Combination Connector (J1); Figure 3-8 Serial Ata Pcb - Maxtor MaxLine Plus II 250GB AT Product Manual

3.4.5.1 SATA Bus Connector
Some PC motherboards have a built in SATA bus connector. These SATA bus
connectors are compatible with Maxtor MaXLine Plus II 250GB AT hard disk
drives. If the motherboard has a SATA connector, simply connect a 7 pin SATA
cable between the drive and the motherboard.
3.4.5.2 Adapter Board
If your PC motherboard does not contain a built-in SATA bus interface connector,
you must install an SATA bus adapter board and connecting cable to allow the drive
to interface with the motherboard. Maxtor does not supply such an adapter board,
but they are available from several third-party vendors.
Please carefully read the instruction manual that comes with your adapter board to
ensure signal compatibility between the adapter board and the drive. Also, make sure
that the adapter board jumper settings are appropriate.

COMBINATION CONNECTOR (J1)

J1 is a three-in-one combination connector. The drive's DC power can be applied
to section A or B. Do not connect both a and b to power at the same time. The
SATA interface (7-pin) uses section C. The connector is mounted on the back edge
of the printed-circuit board (PCB), as shown in Figure 3-6.
