Appendix B. Hard disks and BIOS setup
The appendices below provide you with extra information on how the hard disk is
organized, how information is stored on disks, how disks should be installed in the
computer and plugged into the motherboard, configuring disks with BIOS, partitions
and file systems, and how operating systems interact with disks.

B.1.1
Installing a hard disk, general scheme
To install a new IDE hard disk, you should do the following (we will assume you
have powered OFF your PC before you start!):
1.
have powered OFF your PC before you start!):
1.
Configure the new hard disk as slave by properly installing jumpers on its
controller board. Disk drives generally have a picture on the drive that shows the
correct jumper settings.
2.
correct jumper settings.
2.
Open your computer and insert the new hard disk into a 3.5’’ or 5.25’’ slot
with special holders. Fasten down the disk with screws.
3.
3.
Plug the power cable into the hard disk (four-threaded: two black, yellow and
red; there is only one way you can plug in this cable).
4.
4.
Plug the 40- or 80-thread flat data cable into sockets on the hard disk and on
the motherboard (plugging rules are described below). The disk drive will have a
designation on the connector or next to it that identifies Pin 1. The cable will have
one red wire on the end that is designated for Pin 1. Make sure that you place the
cable in the connector correctly. Many cables also are “keyed” so that they can only
go in one way.

Turn your computer on and enter BIOS setup by pressing the keys that are
displayed on the screen while the computer is booting.
6. Configure the installed hard disk by setting the parameters type, cylinder,
heads, sectors and mode (or translation mode; these parameters are written on the
hard disk case) or by using the IDE autodetection BIOS utility to configure the disk
automatically.

7.
Set the boot sequence to A:, C:, CD-ROM or some other, depending on where
your copy of Seagate BlackArmor Backup is located. If you have a boot diskette, set
the diskette to be the first; if it is on a CD, make the boot sequence start with CD-
ROM.
8. Quit BIOS setup and save changes. Seagate BlackArmor Backup will
automatically start after reboot.
9. Use Seagate BlackArmor Backup to configure hard disks by answering the
wizard’s questions.
10. After finishing the work, turn off the computer, set the jumper on the disk to
the master position if you want to make the disk bootable (or leave it in slave
position if the disk is installed as additional data storage).
