Before You Begin

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

mation for OEM engineers and systems integrators regarding the installation and use of Maxtor Serial ATA

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

tion required should the drive ever need repair. Drive repair should be performed only at an authorized

repair center. For repair information, contact the Maxtor Product Support Center at 1-800-2MAXTOR.

CAUTION: Maxtor Serial ATA hard drives are precision products. Failure to follow these precautions and

guidelines outlined here may lead to product failure, damage and invalidation of all warran-

ties. Please refer to chapter 3 of this manual for more information on handling instructions.

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 ESD

damage.

2BEFORE removing drives from their packing material, allow the hard drive to reach room

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 flat on a padded,

grounded, antistatic surface. NEVER stack hard drives. This may cause damage to the drive.
