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 800-2MAXTOR or 408-922-2085.

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.

1BEFORE unpacking or handling a drive, take all proper electro-static discharge (ESD) precautions, including personnel and equipment grounding. Stand-alone drives are sensitive to ESD damage.

2BEFORE removing drives from their packing material, allow them to reach room temperature.

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

4Once 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 interface connector.

6ELECTRICAL 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.

Maxtor’s D540X-4K 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 use nonremovable, 3 1/2-inch hard disks and are available with the ATA interface.

The Maxtor D540X-4K 20.4/40.0/60.0/80.0 GB AT hard disk drives feature an embedded hard disk drive controller, and use ATA 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 Maxtor D540X-4K hard disk drives incorporate leading edge technologies such as UltraATA/100, Advanced Cache Management, Shock Protection System™II (SPS II), and Data Protection System (DPS). These enhanced technologies enable Maxtor to produce a family of high-performance, high-reliability drives.

Additionally, the Maxtor D540X-4K family of drives are CE-class drives designed for the consumer electronics market. Acoustics is one of the most important features in the CE arena. These hard disk drives are available with very quiet seek codes resulting in very low acoustical emissions from the drive. This makes the Maxtor D540X-4K drives an attractive choice for most CE users.

The configuration of a Maxtor D540X-4K 20.4/40.0/60.0/80.0 GB AT hard disk drive depends on the host system in which it is to be installed. This section describes the hardware options that you must take into account prior to installation. Figure 3- 4 shows the printed circuit board (PCB) assembly, indicating the jumpers that control some of these options.

The configuration of the following four jumpers controls the drive’s modes of operation:

•CS – Cable Select

•DS – Drive Select

•PK– Jumper Parking Position (Slave mode)

•AC– Alternate Capacity

The AT PCB has two jumper locations provided to configure the drive in a system. The default configuration for the drive as shipped from the factory is with a jumper across the CS location, and open positions in the DS, PK and AC positions.

Table 3-1 defines the operation of the master-slave jumpers and their function relative to pin 28 on the interface. 1 indicates that the specified jumper is installed; 0 indicates that the jumper is not installed.

When a Maxtor D540X-4K 20.4/40.0/60.0/80.0 GB AT hard disk drive and another ATA hard disk drive are daisy-chained together, they can be configured as Master or Slave either by the CS or DS jumpers. To configure the drive as a Master or Slave with the CS feature, the CS jumper is installed (1). The drive's position on the 80 conductor Ultra ATA data cable then determines whether the drive is a Master (Device 0) or a Slave (Device 1). If the drive is connected to the end of the Ultra (cable Select) data cable the drive is a Master. If the drive is connected to the middle connection it is set as a Slave.

Installation

Once you install the CS jumper, the drive is configured as a Master or Slave by the state of the Cable Select signal: pin 28 of the ATA bus connector. Please note that pin 28 is a vendor-specific pin that Maxtor is using for a specific purpose. More than one function is allocated to CS, according to the ATA CAM specification (see reference to this specification in Chapter 1). If pin 28 is a 0 (grounded), the drive is configured as a Master. If it is a 1 (high), the drive is configured as a Slave. In order to configure two drives in a Master/Slave relationship using the CS jumper, you need to use a cable that provides the proper signal level at pin 28 of the ATA bus connector. This allows two drives to operate in a Master/Slave relationship according to the drive cable placement.

The Maxtor D540X-4K 20.4/40.0/60.0/80.0 GB AT hard disk drives are shipped from the factory as a Master (Device 0 - CS jumper installed). To configure a drive as a Slave (Device 1- DS scheme), the CS jumper must be removed. In this configuration, the spare jumper removed from the CS position may be stored on the PK jumper pins.

&TKXG 5GNGEV &5 ,WORGT

You can also daisy-chain two drives on the ATA bus interface by using their Drive Select (DS) jumpers. To use the DS feature, the CS jumper must not be installed.

To configure a drive as the Master (Device 0), a jumper must be installed on the DS pins.

Note: The order in which drives are connected in a daisy chain has no significance.

/CUVGT ,WORGT EQPHKIWTCVKQP

In combination with the current DS or CS jumper settings, the Slave Present (SP) jumper can be implemented if necessary as follows:

Note: The CS position doubles as the Slave present on this drive.

•When the drive is configured as a Master (DS jumper installed or CS jumper installed, and the Cable Select signal is set to (0), adding an additional jumper (both jumpers DS and CS now installed) will indicate to the drive that a Slave drive is present. This Master with Slave Present jumper configuration should be installed on the Master drive only if the Slave drive does not use the Drive Active/Slave Present (DASP–) signal to indicate its presence.

The PK position is used as a holding place for the jumper for a slave drive in systems that do not support Cable Select. The pins used for the parking position are vendor unique.

For user capacities below 66,055,248 sectors (32 GB), inserting the AC jumper limits the Number of Cylinders field to a value of 4,092, as reported in IDENTIFY DEVICE data word 1. This allows software drivers to determine that the actual capacity is larger than indicated by the maximum CHS, requiring LBA addressing to use the full capacity.

For larger user capacities above 66,055,248 sectors (32 GB), inserting the AC jumper limits the Total Number of User Addressable Sectors field to a value of 66,055,248, as reported in IDENTIFY DEVICE data words 60 and 61. This protects hosts which are not able to address beyond this capacity.

There are two ways you can configure a system to allow the Maxtor D540X-4K hard disk drives to communicate over the ATA bus of an IBM or IBM-compatible PC:

1.Connect the drive to a 40-pin ATA bus connector (if available) on the motherboard of the PC.

2.Install an IDE-compatible adapter board in the PC, and connect the drive

to the adapter board.

Most PC motherboards have a built-in 40-pin ATA bus connector that is compatible with the 40-pin ATA interface of the Maxtor D540X-4K 20.4/40.0/60.0/80.0 GB AT hard disk drives. If the motherboard has an ATA connector, simply connect a 40-pin ribbon cable between the drive and the motherboard.

You should also refer to the motherboard instruction manual, and refer to Chapter 6 of this manual to ensure signal compatibility.

#FCRVGT $QCTF

If your PC motherboard does not contain a built-in 40-pin ATA bus interface connector, you must install an ATA bus adapter board and connecting cable to allow the drive to interface with the motherboard. Maxtor does not supply such an adapter board, but they are available from several third-party vendors.

Please carefully read the instruction manual that comes with your adapter board, as well as Chapter 6 of this manual to ensure signal compatibility between the adapter board and the drive. Also, make sure that the adapter board jumper settings are appropriate.
