Maxtor SERIAL ATA HARD DRIVE Installation Manual page 11

If you have an existing installation of Windows 2000 or XP, you must install a Windows driver for the SATA interface before
connecting the drive. See "Format the Hard Drive" on page 10 for details.
To ensure proper operation of your drive, do not use the jumper pins to the left of the 4-pin power connector (Figure 6a). If
your drive comes with a jumper pre-installed, carefully remove it using needle-nose pliers. If your drive has a single shrouded
jumper pin (see Figure 6a or 6b), please note that the plastic shroud is fixed in place. Do not attempt to remove it.
