The Caviar can be assigned as either a single, master, or slave drive. Caviar drives are shipped with a jumper shunt in the neutral storage position (across pins 5 and 3). Dual Installations ------------------ Dual Installations require a master/slave drive configuration, where one drive is designated as the primary (master) drive and the other is designated as the secondary (slave) drive. The Caviar drive is compatible in dual installations with other IDE drives that support a master/slave configuration. Jumper Settings --------------- The Caviar drive has a jumper block (J8) located next to the 40-pin connector on the drive. The Caviar can be assigned as either a single, master, or slave drive. Caviar drives are shipped with a jumper shunt in the neutral storage position (across pins 5 and 3). Single Drive Mode - If you are installing the Caviar drive as the only hard drive in the system, leave the jumper in the neutral storage position. Jumpers are not required for single drive installations. Note that even with no jumper installed, the Caviar checks the DRIVE ACTIVE/SLAVE PRESENT (DASP) signal to determine if a slave IDE drive is present. If you have a dual installation (two hard drives), you must designate one of the drives as the master and the other as the slave drive. The jumper pins on the J8 connector need to be configured for the dual installation. Master Drive Mode - To designate the drive as the master, place a jumper shunt on pins 5-6. With the Caviar configured as the master drive, the Caviar assumes that a slave drive is present. The jumper on pins 5-6 is optional if the slave drive follows the same protocol (Common Access Method AT Bus Attachment) as the Caviar. Slave Drive Mode - To designate the drive as the slave, place a jumper shunt on pins 3-4. When the Caviar is configured as the slave drive, the Caviar delays spin up for three seconds after power-up reset. This feature prevents overloading of the power supply during power-up. Cable Select (CSEL) - Caviar also supports the CSEL signal on the drive cable as a drive address selection. Place a jumper shunt on pins 1-2 to enable this option. When enabled, the drive address is 0 (Master) if CSEL is low, or 1 (Slave) if CSEL is high. Do not install the CSEL jumper shunt when installing the Caviar drive in systems that do not support the CSEL feature. Alternate Jumper Settings for Drives Larger than 2.1 GB ======================================================= On initial boot, the system BIOs may lock up on drives that have more than 4095 cylinders (driver larger than 2.1 GB). Alternate jumper setting have been provided for the Caviar drives that are larger than 2.1GB to overcome this system BIOS limitation. These jumper settings cause the drive to report 4092 cylinders (instead of the usual 4960,6296 or 7752) in Word 1 of the Identify Drive data. The true capacity is still reported in Word 54 and Word 60-61. All other Identify Drive data remains the same. Special software is required for DOS and Windows operating systems to utilize the full capacity of drives larger than 2.1 GB. +5-3-1+ Single Drive +5-3-1+ Master Drive |X X o| Configuration |X o X| Configuration |X X o| |X o X| (Dual Drives) +6-4-2+ +6-4-2+ +5-3-1+ Slave Drive |o X X| Configuration |o X X| (Dual Drives) +6-4-2+ ********************************************************************** I N S T A L L ********************************************************************** WESTERN CAVIAR INSTALLATION Notes on installation ===================== Installation direction ---------------------- horizontally vertically +-----------------+ +--+ +--+ | | | +-----+ +-----+ | | | | | | | | | +-+-----------------+-+ | | | | | | +---------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +---------------------+ | +-----+ +-----+ | +-+-----------------+-+ +--+ +--+ | | | | +-----------------+ The drive will operate in all axis (6 directions).

These numbers are located on the drive label. Create a Bootable DOS Disk -------------------------- For single hard drive installations, you must have a bootable DOS disk to install your new hard drive with EZ-Drive. Disk 1 of your standard DOS installation disk set is a bootable disk. If you do not have your original DOS installation disks, you can create a bootable DOS disk if you have a bootable C: hard drive. 1. Insert a blank floppy disk into drive A. 2. At the C: prompt, type format a:/s. Press ENTER. Create a Windows 95 Startup Disk For Windows 95 systems, you must have a bootable DOS or Windows 95 Startup disk to install your new hard drive with EZ-Drive. If using Windows 95, you should create a Windows 95 Startup disk. To create a Windows 95 Startup disk you must have a bootable C: hard drive. 1. Insert a blank floppy disk into drive A. 2. From Windows 95, click My Computer. 3. Click Control Panel. 4. Click Add/Remove Programs. 5. Select the Startup Disk table 6. Click Create Disk. Follow the prompts to create a Windows 95 Startup disk. Back Up Existing Drives ----------------------- Protect your data by backing up your existing hard drive before installing your new Western Digital hard drive. Save the data to removable media such as floppy disks or tape. Most operating systems include a backup utility. Consult your operating system or utilities documentation for backup instructions. Unpacking and Handling the Hard Drive ------------------------------------- Western Digital hard drives are precision instruments and should be handled with care during unpacking and installation. Hard drives are typically damaged by rough handling, shock, vibration, or electrostatic discharge (ESD). Be aware of the following precautions when unpacking and installing your Western Digital hard drive. Do not unpack your hard drive until you are ready to install it. After your Western Digital hard drive is unpacked, place the drive on the static shielding bag on a clean, level, padded work area. Your Western Digital hard drive comes packaged in a static shielding bag. Save the packing materials in case you need to return your hard drive. Shipping your hard drive in anything other than the original packaging or Western Digital supplied or approved materials will void your warranty. To avoid ESD problems, ground yourself by touching the metal chassis of the computer before handling the hard drive. Articles of clothing generate static electricity. Do not allow clothing to come in direct contact with the hard drive or circuit board components. Handle the hard drive by the sides only. Avoid touching the circuit board components. Do not drop or knock the hard drive. Before installation, do not stack hard drives or stand your Western Digital hard drive on its edge. You can, however, mount your hard drive horizontally or vertically. Do not remove the tape seal or any labels from the drive; the warranty will be void. Open Your Computer ------------------ 1. Turn off your system. 2. Discharge static electricity by touching the metal chassis of the computer. 3. Unplug your computer. 4. Remove the computer's outside cover. Consult your computer system manual for details. Be sure to keep all screws and other parts together for easy reassembly. WD Caviar Series 3.5-Inch EIDE Hard Drives (EZ-Drive 9.06W) ----------------------------------------------------------- This document is for use with EZ-Drive 9.06W. Check the version number on the EZ-Drive diskette. DRIVE AC2540 AC2635 AC2700 AC2850 AC21000 AC31000 AC11200 AC21200 AC31200 AC11600 AC21600 AC31600 AC22000 AC12100 AC22500 AC12500 AC33100 AC13200 AC23200 AC33200 AC34000 AC24300 AC34300 AC25100 AC35100 AC36400 AC38400 AC310100 Removing Existing Hard Drives ----------------------------- If replacing an existing drive, follow these instructions. IMPORTANT. Be sure to turn off the system power and unplug the power cord. 1. Disconnect the power cord and IDE interface cable. 2. Remove screws and slide the hard drive out of the drive bay. Handle the hard drive with care. Be careful not to scratch, tear, or remove the tape seal on the drive; this will void the warranty. Step 1. Jumpers --------------- Western Digital hard drives have a jumper block (J8) located next to the 40-pin IDE connector on the hard drive. These jumpers select options on the hard drive. Your hard drive may have either a 6-pin or 10-pin jumper block. The first 6 pins on each jumper block are identical. The additional four pins on the 10-pin jumper block are reserved for future enhancements. The Western Digital hard drive is factory set for single drive installation with a jumper in the neutral storage position (across pins 5-3 or 6-4). The Cable Select jumper option is usually not required. It needs special support in your system hardware. Single Hard Drive Installation ------------------------------ If installing your new Western Digital hard drive as the only hard drive in your system, leave the jumper in the neutral storage position for possible future use. Jumpers are not required for single hard drive installations. Dual Hard Drive Installation ---------------------------- If installing your new Western Digital hard drive with an existing drive on the same IDE interface cable, use a jumper to designate the master (C:) and the slave (D:) drive. If installing your new Western Digital hard drive with an existing drive on separate IDE interface cables, leave the jumper in the neutral storage position for possible future use. The system recognizes each drive as a single, stand-alone drive. Master/slave jumper settings are only used when there are two devices on the same IDE interface cable. Note for Apple Users: Apple systems do not support master/slave configurations. You can only install one EIDE hard drive to each port. This jumper should be repositioned to select the following options: To designate the Western Digital hard drive as the master drive in a two-drive system, place the jumper on pins 5-6. To designate the Western Digital hard drive as the slave drive in a two-drive system, place the jumper on pins 3-4. If installing your new Western Digital hard drive with a non-Western Digital hard drive, obtain jumper configuration information from the EZ-Drive software diskette, or your original drive manufacturer. Setting the Jumper ------------------ Carefully place the jumper over the two pins. Push the jumper into place until it is firmly seated against the base of the jumper block. Step 2. Mounting Hardware ------------------------- Inspect the bay to determine whether it is a 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch bay. The Western Digital hard drive fits into a 3.5-inch bay. If installing the Western Digital hard drive in a 5.25-inch bay, you must install the 5.25-inch mounting hardware that is provided. You might also need to install the system manufacturer's drive rails. Consult your system manual for instructions on how to install a 3.5-inch bay. Installing the 5.25 Mounting Hardware ------------------------------------- This step is not required for hard drive installations into a 3.5-inch drive bay. 1. Gently place the hard drive horizontally (circuit board side down) on top of the static shielding bag placed on a flat, padded surface. 2. Attach the mounting brackets to the hard drive using the screws provided. For proper grounding, be sure to use ALL FOUR screws. IMPORTANT. Be sure to use the screws provided in your hard drive package. Screws that are too long damage circuit board components. Each screw must engage no more than six threads (3/16 inch). Step 3. Drive Rails (Optional) ------------------------------ Some computer systems have 5.25-inch drive bays that require unique sliding drive rails to complete the hard drive installation. Because each system manufacturer has a different type of drive rail, rails are not included with Western Digital hard drives. If your system requires drive rails, contact the computer system manufacturer. The following list provides phone numbers for common system manufacturers. IMPORTANT. Your system must be turned off before connecting or disconnecting the power supply to the drive. 1. Thread the cable through the empty drive bay and slide in the Western Digital hard drive. 2. Attach the end of the 40-pin IDE interface cable to the 40-pin connector on the back of the Western Digital hard drive. Match pin socket 1 on the IDE cable (indicated by a color stripe on the cable) to pin 1 on the Western Digital hard drive. Note for Apple Users: Do not use the IDE interface cable supplied in this package in an Apple system; use an Apple-supplied interface cable only. Pin 40 on an Apple-supplied interface cable is indicated by a color stripe on the cable. 3. Attach the computer system power supply cable to the 4-pin power connector on the back of the Western Digital hard drive. The 4-pin connector is keyed to ensure proper insertion. 4. Single Installations: Attach the end of the 40-pin IDE interface cable from the Western Digital hard drive to the 40-pin connector on the motherboard or controller card. Match pin socket 1 (indicated by a color stripe on the cable) on the IDE interface cable (next to the drive power connector) to pin 1 on the motherboard or controller card. Dual Installations: Connect the two hard drives by using a 40-pin, three-connector IDE interface cable. A 40-pin, three-connector IDE interface cable is included in this hard drive package. Match pin socket 1 on the 40-pin, three-connector IDE cable to pin 1 on the drive's connector. 5. Mount the Western Digital hard drive in the drive bay using the four mounting screws provided. For proper grounding, be sure to use ALL FOUR screws. If your system does not have an extra power connector, purchase a Y-adapter from your computer dealer. 6. Check all cable connections. Replace the system cover. 7. Plug in your computer. 8. See the EZ-Drive Software Installation section for hard drive setup instructions. ********************************************************************** F E A T U R E S ********************************************************************** MAXTOR DIAMOND MAX PLUS 2500 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR AN IDE DRIVE --------------------------------------- 1. Install a 40 pin Data Cable ensuring that pin 1, which can be identified by the striped edge of the cable, is closest to the power connector on the drive. 2. Install a DC power cable to the back of the drive. 3. Verify the jumper configurations for Master/Slave operation (Note: Master will be the bootable drive. The slave will not be bootable.) Also make sure the existing C: drive is jumped to be the Master in a two drive system, not the only drive in the system. 4. Apply power to the computer. 4a. When memory test is complete go into your system's Standard CMOS set-up. (Note: There are various ways to get into CMOS set-up, please refer to system's manual for instructions.) 4b. If your system's BIOS supports a user programmable drive type, program the BIOS with the default parameters of your drive. If your system does not support a user programmable drive type choose parameters that closely match but do not exceed the drives MegaByte capacity. Escape from set-up then choose write to CMOS and exit. 5. Boot from a DOS diskette that has FDISK.EXE and FORMAT.COM on it. At the A> prompt type in FDISK. At the menu options select option 1 to create a DOS partition. Another menu will appear and from those options choose 1 to create a Primary DOS partition. Select yes to make 1 large partition and it will automatically become active. Then escape from FDISK. 6. At the A> prompt type in FORMAT C:/S This does a high-level format on the drive and transfers the system files in order for the drive to be bootable. (Note: IDE drives are low-level formatted from the manufacturer and only need a high-level format). To configure the drive as a slave drive repeat steps 1-4 and proceed with steps 5a. and 6a. as follows: 5a. At the C> prompt type in FDISK. When the menu options appear select option 5 to switch to the second drive. Enter fixed disk drive number 2. Then choose option 1 to create a DOS partition, then select option 1 again to create a Primary DOS partition or option 2 to create an Extended DOS partition. (Note: C and D drives will always be the Primary partitions but only the Primary partition on C: will have a status of active). 6a. Proceed with a high-level format on the drive by typing FORMAT D: (Note: Make sure the correct drive letter has been selected for format). 7. The drive is now bootable. As a test remove the DOS diskette from A and press reset to reboot the computer, a C> should be displayed, the drive is now ready for operation. ********************************************************************** G E N E R A L ********************************************************************** WESTERN AC ULTRA66 IMPORTANT --------- Use EZ-Drive 9.10WD or later installation software to access the full capacity of your 8.4 GB and larger hard drives.
