another drive type or translation geometry. Sometimes the computer’s BIOS does not accept a particular translation geometry value for writing into the CMOS Setup memory. • Change the interrupt jumper setting on the host adapter. • Check for media defects at the beginning of the drive. Use a third-party surface scan utility. The FDISK error message, “No Fixed Disk Present,” appears. • Check all cables. • Make sure the power supply is adequate to system needs.
16 ST5660A Installation Guide, Rev. B During the DOS high-level format, the drive does not format to full capacity. • Verify your computer’s CMOS drive type setting. One of these problems may have occurred: 1) CMOS Setup may be set for an incorrect drive type or translation geometry; 2) you may have entered a parameter value that exceeded the physical capacity of the drive; or 3) you selected a CMOS geometry or drive type that does not take full advantage of the drive’s capacity.
