[. . . ] DiamondMaxTM Hard Drive Installation Sheet 1 Before You Begin 2 General Requirements IMPORTANT ­ PLEASE READ! Please read this Installation Sheet completely before installing the Maxtor hard drive. It gives general information for installing a Maxtor hard drive in a typical computer system. If you don't understand the installation steps, have a qualified computer technician install the hard drive. BIOS Requirements System BIOS dated prior to September 1997 do not support drives greater than 8. 4 GB. To obtain the full capacity of a drive larger than 8. 4 GB, upgrade the BIOS, install a BIOS enhancer card or use the MaxBlast installation software (version 9. 06 or newer). Handling Precautions If the handling precautions are not followed, damage to the hard drive may result ­ which may void your warranty. [. . . ] Insure that the red edge of the ribbon cable is oriented to pin 1 on the interface. NOTE: When installing a UDMA 66 DiamondMax Hard Drive (model numbers designated with a "U"), an 80 conductor cable must be used. Please use the following connection steps; 1) the blue connector must be attached to the system IDE interface; 2) the gray connector must be attached to Device 1 (slave), and 3) the black connector must be attached to Device 0 (master). Hard Drive with 5. 25-inch Mounting Brackets Installing in a Device Bay After the hard drive is prepared with mounting brackets, if required, and the jumpers are set correctly, the drive can be mounted in a device bay and secured. Be sure to secure the drive with all four screws in the device bay. This provides grounding and protection from shock and vibration. NOTE: Computer systems use different methods for mounting hard drives. Please refer to the computer user's manual or contact the manufacturer for specific mounting instructions. UDMA 66 Interface Cable 7 System Setup If the system correctly detects the drive and does not hang during the boot process, proceed to Section 8. If the system hangs during the POST, proceed to Section 9. If Auto Detect did not find the drive and no error message was presented, proceed to step 2 below. 2 Enter the BIOS menu where the hard drive definitions are displayed and select the appropriate entry (Primary Master, Primary Slave, Secondary Master or Secondary Slave ­ or their equivalents) for the Maxtor hard drive. If the SETUP program does not provide an AUTO DETECT capability, the drive parameters must be set using the User Definable Type (UDT). Set the Cylinder, Head and Sector values with the values listed on the drive label. The drive label is located on the top cover of the drive. The fields LZone (Landing Zone) and WPcom (Write Pre-comp) are not used by the Maxtor hard drive. These fields may be set to 0 or by the values assigned by the BIOS. NOTE: Each BIOS manufacturer uses different methods of identifying the UDT. Newer BIOS' from all manufacturer's will usually include an entry called "User" or "User 1. " Older BIOS' vary in the method used to identify the UDT. These changes include how to access the BIOS, the appearance of the information on the screens and the location of parameters within the BIOS. Refer to the system or BIOS manufacturers documentation help on entering the BIOS setup program for your computer. WARNING: When entering settings for the Maxtor hard drive, be careful not to change any of the other BIOS settings, or other parts of the system may not work correctly. BIOS (CMOS) Parameters In order for the computer system to recognize the new Maxtor hard drive, it is necessary to set the system BIOS with the correct information about the drive. To do this, run the system SETUP (BIOS) program. The Maxtor hard drive must be identified to the system through the BIOS and it must be registered in the BIOS based upon its position relative to the other IDE devices connected to the system and recorded in the BIOS. Most newer BIOS' provide the descriptions of Primary Master, Primary Slave, Secondary Master and Secondary Slave (see section 2) which identify the device configuration and location on an IDE interface and its relationship to the other IDE devices on the same interface or ribbon cable. [. . . ] The warranty applies only to the Maxtor products that can be identified by the Maxtor trademark, trade name or logo affixed to them. Maxtor does not warrant any product that is not manufactured by, for or with permission from Maxtor. This warranty is not applicable to; · Abnormal wear and tear · Abuse, unreasonable use, mistreatment, or neglect · Damage caused during installation of the disk drive · Damage caused by the equipment or system with which the disk drive is used · Damage caused by modification or repair not made or authorized by Maxtor · Disk drives whose Maxtor Serial Number has been removed or defaced · Damage caused by use of non-Maxtor packaging · Damage caused by improper or improperly used packaging · Damage caused by lack of ESD protection · Drives that are determined to be stolen. THIS WARRANTY AND REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHERS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. [. . . ]
