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 repaircenter. For repair information,contact the Maxtor Customer Service Centerat 800-2MAXTOR 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 and invalidation of all warranties.

1BEFOREunpackingor handlinga drive,take all proper electro-static discharge(ESD) precautions, includingper-

sonnel and equipment grounding. Stand-alone drives are sensitive to 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 mount-

ing 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 pro-

vides a suitable electrical ground to the drive baseplate.

Please do not remove or cover up Maxtor factory-inst alled drive labels. They contain information required should the drive ever need repair.

Regulatory Statements

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Any modifications of this device - unless expressly approved by the manufacturer - can void the user’s authority to operate this equipment under Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) This device must accept any interference that may cause undesirable operation.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, i f not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Howerver, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct t he interference by one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

NOTE: Additional information on the need to interconnect the device with shielded (data) cables or the need for special devices, such as ferrite beads on cables, is required if such means of interference suppression was used i n the qualification test for the device.This information will vary fromdevice to device and needs to be obtained from the EMC group or product manager.

This Class B digital apparat us complies with CanadianICES-003.

GENERAL DESCRIPTIO N

This chapter summarizes the general functions and key featur es of the Maxtor Atlas 10K IV family of hard disk drives,as well as the applicable standards and regulations.

2.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Maxtor Atlas 10K IV 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. There are currently three m odels in the Maxtor Atlas 10K IV series, with capacities of 36.8, 73.6, and 147.1 gigabytes (GB). These hard disk drives use nonremovable, 3 1/2-inch diameter hard disks and are available with the following SCSI configurations:

• Ultra320 SCSI, Ultra2, Ultra SCSI 68-pin Wide (16-bit)

• Ultra320 SCSI, Ultra2, Ultra SCSI 80-pin SCA-2 (16-bit)

Chapter 2

The Maxtor Atlas 10K IV hard disk drives feature an embedded SCSI drive controller and use SCSI com mands to optimize system performance. Because the drive manages media defectsand errorrecovery internally,these operations are fully transparent to the user.

The innovative design of the M axtor Atlas 10K IV hard disk drives enables Maxtor to produce a family of low-cost, high-reliability drives.

2.2 KEY FEATURES

INSTALLATION

This chapter explains how to unpack, configure, mount, and connect the Maxtor Atlas 10K IV hard disk drive prior to operation. It also explains how to start up and operate the drive.

3.1 SAFETY, HANDLING, & ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PROTECTION

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 m easure of safety.

• Read, understand, and observe a ll label warnings.

3.1.2 Handling

Damage to the drive can occur as the result of careless handling, vibration, shock, or electrostaticdischarge (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 guidelines to avoid damage to the drive:

• Always observe prescribed ESD precautions.

• 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.

Maxtor Atlas 10K IV 3-1

Installation

• Always handle the drive carefully and gently. A drop of 1/4 inch onto a bench or desktop can da ma ge 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-protectedworksurfaceto avoidthedrive beingaccidentallyknocked over.

• Do not pack other materials with the dr ive 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 drive or the m ounting brackets into the drive bay.

• Do not expose the drive to moisture.

• Do not damage any seals on the drive; doing so m ay void the warranty.

3.1.3 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection

Various electrical components within the disk drive are sensitive to static electricity andElectrostaticDischarge(ESD).Even a staticbuildup ordischargethatis too slight to feel can be sufficient to destroy or degrade a component's operation.

To minimize the possibility of ES D-related damage to the drive, we strongly recommendusing both, a properlyinstalledworkstationanti-staticmat and aproperly installed ESD wrist strap. When correctly installed, these devices reduce 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 c omponents on the PCBA.

• Leave the drive in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it in the system.

• Placethe drive on a properly grounded anti-static work surface pad when it is out of its protective anti-static bag.

• Donot use the bag as a substitute for the work surface anti-staticpad. The outside of the bag m ay not have the same anti-static properties as the inside. It could actually increase the possibility of ES D problems.

• Do not use any test equipment to check components on the electronics module. There are no user-serviceable components on the dr ive.
