Hawk 2LP (Wide) Installation Guide, Rev. A 3 Before you begin Verify that the system is switched off and discon- nected from main power before any installation is attempted. Protect yourself, the drive, and your valuable pro- grams and data by reading the following cautions and warnings.
4 Hawk 2LP (Wide) Installation Guide, Rev. A • When transporting or shipping a drive or system, please ensure that they are correctly packed in original Seagate approved (or equivalent) container and shipped via an air-ride carrier experienced in handling computer equipment.
Hawk 2LP (Wide) Installation Guide, Rev. A 5 C aution. The circuit assemblies and components con- tained in this equipment can be degraded or destroyed by Electrostatic Overstress (EOS) or by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Static electrical charges can accumulate quickly on personnel, clothing and synthetic materials.
Safety instructions 1. The disc drive(s) are to be installed in a customer supplied enclosure where the surrounding air does not exceed 50 o C. 2. Four (4) 6-32 UNC-2A screws are required for installation. Maximum screw length into side of drive is 0.
Sicherheitsanleitung 1. Däs Gerät ist ein Einbaugerät, vorgesehen für eine maximale Umgebungstemperatur von 50 o C. 2. Zur Befestigung des Drives werden 4 Schrauben benötigt (6-32 UNC-2A). Die maximale Länge der Schrauben in der unteren Seite des Chassis darf nicht mehr als 0.
Installation Overview Installation of the drive can be divided into distinct phases. Some of these may not be applicable to all system installation requirements. Refer to the indi- vidual drive installation sections for specific information on your drive model.
• Low-Level formatting: All Hawk 2LP wide family drive models are low-level formatted at the factory and do not require this step during installation. If an installed drive is low-level formatted, all user data will be lost. Note: Seagate Technology assumes no liability for lost user data.
Product repair information Service requirements The special facilities required for the manufacture of these drives generally prohibit repair in the field. If problems occur during installation, please contact your supplier for assistance. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair.
• Place drive on a flat, static dissipative surface and handle with extreme care. Always follow all EOS/ ESD precautions to avoid damage to the electrical assemblies. Shipping: When transporting or shipping a drive, a Seagate approved container must be used.
Warranty: Contact your Seagate Authorized Distribu- tor, Dealer or other purchase source for warranty information. If the drive is no longer under warranty contact pur- chase source for repair information or refer to numbers listed in section Technical Support Services.

Hawk 2LP family (Wide) information Characteristics of the various drives covered by this manual are listed in the following table. Legend for table column meanings: A = capacity, unformatted megabytes.
Initial setup information For the initial setup connect the cables or plug into a mounted connector (if applicable), set the drive ID on the bus and enable or disable the I/O line terminator resistor packs (Hawk 2LP family "W" models only). These procedures are described in paragraphs follow- ing.
Hawk 2LP (Wide) Installation Guide, Rev. A 17 DC Power connection Hawk 2LP family "W/WD" model drives receive DC power through a 4 pin connector mounted on the PCB in line with the SCSI I/O connector.
18 Hawk 2LP (Wide) Installation Guide, Rev. A SCSI address selection On "W" and "WD" model drives, make sure that the SCSI bus address jumper(s) are properly set for the bus address assigned to the drive. See Figures 3a and 3b showing the bus address select header and the jumper configurations that select addresses 0 through 15.
Terminator resistor packs As a factory installed option, Hawk 2LP family model "W" drives can have terminator resistor packs that are permanently installed, but can be enabled or disabled by jumper plug. See jumper in Figure 3a. If you are installing a single drive, the terminator resistor packs must remain enabled.
20 Hawk 2LP (Wide) Installation Guide, Rev. A Read/Write head auto-park Seagate disc drives described herein park the heads automatically at power off. This feature requires no operator intervention. Optional parity bit enable Some systems require parity bit checking.

Drive configuration Each disc drive has option select header connectors on the back, side and front where jumper plugs are in- stalled to select the way that the drive is to be config- ured or to select its ID on the I/O bus. See "Initial setup information" and see notes following Figure 3c.
Hawk 2LP family "WC" and "DC" model 80 pin SCSI I/O drives On Hawk 2LP family "WC" and "DC" model drives there is no J1-auxiliary connector. J6 can be used to set drive ID, but the host probably does it over the 80 pin interface.

Notes for Figure 3a, 3b and 3c: [1] Notes explaining the functions of the various jump- ers on jumper header connectors J2, J1-auxiliary and J6 are given below in left to right order of jumper position. The term " default " means as standard OEM units are configured when shipped from fac- tory.
28 Hawk 2LP (Wide) Installation Guide, Rev. A [4] The drive time-shares the ID and BUSY LED func- tions of J6 and J1-auxiliary. That is, a cable may be attached to one of these headers to pick up the signal that lights the external BUSY LED indicator.
