About Serial ATA

Serial ATA (SATA) technology offers you the following benefits:

• World’s fastest ATA interface

• Ideal for high-performance RAID

• Thin, easy-plug cables for improved airflow

• Simple, no-jumper installation

Unlike standard ATA drives, Serial ATA drives do not require the use of

jumpers to configure the drive.

Visit www.maxtor.com and click on Worldwide Support for the latest

SATA information and software updates.

Back Up Your Data

Protect your data by backing up existing hard drives before installing

your new Maxtor hard drive.

Installing the Drive in a Macintosh

For detailed information on mounting an internal drive in your

Macintosh, go to www.apple.com/support. Once you have

mounted the drive, you can format (initialize) and partition the

drive using the Apple's Drive Setup utility (for Mac OS 8.6 or

higher) or Disk Utility (for Mac OS X). Note that on all beige

Power Mac G3 systems (Desktop, Minitower, All-In-One), Mac

OS X can only be installed in a partition that is within the ﬁrst

8 GB of the drive.

Required Tools

Remove System Cover 4

Remove System Cover

Turn your computer off.

Unplug your system from the electrical outlet.

Remove the cover from your system case. See Figure 3.

Attach a grounding strap or touch a metal portion of your computer case. This will

ground you to minimize the risk of exposing the hard drive to electrostatic discharge.

Figure 3

Removing the System Cover

Refer to your system user

manual for instructions on

removing the cover, or

obtain the services of a

qualiﬁed installation

technician.

5Mount the Hard Drive

Mount the Hard Drive

Before mounting the hard drive in your system, determine whether you are installing the hard drive in a

3.5-inch or 5.25-inch device bay. If you are unable to locate an available device bay, consult your system

manual or system manufacturer.

3.5-inch Device Bay Installation

Many systems have an available 3.5-inch bay located adjacent to the floppy drive.

• Mount the hard drive in the 3.5-inch bay using the screws provided. See Figure 4.

Mounting

Screws

Some systems may not have

enough room to plug in the

cables after the hard drive is

mounted. You may need to

attach the SATA and power

supply cables ﬁrst.

5.25-inch Device Bay Installation

When installing the hard drive in a 5.25-inch bay (such as where CD-ROM drives are typically installed), you

first need to attach mounting brackets (not included) to the hard drive. Mounting brackets are available from

your local computer hardware store.

Attach the mounting brackets to the hard drive using the screws included with this kit. See Figure 5

for details.

Mount the hard drive in the 5.25-inch bay using the screws provided with the mounting brackets.

Position the hard drive as close to the bottom of the device bay as possible with the label facing up.

7Attach Serial ATA and Power Cables

Attach Serial ATA and Power Cables

Locate an available Serial ATA (SATA) port on your motherboard or on a SATA PCI card and plug in

one end of the SATA interface cable.

Locate the SATA port on the rear of the hard drive and plug in the SATA interface cable as shown.

Your Serial ATA drive may be equipped with two power connectors. You can use either the 15 pin SATA

or the 4-pin legacy power connector. These connectors cannot be used at the same time; powering both

connectors simultaneously will damage the drive.
