Setup

Master/Slave | Installation Notes | Placing in Computer


caution!!

 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.
  • Space should be kept around the drive to avoid any contact with other parts, which may occur due to shock or vibration.
  • 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

  1. Determine mounting configuration (the drive can be mounted in either a horizontal or vertical orientation)
  2. Configure drive for system application.
  3. Configure the adapter board for the specific system application (if required).
  4. Install adapter board into an unused PC/AT 16 bit slot (if required).
  5. 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.)
  6. Set correct drive type in system CMOS
  7. Refer to applicable manuals for software installation instructions.
note! Important Note: Disconnect power from your computer system before beginning installation.
