About Serial ATA

Serial ATA (SATA) technology offers you the following benefits:

• World’s fastest ATA interface

• Ideal for high-performance RAID

• Thin, easy-plug cables for improved airflow

• Simple, no-jumper installation

Unlike standard ATA drives, Serial ATA drives do not require the use of jumpers

to configure the drive.

Visit

www.maxtor.com

and click on Worldwide Support for the latest SATA

information and software updates.

Back Up Your Data

Protect your data by backing up existing hard drives before installing your new

Maxtor hard drive.

Installing the Drive in a Macintosh

For detailed information on mounting an internal drive in your Macintosh, go to

www.apple.com/support. Once you have mounted the drive, you can format

(initialize) and partition the drive using the Apple's Drive Setup utility (for Mac

OS 8.6 or higher) or Disk Utility (for Mac OS X). Note that on all beige Power

Mac G3 systems (Desktop, Minitower, All-In-One), Mac OS X can only be

installed in a partition that is within the ﬁrst 8 GB of the drive.

English

Remove System Cover

Turn your computer off.

Unplug your system from the electrical outlet.

Remove the cover from your system case. See Figure 3.

Attach a grounding strap or touch a metal portion of your computer case. This will

ground you to minimize the risk of exposing the hard drive to electrostatic discharge.

manual for instructions on

removing the cover, or obtain

the services of a qualiﬁed

5Mount the Hard Drive

English

Mount the Hard Drive

Before mounting the hard drive in your system, determine whether you are installing the hard drive in a 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch

device bay. If you are unable to locate an available device bay, consult your system manual or system manufacturer.

3.5-inch Device Bay Installation

Many systems have an available 3.5-inch bay located adjacent to the floppy drive.

• Mount the hard drive in the 3.5-inch bay using the screws provided. See Figure 4.

Mounting

Screws

Some systems may not have

enough room to plug in the cables

after the hard drive is mounted.

You may need to attach the SATA

and power supply cables ﬁrst.

5.25-inch Device Bay Installation

When installing the hard drive in a 5.25-inch bay (such as where CD-ROM drives are typically installed), you first need to attach

mounting brackets (not included) to the hard drive. Mounting brackets are available from your local computer hardware store.

Attach the mounting brackets to the hard drive using the screws included with this kit. See Figure 5 for details.

Mount the hard drive in the 5.25-inch bay using the screws provided with the mounting brackets. Position the hard drive as

close to the bottom of the device bay as possible with the label facing up.

7Attach Serial ATA and Power Cables

English

Attach Serial ATA and Power Cables

Locate an available Serial ATA (SATA) port on your motherboard or on a SATA PCI card and plug in one end of the SATA

interface cable.

Locate the SATA port on the rear of the hard drive and plug in the SATA interface cable as shown.

Your Serial ATA drive may be equipped with two power connectors. You can use either the 15 pin SATA or the 4-pin legacy

power connector. These connectors cannot be used at the same time; powering both connectors simultaneously will

damage the drive.
