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 Customer Service Center at 800-2M A XT O R or 303-678-2045.
CAUTION: Maxtor hard drives are precision products. Failure to follow these precautions and guidelines outlined here may
lead to product failure, damage an d invalidation of all warranties.
1BEFORE unpacking or handling a drive, take all proper elec tro-static discharge (ESD) precautions, including per-
sonnel and equipment grounding. Stand-alo ne drives are sensitive to ESD damage.
2 BEFORE removing drives from their packin g material , allow them to reach room temperature.
3 During han dling, NEVER drop, jar , or bump a drive.
4 Once a dr ive is removed from the Maxtor shipping container, IMMEDIATELY secure the d rive thro ugh its m ount-
ing holes w ithin a chassis. Otherwise, store the drive on a padded, grounded, antis tatic 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 pro-
vides 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.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This chapter summarizes the general functions and key features of the Maxtor
Atlas 15K family of hard disk drives, as well as the applic able standards and
regulations.
2.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Maxtor Atlas 15K hard disk drives ar e part of a family of high performance, 1-i nchhigh hard disk drives manufactur ed to meet the high est product quality standards.
There are currently three models in the Maxtor Atlas 15K series, with capacities of
18.4, 36.7, and 73.4 gigabytes (GB). These hard disk drives use nonremovable,
2 1/2-inch diameter hard disks and are available with the following SCSI
configurations:
• Ultra320 SCSI, Ultra3, Ultra SCSI 68-pin Wide (16-bit)
• Ultra320 SCSI, Ultra3, Ultra SCSI 80-pin SCA-2 (16-bit)
Chapter 2
Ultra320 Supports all legacy SC SI interfaces.
The Maxtor Atlas 15K hard disk drives feature an embedded SCSI drive controller
and use SCSI commands to optimize syst em perf ormance. Because the drive
manages media defects and error r ecovery internally, these operations are fully
transparent to the user.
The innovative design of the Maxtor Atlas 15K hard disk drives enables Maxtor to
produce a family of low-cost, high-per formance, high-reliability drives.

3.1 SAFETY, HANDLING, & ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PROTE CTION
3.1.1 Safety Precautions
For your safety, follow all safety procedures described here and in other sections of
the manual.
• Remove power from the computer system (or expansion unit) before
installing or removing the drive to prevent the possibility of electrical
shock or damage to the drive. Unplug the unit containing the drive to
provide an added measure of safety.
• Read, understand, and observe all label warnings.
3.1.2 Handling
Damage to the dri ve can occur as the r esult of carele ss handling, vib ration, shock, or
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Always handle the drive with care to avoid damage to
the precision internal components.
CAUTION: A 1/4-inch drop onto a hard surface can damage the drive.
Follow these guide lines to avoid damage to the drive:
• Alway s obs er v e pr escri b ed ES D pr eca uti o ns.
• Keep the drive in its anti-static bag until ready to install.
• Always use a properly fitted wrist strap or other suitable ESD protection
when handling the drive.
• Hold drive only by its sides. Do not touch any components on the PCBA.

Installation
• Always handle the drive carefully and gently. A drop of 1/4 inch onto a
bench or desktop can damage a drive.
• Do not bump, jar, or drop the drive. Use care when transporting the drive.
• Always gently place the drive flat, PCB side down, on an appropriate
ESD-protected work surfa ce to avoid the drive being acciden tally knocked
over.
• Do not pack other materials with the drive in its shielded bag.
• Place the drive in the anti-static bag before placing in shipping container.
• Do not stack objects on the drive.
• Never force the dr ive or the mounting brackets into the drive bay.
• Do not expose the drive to moisture.
• Do not damage any seals on the drive; doing so may void the warranty.
3.1.3 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection
Various electrical components within the disk drive are sensitive to static electricity
and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Even a sta tic buildup or dis charge that is too sli ght
to feel can be sufficient to destr oy or degrade a component's operation.
To minimize the possibility of ESD-re lated damage to the drive, we strongly
recommend using both, a properly ins talled workstation anti- static mat and a properly
installed ESD wrist stra p. When correctl y install ed, the se devices r educe the buildup
of static electricity which might harm the drive.
• Observe the following precautions to avoid ESD-related problems:
• Use a properly installed anti- static pad on your work surface.
• Always use a properly fitted and grounded wrist strap or other suitable
ESD protection when handling the drive and observe proper ESD
grounding techniques.
• Hold the drive only by its sides. Do not touch any components on the
PCBA.
• Leave the drive in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it in the
system.
• Place the drive on a pr ope rly grounded anti-static work surface pad when
it is out of its protective anti-static bag.
• Do not use the bag as a subst itute for the work sur face anti-sta ti c pad. The
outside of the bag may not have the same anti-static properties as the
inside. It could actually increase the possibility of ESD problems .
• Do not use any te st equipment to check components on the electronics
module. There are no user-service able components on the drive.
