3Introduction
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
1.
Turn your computer off.
2.
Unplug your system from the electrical outlet.
3.
Remove the cover from your system case. See Figure 3.
4.
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.

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.
1.
Attach the mounting brackets to the hard drive using the screws included with this kit. See Figure 5
for details.
2.
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
1.
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.
2.
Locate the SATA port on the rear of the hard drive and plug in the SATA interface cable as shown.
3.
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.
