Drive Activity LED jumper.
If you install a jumper on pins 9
and 10 of the User Configuration jumper block, the drive
indicates activity to the system through a connector on the host
adapter or motherboard.
5.
Attach the
40-pin
AT interface cable. A dual-drive system
requires a
40-pin
AT interface daisy-chain cable. Pin 20 has
been removed on the connector for keying purposes.
Most interface cables have a stripe on one side to designate
Pin
I.
Make sure Pin
1
on the cable connector is aligned to Pin
1
on the drive connector and Pin
I
on the host connector. The
maximum cable length is 18 inches
(457
mm).
For systems without an embedded AT interface connector on
the motherboard, Seagate offers the
ST07A/ST08A
AT inter-
face host adapters.
6.
Note.
To prevent improper pin alignment during installation, it
is recommended that the mating cable connector be keyed, by
inserting a plug into the Pin-20 location of the cable connector.
Attach a system power cable to
the
drive power
connec-
tor.
The ST31 44 family drives have both 3-pin and 4-pin power
connectors.
7.
Mount the drive in the host system chassis.
