This chapter describes how to install the

Seagate Travan 40GB ATAPI tape drive in your

computer.

What you will need

• You will need a standard flat-bladed screwdriver

and a Phillips screwdriver to install the tape

drive in your computer.

•This tape drive must be attached to a second-

ary IDE port. If your computer has two IDE

ports, and the secondary port is not being

used, you may need to obtain a 40-pin IDE

interface cable for your tape drive. See page

8 for details.

If your computer has only a single IDE port,

you will need to obtain a new ATAPI host

adapter that provides a secondary IDE port for

the tape drive. You will also need a second

40-pin IDE interface cable for your tape drive.

See page 9 for details.

Important precautions

To protect your computer and drive from electro-

static damage, follow these guidelines:

• Before you open your computer or remove the

drive from its antistatic bag, ground yourself

by touching the metal chassis of your com-

puter or some other grounded object. For

optimal protection, use an electrostatic

grounding strap.

Note. To be properly grounded, your computer

must be plugged into a grounded electri-

cal outlet.

• Do not touch any printed circuit boards or

electronic chips on your drive or in your

computer.

Installation Procedure

Follow the steps below to install the Travan

40GB drive in your computer

Note. We recommend that you install your

backup software

before

you install your

tape drive. For more information, see the

instructions that came with the backup

software.

1. Decide where to attach the tape drive.

Before you install your tape drive, you should

determine how many IDE ports your computer

has. You may find this information in the manual

for your computer. You can also look inside your

computer and compare your system with the

illustrations on pages 8 and 9.

If your computer has two IDE ports, continue to

page 8. If your computer has only one IDE port,

see page 9.

If your computer has two IDE ports:

Most modern computers have two IDE ports.

Each port can support up to two devices (on a

single IDE cable). A hard disk is usually at-

tached to the

primary

IDE port, as shown in

Figure 1. However, the Travan 40 should not be

attached to an IDE port that is being used by a

hard disc or a sound card. Thus, you must use

the secondary IDE port for your tape drive.

If no devices or cables are attached to the

secondary IDE port (as shown in Figure 1), you

will need to obtain a second IDE cable for your

tape drive.

If a CD-ROM or other compatible device is

attached to the secondary IDE port (as shown in

Figure 2) you can install the tape drive on the

same cable as the CD-ROM.

Continue to page 10 for instructions on setting

the master-slave jumpers.

Seagate Travan 40GB User Guide 9

If your computer has only one IDE port:

• If your computer has only a single IDE port,

as shown in Figure 3, it is probably being

used by the hard disc drive. You should not

attach your tape drive to an IDE port that is

being used by a hard disc or a sound card.

In this situation, before you can install the

tape drive, you must purchase an ATAPI host

adapter that provides a second IDE port. You

will also need a second IDE cable for the

tape drive. After installing the host adapter,

set the master/slave jumpers as described on

page 10.
