Seagate 1080SL Computer Drive User Manual


 
Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Seagate
®
drive. The purpose of this
guide is to assist you with installing your new hard drive. Its
organization outlines the complete installation process from han-
dling the drive in “Before you begin...” to offering troubleshooting
suggestions and technical support information. The topics dis-
cussed are:
Handling your drive (see “Before you begin...” on page 3)
Configuring the drive
Attaching cables to the drive
Mounting the drive
Configuring the computer
Troubleshooting
Where to call for Seagate technical support
Seagate provides installation software, EZ-Drive, and a 32-bit
disk access driver for Windows, SEG32BIT.386, that allows the
computer to surpass the 528-Mbyte barrier when it is imposed.
The software is stored on the drive and must be transferred to a
diskette in Drive A before you partition and format the drive. A
program called Seamove is provided to make the transfer easy.
We hope your installation goes smoothly, but if complications
arise, a list of common symptoms and solutions is provided in the
troubleshooting section. If the problem persists, contact your
dealer first. Your dealer is familiar with system integration and the
conflicts that may arise. If you need additional help or information
about Seagate products, numbers for Seagate technical support
services are listed on pages 34–36.
