Seagate ST3750840A プリント

• A Phillips screwdriver and four 6-32 UNC drive mounting screws
• An ATA interface cable. For optimum performance use an 80-conductor

Ultra ATA/100 cable which has blue, gray, and black connectors.

The drive can be configured to support a default maximum transfer rate. This
drive can support transfer rates up to 100 Mbytes per second (UDMA 5) in
Ultra ATA/100 mode. Using a software utility, you can set the default transfer
rate to the best capability of your system. For your drive to run in this mode,
you need the following:
• A computer that supports UDMA mode 5
• A 40-pin, 80-conductor cable (available from your computer dealer)
• Windows XP, Windows 2000, Mac OS X, Linux, or other operating system

that supports Ultra ATA 100.

To realize the full capacity of these drives:
• Use an operating system that supports 48-bit addressing:

- Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 1 (or later)
- Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 (or later)
- Mac OS X10.2 (or later)
- Mac OS 9.2.2 (or later)
- Linux kernel v2.4.16 (or later)

• Use a 48-bit compatible Ultra ATA/133 PCI host adapter card or connector.
• Go to http://support.seagate.com for additional information.

• Disc drives are fragile. Do not drop or jar the drive. Handle the drive only

by the edges or frame.

• Drive electronics are extremely sensitive to static electricity. While install-

ing the drive, wear a wrist strap and cable connected to ground.

• Turn off the power to the host system during installation.
• Do not disassemble the drive; doing so voids the warranty. Return the

entire drive for depot service if any part is defective.

• Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the drive.

Refer to the jumper settings illustration below or on your drive label to config-
ure the drive for your system. Jumper settings can also be accessed online
from our web site at www.seagate.com. 
• Master or single drive: When this jumper is used (connecting pins 7 and

8), the drive is configured as master
or single drive.

• Drive is slave: To configure the drive

as a slave or second drive on the
cable, remove all the jumpers from
pins 5-8.

• Master with non-ATA compatible

slave: Use this setting if the slave
drive is not recognized. Configure the
master drive with a jumper set on
pins 5 and 6 and pins 7 and 8 to
enable this option.

• Cable select: Computers that use

cable select determine the master
and slave drives on the interface bus.
To enable cable select, set a jumper
on pins 5 and 6 (and make sure the
“Master or single drive” jumper is not installed).

• Alternate capacity jumper: When this jumper is used, capacity is limited

to 32 Gbytes. Use this jumper only if you have a legacy system with a
BIOS that does not support large capacity disc drives. When using the
alternate capacity jumper, DiscWizard® Starter Edition software is
required to achieve the drive’s full capacity.

1.

Attach one end of the drive interface cable to the interface connector on
your computer’s motherboard (see your computer manual for connector
locations).

Caution. Align pin 1 on the motherboard connector with pin 1 on your drive

connector. Pin 1 is marked by a stripe on one side of the cable.

2.

Secure the drive using four 6-32 UNC mounting screws in either the
side-mounting or bottom-mounting holes. Insert the screws no more than
0.20 inches (5.08 mm) into the bottom-mounting holes and no more than
0.14 inches (3.55 mm) into the side-mounting holes.

Note. Do not overtighten the screws or use metric screws. This may dam-

age the drive.

3.

Attach the interface connector and the power connector to the drive.

Caution. Do not cover, seal, or insert any object into this hole.
This hole allows condensation inside the hard disc to escape and allows
pressure inside the hard disc to equalize with ambient pressure If this hole is
covered, sealed, or penetrated by any object, drive reliability may be compro-
mised and could lead to permanent damage and voids the warranty.

Close your computer case and restart your computer. Your computer may
automatically detect your new drive. If your computer does not automatically
detect your new drive, follow the steps below.
a.

Restart your computer. While the computer restarts, run the System
Setup program (sometimes called BIOS or CMOS setup). This is usually
done by pressing a special key, such as DELETE, ESC, or F1 during the
startup process. See your system documentation for details about your
particular system.

b.

Within the System Setup program, instruct the system to auto detect
your new drive.

c.

Enable LBA and UDMA modes if available and then save the settings
and exit the Setup program.

When your computer restarts, it should recognize your new drive. If your sys-
tem still doesn’t recognize your new drive, see the troubleshooting section.

1.

Install the drive in your system using the instructions provided on the
front of this installation guide.

2.

Insert the Mac OS X Install CD 1 (OS 10.3 and earlier) or Install DVD
(OS 10.4 and later). These operating system discs are provided by
Apple and normally ship with Apple computers.

3.

Restart the computer while holding the C key (you can release the C key
after you see the Apple logo appear on the screen). In Mac OS X 10.4 or
later, you must select your language after booting from these install
discs.

4.

If the new drive you just installed is the only disc in your system (replac-
ing the original hard disc drive), click on “continue” and follow the on-
screen instructions to install OS X on your new drive. 

5.

Select the drive you want to install in the left panel. 

Warning. Be sure to select the correct disc before erasing the drive.

6.

Click on Erase and then select a volume format (Mac OS Extended is a
commonly-used format), type a name of your choice in the Name field,
and click on Erase again. Confirm your intentions by clicking Erase once
more to begin formatting the drive.

Note.  When configuring two PATA devices on
 

the same cable, both must use Cable 

 

Select or both must use Master/Slave 

 

jumper settings. If you are using a standard 

 

40-pin cable, the master and slave 

 

drives can be placed in any position. If you 

 

are using a 40-pin 80-conductor cable, attach

 

the blue connector to the motherboard, 

 

the black connector to the master drive 

 

and the grey connector to the slave drive.
