For easy installation use MaxBlast software, available at www.maxtor.com.
Use an 80-conductor Ultra ATA cable with this drive to achieve the best performance.
1. Set the jumper to Cable Select if using an Ultra ATA cable, cable position determines
Master (black connector) or Slave (gray).
2. Mount the drive using two screws per side.
Do not over tighten the screws.
3. Install the power and data cables.
4. Run your computer BIOS/system setup program.
Select the Auto-detect option and enable Logical
Block Addressing (LBA). Save and Exit the setup
program.
5. Prepare the drive for use with your Operating System. See your OS instructions for
details. Be careful to select the correct drive. Always backup critical data before
making changes. Windows XP or 2000 prepares the drive during installation.
Windows ME or 98 uses FDISK and Format commands. Macintosh uses Disk Utility
in the utilities folder.
