Maxtor SATA/150 Installation Manual page 11

3. Your Serial ATA drive should be equipped with a 4-pin legacy power connector or a 15-pin SATA power
connector. If the drive has a 4-pin legacy connector (as shown in Figure 8), connect an available 4-pin power
plug from the system power supply to the drive as shown. If the drive has only a 15-pin power connector,
use a SATA power adapter cable (not included in all kits) to convert a 4-pin power plug from the power
supply into a 15-pin plug. Then attach the 15-pin plug to the 15-pin power connector on the drive.
If your drive has both 4-pin and 15-pin power connectors, do not attach power cables to both connectors;
powering both connectors simultaneously will damage the drive.
