    HARDWARE OPTIONS 3.3.1 ATA Interface Connector The configuration of a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 60/80/120/160/ 200GB AT hard disk drive depends on the host system in which it is to be installed. This section describes the hardware options that you must take into account prior to installation.
  • Page 22 3.3.1.1 Cable Select (CS) Jumper When a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 60/80/120/160/200GB AT hard disk drive and another ATA hard disk drive are daisy-chained together, they can be configured as Master or Slave either by the CS or DS jumpers.
  • Page 23 Slave by the state of the Cable Select signal: pin 28 of the ATA bus connector. Please note that pin 28 is a vendor-specific pin that Maxtor is using for a specific purpose. More than one function is allocated to CS, according to the ATA CAM specification (see reference to this specification in Chapter 1).

    Figure 3-7 3.4.5 SATA BUS ADAPTER There are two ways you can configure a system to allow the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 hard disk drives to communicate over the SATA bus of an IBM or IBM-compatible PC: 1. Connect the drive to a SATA bus connector (if available) on the motherboard of the PC.
  • Page 29: Combination Connector (J1)

    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.

    This will reduce the effective capacity of the drive to 528Mbytes. Whenever possible the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 60/80/120/160/ 200GB AT drive should be used on systems that support LBA translation to ensure the use of the entire capacity of the disk drive. If that is not possible the following are some techniques that can be used to overcome this barrier.
