Placing the Jumper
Most hard drives come preconfigured with one jumper in the cable select or master position
and an extra jumper in a horizontal spare position. The extra jumper can be used as a cylinder
limitation jumper (see below) if required by your system.

To place the jumper
Determine whether you will use the cable select, master, or slave jumper setting.
1.
2. Remove the plastic jumper from the jumper block.
3. Place the jumper as in Figure 6 for your drive in the position you have selected.
If you have an extra jumper, store it horizontally on the top row.

The cylinder limitation jumper (CLJ) makes the hard drive's capacity appear smaller to
the system BIOS to eliminate startup problems that can occur when the BIOS cannot
detect a hard drive larger than 32 GB. The CLJ option can be used in conjunction with
the cable select, master, or slave options. If your system is a Pentium II or older, you will
probably need to use this jumper. The dotted rectangle in each of the illustrations in Figure
6 indicate where the cylinder limitation jumper should be placed if necessary. See
"Frequently Asked Questions" on page 25 for more information.
Rev. 1 Beige Power Macintosh G3 computers (identifiable by the presence of an ATI
Rage II+ graphics chip on the motherboard) and earlier models do not support hard
drives in the slave position connected to the on-board ATA controller. In addition, the
Rev. 1 Blue & White Power Macintosh G3 computers (identifiable by the absence of an
internal hard drive bracket that allows a second hard drive to be mounted above the first)
have a bug in the on-board ATA controller that can cause data corruption on hard drives
in master or slave configuration. Maxtor recommends that owners of affected systems
attach their hard drive to a Macintosh-compatible ATA PCI adapter card (not included)
instead of the on-board ATA controller.
