2.1PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Maxtor’s DiamondMax Plus9 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 DiamondMax Plus9 60/80/120/160/200GB AT hard disk drives
feature an embedded hard disk drive controller, and use ATA commands

3.2UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:The maximum limits for physical shock can be exceeded if the
drive is not handled properly. Special care should be
taken not to bump or drop the drive. It is highly recommended
that Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 drives are not stacked or placed
on any hard surface after they are unpacked. Such handling could
cause media damage.
1. Open the shipping container and remove the packing assembly
that contains the drive.
2. Remove the drive from the packing assembly.
CAUTION:During shipment and handling, the antistatic electrostatic dis-
charge (ESD) bag prevents electronic component
damage due to electrostatic discharge. To avoid accidental damage to the drive, do not use a sharp instrument to open the ESD
bag and do not touch PCB components. Save the packing materials for possible future use.
3. When you are ready to install the drive, remove it from the ESD
bag.

Installation
The configuration of the following three jumpers controls the drive’s five
modes of operation:
• CS – Cable Select
• DS – Drive Select
• CLJ– Cylinder Limitation Jumper
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 and CLJ 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.
Table 3-1 AT Jumper Options
CSDSPIN 28DESCRIPTION
00XDrive is configured as a slave
10GndDrive is configured as Master (Device 0) when
attached to the end of a 80 conductor Ultra ATA
cable
01XDrive is configured as a Master
10OpenDrive is configured as a Slave (Device 1) when
attached to the middle of a 80 conductor Ultra ATA
cable
11XDrive is configured as a Master with an attached slave
that does not support DASP
Note: In Table 3-1, a 0 indicates that the jumper is removed,
a 1 indicates that the jumper is installed, and an X indicates that the jumper setting does not matter.
3.3.1.1Cable Select (CS) Jumper
When a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 60/80/120/160/200GB 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.
3-6Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 60/80/120/160/200GB AT
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 DiamondMax Plus9 60/80/120/160/200GB 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.
3.3.1.2Drive Select (DS) Jumper
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.
Installation
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.
3.3.1.3Master Jumper Configuration
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
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.

3.3.1.4Cylinder Limitation Jumper (CLJ)
For user capacities below 66,055,248 sectors (32GB), inserting the CLJ
jumper limits the Number of Cylinders field 1 to a value of 16,383, as
reported in IDENTIFY DEVICE data word. 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.
A summary of these effects for the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 drives is
