Before You Begin: Thank you for your interest in Maxtor hard disk drives. This manual pro-
vides technical information for OEM engineers and systems integrators regarding the installation
and use of Maxtor hard drives. Drive repair should be performed only at an authorized repair cen-
ter. For repair information, contact the Maxtor Product Support Center at 1-800-2MAXTOR.
CAUTION: Maxtor hard drives are precision products. Failure to follow these precautions and guidelines
outlined here may lead to product failure, damage and invalidation of all warranties.
1BEFORE unpacking or handling a drive, take all proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precau-
tions, including personnel and equipment grounding. Stand-alone drives are sensitive to Elec-
trostatic Discharge (ESD) damage.
2BEFORE removing drives from their packing material, allow them to reach room temperature.
3During handling, NEVER drop, jar, or bump a drive.
4Once a drive is removed from the Maxtor shipping container, IMMEDIATELY secure the
drive through its mounting holes within a chassis. Otherwise, store the drive on a padded,
grounded, antistatic surface.
5NEVER switch DC power onto the drive by plugging an electrically live DC source cable into
the drive's connector. NEVER connect a live bus to the drive by plugging an electrically live
signal cable in to the drive’s interface connector.
6ELECTRICAL GROUNDING - For proper operation, the drive must be securely fastened to
a device bay that provides a suitable electrical ground to the drive baseplate.

Please do not remove or cover up Maxtor factory-installed drive labels. They contain information required
should the drive ever need repair.Thank you for your interest in Maxtor hard disk drives. This manual pro-
vides technical information for OEM engineers and systems integrators regarding the installation and use of
Maxtor hard drives. Drive repair should be performed only at an authorized repair center. For repair infor-
mation, contact the Maxtor Customer Service Center at 800-2MAXTOR or 1-303-678-2015.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Maxtor drive leadership continues with the DiamondMax 8S 40GB Serial ATA drive
- a single head, 7200RPM product. The DiamondMax 8S 40GB Serial ATA drives
combine performance and value with the Serial ATA interface making a perfect
choice for entry level consumers and commercial/business desktop systems
transitioning to the new interface.
The Serial ATA interface provides the fastest desktop interface with maximum data
transfer rates of 1.5 Gb/s and additional features.
• Native Command Queuing to improve performance
• MHX Dual Processor Architecture maximizes the performance potential of
Serial ATA
Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motors minimize drive acoustics, allowing the drive to
operate with low sound output. DiamondMax 8S 40GB Serial ATA is designed for
higher reliability. The drive’s inner diameter load/unload ramp locks the recording
head into a protective carrier to cradle the head during shipment and any other time
the drive is not in operation.
DiamondMax 8S 40GB Serial ATA drive delivers high reliability and data integrity
and is enhanced using Maxtor developed Shock Protection System (SPS) and Data
Protection System (DPS). SPS and DPS give the user enhanced protection against
both operating and non-operating shock and verify essential functions in seconds to
minimize costly drive returns.
• Serial ATA, 1.5 Gb/s
• Native Command Queuing to improve performance
• MHX Dual Processor Architecture maximizes the performance potential of
Serial ATA
• No need to add or remove jumpers for simplified system configurations
• Supports today’s entry capacity - 40GB
• Leading mainstream performance from 7200RPM rotation speed
• FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearing) motor for quiet operation
• Low height to improve airflow and cooling

General Description
Maxtor DiamondMax 8S 40GB SATA 2-2
• Low weight to reduce shipping costs
• Improved reliability with:
~ Shock Protection System
~ Data Protection System
2.2 THE SERIAL ATA INTERFACE
Serial ATA is the next generation ATA interface. It provides faster data transfer speeds,
more bandwidth, more potential for speed increases in future generations and better
data integrity. Serial ATA hardware is smaller and more compact than traditional
parallel ATA components. A powerful command set and hot plug features make Serial
ATA very attractive for RAID applications.
With a maximum external interface data transfer speed of 1.5 Gb/s, Serial ATA
improves hard drive performance to keep pace with increasing data intensive
environments such as audio/video, consumer electronics and entry-level servers.
Serial ATA brings these powerful benefits for storage solutions:
• Performance increase to 1.5Gb/s maximum external (burst) data transfer rate
• Thin cables for easy routing and improved cooling inside a PC chassis or JBOD
box
• Maximum cable length increases to 1 meter for increased design and layout
flexibility in a system
• Thinner cables improve system airflow and cooling efficiency
• Backward compatible with existing parallel ATA software and drivers, to allow
upgrading from ATA hardware to Serial ATA hardware without having to
change software drivers or applications.
For additional information about how Serial ATA emulates parallel ATA, refer to the
“Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment, revision 1.0a” specification. The
specification can be downloaded from http://www.serialata.com
