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 screws more 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:
• supports and is configured for LBA addressing or for extended
CHS addressing,
or
• contains a specialized drive controller,
or
• 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.
