SCSI ID J umper Settings
M axtor S CS I drives typically s hip from
the factory with jumpers s et to SCS I
ID 6, and termination power jumped.
SCS I ID 7 is usually res erved for the
SCS I hos t adapter.

Installing Drive Inside
of Y our Computer System
M ake sure your computer
is pow ered dow n before
installing the drive.
The following illustrations are
of typical computer s ystems and
hard drive mounting styles.
Your computer may have a different
mounting style. Pleas e refer to your
computer us er manual for more
information.
Be s ure to secure the drive to the
device bay w ith all four s crews.
The drive should be oriented
with its printed circuit board
facing down.
Installing 5.25-inch Mounting Brackets
If the hard drive w ill be installed in a 5.25-
inch device bay, attach mounting brackets
(available separately) to the hard drive as
shown in the figure below.

Note: M axtor LVD S CS I drives do not
s upport on-board termination. M axtor
recommends the us e of Active LVD
terminators and 68-pin twisted pair
cabling.
SCS I hos t adapter manufacturers
usually supply proper cabling and
termination w ith the purchase of an
LVD SCS I hos t adapter.
Attention: The R ear J umper Option
Connector is an OE M s pecific con-
nector. M os t ins tallations w ill never
use the jumper options on this
connector. Always configure the
drive using the jumpers at the Front
J umper Option Connector.
Other Jumper Settings
TP - Term ination Pow er (12 Pin Option Connector)
Pins 11-12 T ermination pow er ensures that there is a s ufficient
power level along the entire S CS I bus . It is recommended
that the final device on the SCS I bus have the Termination
Power jumper installed. All devices in betw een the host and
final device typically have no jumper on Termination Power.
Note that Termination Pow er is not the same as on-board
termination, which this drive does not support.
S S - S tagger S pin
Pins 13-14 For mos t configurations this option is not utilized.
M os t current S CS I hos t adapters offer a S tart Unit command
enable or disable, w hich supersedes the functionality of the
SS jumper s etting. W hen the Delay Spin (DS ) jumper is
enabled on the drive, the S tart Unit command from the S CSI
host adapter will send S tart Unit commands to all devices on
the bus at pre-determined intervals. This can help prevent
power s upply overload when running s everal devices on the
SCS I bus.
W P - W r ite Protectio n
Pins 11-12 B y factory default, the drive is s hipped with no
jumper on these 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 overw rites and is useful for frequently acces s ed
archives and reference files .
Force S E ÐForce S ingle Ended Operation
Pins 17-18 B y factory default, the drive is shipped with no
jumper on thes e pins. W ith mos t s ys tem configurations , it is
not necess ary to use this jumper. LVD drives are multi-mode
capable. They will automatically detect the pres ence of a sin-
gle-ended bus and revert to s ingle-ended mode.
DS - Delay S pin
Dis able Dela y S pin: No jumper acros s pins 15-16 (factory
default). Dis abling Delay S pin allows the drive to spin up
when the s ystem is pow ered 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 ost S CSI hos t
adapters have the S tart Unit command enabled by default in
the hos t adapter BIOS. E nabling Delay S pin is only necess ary
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 SC S I ID's 0 to 15. All S CS I devices must have
an individual ID on the S CSI bus (there is no M aster/Slave s et-
ting). SC S I ID 7 is us ually reserved for the S CS I hos t adapter.
Fault LE D and B us y O ut J umpers
Typical installations do not require the use of the Fault LE D
and B usy Out jumpers . The B usy Out signal is usually s upplied
through the PCI bus to the PC motherboard's Busy indicator
LE D. If connecting the B usy Out jumper for a drive installed in
an external case, pleas e refer to the wiring documentation s up-
plied by the manufacturer of the cas e. Connection of the Fault
LE D is not recommended in internal or external ins tallations .

Partitioning
F o r m a t t i n g
M axtor hard drives can accept nearly all
operating s ys tems . S ome operating s ys -
tems have volume s ize limitations that
may require you to partition your drive
into multiple volumes . Pleas e refer to
your s ys tem or S CS I adapter card user
guide for information about formatting
and partitioning the drive.
General Guidelines
¥ DO S / W in dow s 9X / M E :
Us e FD IS K .E XE to partition and
FO R M AT.C OM to form at the drive.
¥ W i ndo w s N T /2000:
B oot your sys tem from the installa-
tion floppy dis ks provided with the
OS to partition and format the drive.
If you do not have the original installa-
tion floppies, you can create them
using your W indows ins tallation CD.
¥ W indow s X P :
B oot your sys tem from the W indows
XP installation CD to partition and for-
mat the drive. If your sys tem is not
capable of booting from a CD, you
can download bootable W indows XP
installation floppies from M icros oft' s
website at ww w.micros oft.com
¥ M acintos h: M os t non-Apple branded
hard drives can be formatted using
the Drive S etup utility included in M ac
OS 8.6 and above. Mac OS versions
before 8.6 w ill require a third-party
hard drive utility s uch as FW B Hard
Disk Toolkit (www.fw b.com) or Intech
Hard Dis k S pe edTools
(www.intechusa.com) to partition and
initialize the drive. Please vis it the
