Caution:Your
Hard Disk Drive is a precision device and even a small drop onto any surface can cause
damage. Electronstatic discharge can also damage the drive. You should ground yourself
prior to handling the drive. |
Master/Slave Settings
Your Toshiba Hard
Disk Drive can be configured as either a "Master" or "Slave" unit.
Master configuration is used for all single drive applications, and master or slave
configuration (only one of each per port) is used for two drive applications. Use the
information in the following table before setting drive as Master or Slave.
Master configuration
is obtained by setting jumpers A, B, C & D open (no jumper present). Slave
configuration is obtained by setting jumpers C-D. When B-D jumper is installed, the drive
is configured as cable select. If pin 28 = Low, the drive is "Master", if pin 28
- High, the drive is "Slave".

Installation Notes
- The drive should be
mounted carefully on the surface of 0.1mm or less flatness to avoid excessive distortion.
- In order to
prevent short-circuit under any circumstances, a space of 0.5mm or more should be kept
under the PCB.
-
Space should
be kept around the drive to avoid any contact with other parts, which may occur due to
shock or vibration.
-
The
temperature of the top cover and the base must always be kept under 60°C to maintain the
required reliability.
-
Be sure not to
cover the
breathing
hole to keep the pressure inside the drive at a certain level
- Do not apply any
force to the top cover, except the screw areas on top cover. Maximum force to the
specified area is 2N.
- The drive contains
several parts which may be easily damaged by ESD (Electric Static Discharge). Avoid
touching the interface connector pins and the surface of PCB. Be sure to use ESD proof
wrist strap when handling drive.
- The four mounting screws should be tightened equally with 0.3N-m (3kgf-cm) torque. The
depth should be 3.0mm minimum and 3.5mm maximum.
Placing
Hard Drive inside your Computer
- Determine mounting
configuration (the drive can be mounted in either a horizontal or vertical orientation)
- Configure drive for
system application.
- Configure the adapter
board for the specific system application (if required).
- Install adapter board
into an unused PC/AT 16 bit slot (if required).
- Install the I/F cable
to the system's 44 pin connector port or adapter board. Ensure pin 1 is oriented
correctly, (pin 1 on the cable is usually identified by a red or blue strip.)
- Set correct drive type
in system CMOS
- Refer to applicable
manuals for software installation instructions.

Important Note: Disconnect
power from your computer system before beginning installation. |
