Handling Precautions

Allow the drive to reach
room temperature before
ins talling it in the computer.
Do not open the E S D bag until
youÕre ready to ins tall the
drive. Handle the drive by its
s ides . Do not touch the circuit
board (electronics ).
Do not connect/dis connect
any drive cables w hile your
computer is turned on.
Do not drop, jar, or bump
the drive.

Installing 5.25-inch Mounting Brackets
If the hard drive will be installed in a 5.25-
inch device bay, attach mounting brackets
(available separately) to the hard drive as
shown in the figure below.

Backup Your Data

M axtor highly recommends that you
make a backup copy of your files before
installing the new M axtor hard drive.
Pleas e refer to your computer us er
manual for more information.
Other J umper Settings
T P - T erm ination Pow er (12 Pin Option Connector)
Pins 11-12 T ermination power ensures that there is a sufficient
power level along the entire S CS I bus . It is recommended
that the final device on the S CS I bus have the Termination
Power jumper ins talled. All devices in between the hos t and
final device typically have no jumper on Termination Power.
Note that Termination Power is not the s ame as on-board
termination, which this drive does not s upport.
S S - S tagger S pin
Pins 13-14 For most configurations this option is not utilized.
M ost current S CS I host adapters offer a S tart Unit command
enable or disable, which supersedes the functionality of the
S S jumper setting. W hen the Delay S pin (DS ) jumper is
enabled on the drive, the S tart Unit command from the S CS I
host adapter will send S tart Unit commands to all devices on
the bus at pre-determined intervals. This can help prevent
power supply overload when running several devices on the
S CS I bus.
W P - W rite Protection
Pins 11-12 B y factory default, the drive is s hipped with no
jumper on thes e pins , and the drive can be written to unles s
protected by application s oftware. W ith the pins jumped, the
drive can be used as a read-only device. This feature prevents
accidental overwrites and is us eful for frequently acces s ed
archives and reference files .
Force S E Ð Force S ingle E nded Operation
Pins 17-18 B y factory default, the drive is shipped with no
jumper on these pins. W ith most system configurations, it is
not necessary to use this jumper. LVD drives are multi-mode
capable. They will automatically detect the presence of a sin-
gle-ended bus and revert to single-ended mode.
DS - Delay S pin
Dis able Delay S pin: No jumper acros s pins 15-16 (factory
default). Dis abling Delay S pin allows the drive to s pin up
when the s ys tem is powered up.
E nable Delay S pin: J umper across pins 15-16 This setting
will prevent the drive from spinning up until it receives a Start
Unit command from a S CS I hos t adapter. M os t S CS I hos t
adapters have the S tart Unit command enabled by default in
the host adapter B IOS. Enabling Delay Spin is only necessary
when you are starting multiple devices at power on.
S CS I ID
Pin numbers 1-8 are typically referred to in pairs as A0 (pins 1
and 2), A1 (3,4), A2 (5,6), A3 (7,8). The jumper pairs will allow
configuration of S CS I ID's 0 to 15. All S CS I devices must have
an individual ID on the S CS I bus (there is no M aster/S lave set-
ting). S CS I ID 7 is usually reserved for the S CS I host adapter.
Fault LE D and B us y Out J um pers
Typical installations do not require the use of the Fault LE D
and B usy Out jumpers. The B usy Out signal is usually supplied
through the PCI bus to the PC motherboard's B usy indicator
LE D. If connecting the B usy Out jumper for a drive installed in
an external case, please refer to the wiring documentation sup-
plied by the manufacturer of the case. Connection of the Fault
LE D is not recommended in internal or external installations.
