ST3144 Family installation Guide, Rev.

Overview

Installation of the drive can be divided into distinct steps as

outlined below. Some of these may not be applicable to your

particular installation requirements. Refer to the drive installation

section for specific information on your drive model.

Drive jumper settings. Select the appropriate drive features

by installing or removing jumpers on the jumper blocks on the

drive circuit board.

CMOS configuration.

Basic information about the drive must

be entered into the host system CMOS so that it may properly

access the drive for reading and writing data. The number of

heads, cylinders, and sectors per track are specific to each

drive and collectively define the drive’s geometry.

Low-level formatting.

Seagate

AT interface drives are

low-

level formatted at the factory and do not need low-level format-

ting.

Partitioning.

A drive can be divided into partitions that behave

as individual drives within the system. Versions of DOS earlier

than 4.0 limit the maximum drive capacity and consequently

require higher capacity drives to be divided into smaller parti-

tions. For DOS users, each partition is assigned a different

letter, for example, C: and D: for a drive with two partitions.

Use the DOS FDISK utility to partition the drive. After the drive

has been defined in CMOS, you must boot the system to the

floppy drive with a bootable DOS diskette. Then run the FDISK

utility to partition the drive. Refer to your DOS manual for using

FDISK. Use DOS 3.3 or higher.

Caution. If you partition or format a drive at any level, you

erase all your data. Backup the drive first.
