Seagate ST36450A ユーザーズマニュアル

DiscWizard



 is a revolutionary new Windows program that

makes it easy to install your new Seagate drive. DiscWizard
helps you configure your new drive and your computer. It ana-
lyzes your system, lets you select various installation options
and creates customized step-by-step instructions. It also al-
lows older computers to access the full capacity of your drive.

• You already have an existing, bootable hard drive in your

computer with at least 3 Mbytes of available disc space 

and

• You are running Windows 3.

x or Windows 95.

If you can run DiscWizard, you do not have to read this instal-
lation guide. Instead, 

before you install your new drive, follow

the instructions on the DiscWizard diskette to install your
drive. DiscWizard provides all the information you need to
install your new drive.

If you cannot run DiscWizard, follow the instructions in
this installation guide to install and configure your new

drive. For additional information and troubleshooting

tips, see the back of this sheet. This symbol: 

 indi-

cates that additional information on a topic appears on

the back of this sheet.

1 If you are installing a new ATA interface cable, attach one

end of the cable to the interface connector on your com-
puter or host adapter. The ATA cable must be no more than
18 inches long.

2 Thread the interface cable through the drive bay and attach

the connector at the end of the interface cable to your new
drive. If you have two drives, attach the second drive to
the second connector.

Caution.  Make sure to align pin 1 on the com-
puter or host adapter interface connector with
pin 1 on your drive or drives. Pin 1 on the
interface cable is usually indicated by a stripe
along the edge of the cable.

If your new Seagate

Medalist 

®

Pro drive will be the only drive in

your computer, you do not have to change any jumper settings.
In this case, skip ahead to “Attaching Cables and Mounting the
Drive.”

If you already have one hard drive in your computer and you
are installing a second drive, you must configure one drive as a
master and the other as a slave. The master drive will be the
“boot” drive (drive C), from which the computer loads system
software when it first starts up. To configure your new Seagate
drive as the master, slide a jumper onto pins 7 and 8 (see be-
low). To configure the drive as a slave, slide a jumper onto pins
5 and 6 only. The jumper on pins 6 and 8 is a spare and does
not affect drive operation. If you need to change the jumpers on
your existing hard drive, see the Disk Manager online manual,
or contact the drive manufacturer.
