for your sys tem configuration, refer to
the illustrations and definitions provided
in this section.
SCSI ID J umper Settings
M axtor S CS I drives typically ship from
the factory w ith jumpers set to S CS I
ID 6, and termination power jumped.
SC S I ID 7 is us ually res erved for the
SC S I hos t adapter.
Attention: The R ear J umper Option
Connector is an OE M specific connector. M ost installations will never
use the jumper options on this
connector. Always configure the
drive us ing the jumpers at the Front
J um per Option Connector.

Handling Precautions
Allow the drive to reach
room temperature before
installing it in the computer.
Do not open the E SD bag until
youÕ re ready to install the
drive . H andle the drive by its
sides . Do not touch the circuit
board (electronics ).
Do not connect/disconnect
any drive cables w hile your
computer is turned on.
Do not drop, jar, or bump
the drive.

Other J umper Settings
TP - T erm in ation P ow er ( 12 P in O pt io n Con nector)
Pins 11-12 T ermination pow er ens ures that there is a suffic ient
powe r level along the entire S CS I bus. It is re comme nded
that the final device on the S CS I bus have the Termination
Pow er jumper installed. A ll de vice s in betw een the hos t and
final device typically have no jumper on Termination Powe r.
Note that Termination Power is not the s ame as on-board
termination, which this drive does not s upport.
S S - S tag ge r S pin
Pins 13-14 For mos t c onfigurations this option is not utilized.
M ost c urrent S CS I hos t adapters offe r a S tart Unit c ommand
enable or dis able, w hich s upersedes the functionality of the
SS jumper setting. W hen the Delay Spin (DS ) jumper is
enabled on the drive, the S tart Unit command from the S CSI
host adapter will s end S tart Unit commands to all device s on
the bus at pre-determ ined intervals. This can help prevent
powe r supply overload w hen running seve ral devices on the
SCSI bus.
W P - Wr it e Prote ct io n
Pins 11-12 B y factory default, the drive is s hipped with no
jumper on thes e pins, and the drive can be w ritten to unles s
protected by application softw are. W ith the pins jumped, the
drive can be us ed as a re ad-only device. This feature preve nts
accidental overwrites and is useful for frequently acc es sed
archive s and reference files.
Fo rc e S E Ð Fo rce S ingle E nded O per ation
Pins 17-18 B y factory de fault, the drive is s hipped with no
jumper on thes e pins . W ith mos t s ystem configurations, it is
not ne cessary to use this jumpe r. LVD drives are multi-mode
capable. They will autom atically detect the presenc e of a single-ended bus and re vert to single-ended mode.
DS - De la y S pin
Disable Delay S pin: N o jumper across pins 15-16 (factory
default). Dis abling Delay S pin allows the drive to spin up
whe n the sys tem is powere d up.
Ena bl e Dela y S pin: J umper across pins 15-16 This se tting
will prevent the drive from spinning up until it rec eives a S tart
Unit com mand from a S CS I host adapter. M ost S CS I hos t
adapters have the Start U nit command enabled by default in
the host adapter BIO S. Enabling Delay Spin is only nec ess ary
whe n you are starting m ultiple devices at powe r on.
S C S I ID
Pin numbers 1-8 are typically referred to in pairs as A 0 (pins 1
and 2), A1 (3,4 ), A2 (5,6), A3 (7,8 ). The jumper pairs will allow
configuration of S CS I ID' s 0 to 15. All S CS I devic es must have
an individual ID on the S CS I bus (the re is no M aste r/Slave setting). S CSI ID 7 is usually res erved for the SC SI host adapter.
Fa ult LE D and Busy Out J um pe rs
Typical installations do not require the use of the Fault L ED
and B usy O ut jumpers. The B usy Out s ignal is us ually s upplied
through the PC I bus to the P C m otherboard's B usy indicator
LE D. If conne cting the Bus y Out jum per for a drive ins talled in
an e xternal c ase, pleas e refer to the w iring docume ntation supplied by the manufac turer of the cas e. Connection of the Fault
LE D is not rec ommended in internal or external ins tallations.
