only facilities authorized to repair Seagate drives. Seagate does

not sanction any third-party repair facilities.

Warranty. See your authorized Seagate distributor or dealer.

With regard to Disk Manager and SEG32BIT.386software,there

are no warranties, express or implied, including warranties of

merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. All such war-

ranties are expressly and specifically disclaimed.

Application. This drive uses the ATA interface and is designed

for IBM AT and compatible personal computers. It is intendedfor

use with UL-listed computers or similar products.

Hardware Configuration

Configuring the drive

1. Put on a grounded wrist strap. Wear the grounded wrist

strap throughout the installation procedure.

2. Installmaster/slavejumpers.Inatwo-drive system, youneed

to designate one drive as the master, or drive 0, and the other

driveastheslave,ordrive1.Todothis,installthemaster/slave

jumpers as shown in Figure 1. In a one-drive system, configure

the drive as a master (no jumpers installed).

Alternatively, you can configure the drive as a master or

slave using the cable select option. Cable selection re-

quires a special drive interface cable that grounds pin 28

(CSEL) on one of its two drive connectors. If you attach the

drive to the grounded CSEL connector, it becomes a mas-

ter. If you attach the drive to the ungrounded CSEL con-

nector, it becomes a slave. To use this option, the host

system and both drives must support cable select, andboth

drives must be configured for cable select. To configure a

2 Marathon 810 Installation Guide, February 1996

Marathon 810 for cable select, install both master/slave

jumpers, as shown in Figure 1 on page 4.

Attaching cables

This driveis designed for a host computer that supplies interface

signals and +5V power through a single 44-pin connector and

cable. If your computer has a fixed connector that attaches

directly to thedrive, skip ahead tothe following section, “Mount-

ing the drive.” Otherwise, attach the interface/power cable

as described below.

1. Turn off the computer and remove the battery.

2. Put on a grounded wrist strap.

3. Open your computer case. See your system manual for

instructions.

Caution. Special training or tools may be needed to service

laptopandnotebookcomputers.Insomecases,open-

ing the case may void your warranty.

4. Connect the 44-pin interface/power cable. Match pin 1 of

the cable to pin 1 of the interface connectors on the drive and

on the computer. Pin 1 is usually denoted by a stripe along

one edge of the cable. The location of pin 1 on the drive

interface connector is shown inFigure 1 on page 4. The cable

should be no longer than 18 inches (0.457 meters).

Caution. The printed-circuit cables used in laptop computers

are very delicate. Be careful not to tear them.

Mounting the drive

Mount the drive securely in the computer using M3X0.5 metric

screws in the four bottom mounting holes or the four side mounting

holes. You can mount the drive in any orientation. Be careful not to

strain or crimp the interface/power cable.

Caution. To prevent damage to the drive while mounting, take

the following precautions:

•Be careful not to bend the drive connector pins, especially

when plugging the drive into a fixed connector.

•Use mounting screws of the correct size and length.

•Gently tighten the mounting screws—do not apply more than

3 inch-pounds of torque.

•Do not insert mounting screwsmore than 0.15 inches into the

mounting holes.

Note. This drive meets industry-standard MCC mounting speci-

fications. When installing this drive in a fixed-mounting

application, you must use MCC-compatible connectors

and mounting hardware. If the mounting holes in your

computer do not line up with the mounting holes on the

drive, your computer may not be MCC-compatible.

Software and system configuration

About Disk Manager software

Many DOS-based computers cannot access more than 528

Mbytes on a single drive unless the host system:

•supportsandisconfiguredforLBAaddressingorforextended

CHS addressing,

•contains a specialized drive controller,

•runs BIOS-translation software.

Seagate provides a BIOS-translation program, Ontrack Disk

Manager, with the Marathon 810. This software not only allows

older computers to access the full capacity of the drive, but can

be used to rapidly partition and format the drive, even on newer

computers that do not require BIOS-translation software.

Marathon 810 Installation Guide, February 1996 5

Before you can run the Disk Managersoftware you must transfer

it from yournew hard disc onto a blank, bootablediskette in drive

Aof your computer (the program can only be run from drive A).

Creating a blank bootable diskette

1. Boot your computer using a bootable DOS system diskette

or bootable hard drive that contains the DOS program

FORMAT.COM.

Note. You must use a single version of DOS throughout the

installation and configuration process.

2. Type format a: /s then press ENTER.

3. Follow the instructions on the screen: Insert a new 1.4-Mbyte

diskette into drive A, and then press ENTER. The formatting

process may take several minutes.

Transferring the Disk Manager software

Note. Before you can transfer your Disk Manager software, you

must set all jumpers, attach all cables, and mount your

drive in thecomputer, as described on pages2 through5.

1. Reboot your computer using the blank, bootable diskette on

which you plan to store the Disk Manager software.

2. Run your computer’s system setup program (sometimes

called BIOS or CMOS setup). See your computer or mother-

board manual for system-specific instructions.

3. Within the system setup program, configure your new hard

drive as Drive Type 2, or enter the following values for a

user-definable drive type: 615 cylinders, 4 heads, and 17

sectors per track.

Note. These settings are temporary. They allow you to access

the drive-support software on your new hard disc.

6 Marathon 810 Installation Guide, February 1996

4. Reboot your computer again using the blank, bootable diskette.

5. You should now be able to access the software on your new

hard disc. If your new hard driveis drive C, typec:\seamove

to transfer the disc support software. Use a different drive

letter if necessary.

TheSEAMOVEprogramtransfers thedrive-support filesfrom

your new harddisc to your blank, bootable diskette in drive A.

After all the files have been transferred, SEAMOVE deletes

all the files from the hard drive, along with the temporary

partitionthatheldthem.YoumustthenrunDiskManagerfrom

your bootable software diskette to access the full capacity of

your drive.

Configuring your system BIOS

1. Restart your computer (again!) from a bootable diskette, and

enter your system setup program as described previously.

2. Within the system setup program, make sure that the correct

drive type is listed for each ATA hard drive in your computer.

Some newer computers can automatically determine drive-

type characteristics if you select the

Auto

drive-type setting.

If your computer does not provide this option, you must

manually enter the number of

cylinders

heads

and

sectors

per track

for your new drive, as shown in the table below.

Cylinders 1,571

Heads 16

Sectors per track 63

Total sectors 1,583,568

Bytes per sector 512

Capacity 810.7 million bytes

Marathon 810 Installation Guide, February 1996 7

Note. The system setup program may request information on

thedrive’swriteprecomporlandingzone.Youdonotneed

to enter any values for these parameters because your

Seagate drive does not use them.

4. Save your drive-type settings, exit the systemsetup program,

and reboot your computer using the DOS diskette.

Installing Disk Manager

Note. If you do not want to use the Disk Manager software, turn

to “Manual Formatting and Partitioning” on page 10.

1. Insert your bootable software diskette in drive A.

Manager.

3. Follow the instructions on your computer screen. From the

main menu, select

(E)asy Disk Installation

and press ENTER.

4. At this point, Disk Manager lists all the ATA hard drives thatit

can recognize on your system. You should see your new

Seagate drive and your old hard drive (if any). If either hard

drive is not recognized, exit Disk Manager and turn off your

computer.Checkallcables,jumpersandBIOSsettings.Then

run Disk Manager again.

5. If Disk Manager recognizes all your drives, select the new

drive you want to install and pressENTER. Disk Manager now

formats and partitions your new drive.

6. Follow the instructions on the Disk Manager post-installation

screens.

7. You’re done!
