Before You Begin: Thank you for your interest in Maxtor hard disk drives. This manual provides technical

information 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 repair information, contact

the Maxtor Product Support Center at 1-800-2MAXTOR.

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

outlined here may lead to product failure, damage and invalidation of all warranties.

1 BEFORE unpacking or handling a drive, take all proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precau-

tions, including personnel and equipment grounding. Stand-alone drives are sensitive to

1 electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.

2 BEFORE removing drives from their packing material, allow them 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 on a padded,

grounded, antistatic surface.

5 NEVER 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 interface connector.

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

a device bay that provides a suitable electrical ground to the drive baseplate.

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

should the drive ever need repair.Thank you for your interest in Maxtor hard disk drives. This manual pro-

vides technical information 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 repair infor-

mation, contact the Maxtor Customer Service Center at 800-2MAXTOR or 1-303-678-2015.

2.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Maxtor’s Quickview 40 PATA hard disk drives are part of a family of high performance, 1-inch-high hard disk drives manufactured to meet the highest product quality standards.

These hard disk drives are non-removable, 3 1/2-inch hard disks and are available with the PATA interface.

The Quickview 40 20/30/40GB PATA hard disk drives feature an embedded hard disk drive controller, and use PATA commands to optimize system performance. Because the drive manages media defects and error recovery internally, these operations are fully transparent to the user.

The innovative design of the Quickview 40 hard disk drives incorporate leading edge technologies such as Ultra ATA/133, Advanced Cache Management, Shock Protection System Technology (QDT). These enhanced technologies enable Maxtor to produce a family of high-performance, high-reliability drives.

Spin-up

The drive is spinning up following initial application of power and has not yet reached full speed.

Seek

A random access operation by the drive.

Read/Write

Data is being read from or written to the drive.

Idle

The drive is spinning, the actuator is parked and powered off and all other circuitry is powered on. The drive is capable of responding to read commands within 40 ms.

Standby

The motor is not spinning. The drive will leave this mode upon receipt of a command that requires disk access. The time-out value for this mode is programmable. The buffer is active to accept write data.

Sleep

This is the lowest power state – with the interface set to inactive. A software or hardware reset is required to return the drive to the Standby state.

3.7 EPA Energy Star Compliance

Maxtor Corporation supports the goals of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star program to reduce the electrical power consumption of computer equipment.
