Setting the Jumper

Most Maxtor hard drives come preconfigured with a jumper (Figure 4) in the cable
select or master position. Maxtor recommends using the cable select jumper
position in most situations for ease of configuration.
1. After removing the drive from its anti-static bag, match the jumper block on
the rear of the drive to one of the jumper block styles shown in Figure 6. If you
are unable to match your drive jumper block to one of the styles shown, refer
to the jumper settings diagram on the drive label.
2. Configure the drive as cable select (CS) by using pliers to move the jumper
into the appropriate position on the jumper block.
To properly configure cable select, all devices on the same ATA cable must use
the cable select jumper setting and be connected with a 40-pin Ultra ATA cable
like the one included. Before installing a new hard drive on an ATA cable with an
existing device, confirm that the existing device is configured as cable select.
Jumper settings may be printed on the device; however, you may need to consult
the device documentation or contact the manufacturer.
Older systems that do not support Ultra ATA/66 or are dated prior to November 1998
may not be able to use the cable select jumper option. If you are uncertain whether
your system can use the cable select option, consult your system manual, contact the
system manufacturer, or use the master/slave jumper settings instead.
