Installation
3-18 Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 60/80/120/160/200GB AT
3.5.3 Clearance
Clearance from the drive to any other surface (except mounting
surfaces) must be a minimum of 1.25 mm (0.05 inches).
3.5.4 Ventilation
The Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 60/80/120/160/200GB AT hard disk
drives operate without a cooling fan, provided the ambient air
temperature does not exceed 131
° F (55° C) at any point along the
drive form factor envelope.
FOR SYSTEMS WITH A MOTHERBOARD ATA/SATA ADAPTER
You can install the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 60/80/120/160/200GB
AT hard disk drives in an AT-compatible system that contains a 40-pin
ATA bus connector/SATA on the motherboard.
To connect the drive to the motherboard, use a 40 conductor ribbon
cable (80 conductor ribbon cable if using Ultra ATA/66/100 or /133
drive) 18 inches in length or shorter. Ensure that pin 1 of the drive is
connected to pin 1 of the motherboard connector. To connect the drive
to the motherboard for the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 SATA drives, use
a SATA cable 1 meter long or shorter. Ensure that pin 1 of the drive is
connected to pin 1 of the motherboard connector.
3.6 FOR SYSTEMS WITH AN ATA ADAPTER BOARD
To install the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 60/80/120/160/200GB AT
hard disk drive in an AT-compatible system without a 40-pin ATA bus
connector/SATA connector on its motherboard, you need a third-party
IDE-compatible adapter board.
3.6.1 Adapter Board Installation
Carefully read the manual that accompanies your adapter board before
installing it. Make sure that all the jumpers are set properly and that
there are no address or signal conflicts. You must also investigate to see
if your AT-compatible system contains a combination floppy and hard
disk controller board. If it does, you must disable the hard disk drive
controller functions on that controller board before proceeding.
Once you have disabled the hard disk drive controller functions on the
floppy/hard drive controller, install the adapter board. Again, make sure
that you have set all jumper straps on the adapter board to avoid
addressing and signal conflicts.
Note: For Sections 3.3 and 3.6, power should be turned off
on the computer before installing the drive.
