NOTE
Pins 1 and 2 are reserved; do not jumper!
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.

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.

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.

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.
