Before You Begin

Thank you for your interest in Maxtor hard disk drives. This manual provides technical infor-

mation 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

1BEFORE unpacking or handling a drive, take all proper electro-static discharge

(ESD) precautions, including personnel and equipment grounding. Stand-alone

temperature.

3 During handling, NEVER drop, jar, or bump a drive.

4 Once 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's inter-

face connector.

6ELECTRICAL GROUNDING - For proper operation, the drive must be securely fas-

tened to a device bay that provides a suitable electrical ground to the drive base-

plate.

Please do not remove or cover up Maxtor factory-installed drive labels. They contain infor-

mation required should the drive ever need repair.Thank you for your interest in Maxtor hard
