Handling Precautions
Allow the drive to reach
room temperature before
ins talling it in the computer.
Do not open the E S D bag until
youÕre ready to ins tall the
drive. Handle the drive by its
sides. Do not touch the circuit
board (electronics).
Do not connect/dis connect
any drive cables while your
computer is turned on.
Do not drop, jar, or bump
the drive.

SCSI ID J umper Settings
M axtor S CS I drives typically ship from
the factory with jumpers set to S CS I
ID 6, and termination power jumped.
S CS I ID 7 is usually reserved for the

ins talling the drive.
The following illustrations are
of typical computer systems and
hard drive mounting styles.
Your computer may have a different
mounting style. Please refer to your
computer user manual for more
information.
B e sure to secure the drive to the
device bay with all four screws.
The drive should be oriented
with its printed circuit board
facing down.
Installing 5.25-inch Mounting Brackets
If the hard drive will be installed in a 5.25-
inch device bay, attach mounting brackets
(available separately) to the hard drive as
shown in the figure below.

N ote: M axtor LVD S CS I drives do not
support on-board termination. M axtor
recommends the us e of Active LVD
terminators and 68-pin twis ted pair
cabling.
S C S I hos t adapter manufacturers
us ually s upply proper cabling and
termination with the purchase of an
LVD S CS I hos t adapter.
A ttention: The R ear J umper Option
Connector is an OE M s pecific con-
nector. M os t ins tallations will never
us e the jumper options on this
connector. Always configure the
drive us ing the jumpers at the Front
J um per Option Connector
.
Other J umper Settings
T P - T erm ination Pow er (12 Pin Option Connector)
Pins 11-12 T ermination power ensures that there is a sufficient
power level along the entire S CS I bus. It is recommended
that the final device on the S CS I bus have the Termination
Power jumper installed. All devices in between the host and
final device typically have no jumper on Termination Power.
Note that Termination Power is not the same as on-board
termination, which this drive does not support.
S S - S tagger S pin
Pins 13-14 For most configurations this option is not utilized.
M ost current SCSI host adapters offer a Start Unit command
enable or disable, which supersedes the functionality of the
SS jumper setting. W hen the Delay Spin (DS) jumper is
enabled on the drive, the Start Unit command from the SCSI
host adapter will send Start Unit commands to all devices on
the bus at pre-determined intervals. This can help prevent
power supply overload when running several devices on the
SCSI bus.
W P - W rite Protection
Pins 11-12 B y factory default, the drive is shipped with no
jumper on these pins, and the drive can be written to unless
protected by application software. W ith the pins jumped, the
drive can be used as a read-only device. This feature prevents
accidental overwrites and is useful for frequently accessed
archives and reference files.
Force S E Ð
Force S ingle E nded Operation
Pins 17-18 B y factory default, the drive is shipped with no
jumper on these pins. W ith most system configurations, it is
not necessary to use this jumper. LVD drives are multi-mode
capable. They will automatically detect the presence of a sin-
gle-ended bus and revert to single-ended mode.
DS - Delay S pin
Disable Delay S pin: No jumper across pins 15-16 (factory
default). Disabling Delay S pin allows the drive to spin up
when the system is powered up.
E nable Delay S pin: J umper across pins 15-16 This setting
will prevent the drive from spinning up until it receives a Start
Unit command from a S CS I host adapter. M ost S CS I host
adapters have the Start Unit command enabled by default in
the host adapter BIOS. Enabling Delay Spin is only necessary
when you are starting multiple devices at power on.
S CS I ID
Pin numbers 1-8 are typically referred to in pairs as A0 (pins 1
and 2), A1 (3,4), A2 (5,6), A3 (7,8). The jumper pairs will allow
configuration of SCSI ID's 0 to 15. All SCSI devices must have
an individual ID on the SCSI bus (there is no M aster/Slave set-
ting). SCSI ID 7 is usually reserved for the SCSI host adapter.
Fault LE D and B usy Out J um pers
Typical installations do not require the use of the Fault LED
and Busy Out jumpers. The Busy Out signal is usually supplied
through the PCI bus to the PC motherboard's Busy indicator
LED. If connecting the Busy Out jumper for a drive installed in
an external case, please refer to the wiring documentation sup-
plied by the manufacturer of the case. Connection of the Fault
LED is not recommended in internal or external installations.
