Introduction 1-4 Maxtor DiamondMax 17 80-160GB Serial ATA Hard Drive
Chapter 2 General Description Serial ATA is a high-speed link replacement for the Parallel ATA attachment of mass storage devices. The serial link employed is a high-speed differential layer that utilizes Gigabit technology and 8b/10b encoding. This chapter will provide you with an overview of key features of the DiamondMax 17 80-160GB Serial ATA hard disk drive, performance data, reliability, and versatility data. Performance and installation data are provided in chapters 3 and 4 respectively. 2.
General Description 2.
General Description Reliability – 550k hours mean time expected until failure (MTTF) – Automatic retry on read errors – S.M.A.R.T. 4 (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) – Transparent media defect mapping – High performance, in-line defective sector skipping – Reassignment of defective sectors discovered in the field, without reformatting – Data Protection System to verify drive integrity – Quiet Drive Technology 2.
General Description 2.1 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS The DiamondMax 17 Serial ATA hard disk drive is compatible with the IBM PC AT, and other computers that are compatible with the IBM PC AT. It connects to the PC either by means of a third-party SATA adapter board, or by plugging a cable from the drive directly into a PC motherboard that supplies a SATA interface.
Chapter 3 Installation This chapter explains how to unpack, configure, mount, and connect the Maxtor DiamondMax 17 80-160GB Serial ATA hard disk drive prior to operation. It also explains how to start up, format, and operate the drive. 3.1 SPACE REQUIREMENTS Figure 3-1 shows the external dimensions of the DiamondMax 17 80-160GB Serial ATA hard disk drive. For more information, please refer to Chapter 4 for detailed product specifications.
Installation 3.2 UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: The maximum limits for physical shock can be exceeded if the drive is not handled properly. Special care should be taken not to bump or drop the drive. It is highly recommended that the DiamondMax 17 80-160GB Serial ATA hard drives are not stacked or placed on any hard surface after they are unpacked. Such handling could and will cause media damage.
Installation Figure 3-2 20-Pack Shipping Container 3.3 HARDWARE OPTIONS 3.3.1 Serial ATA Interface Connector The Maxtor DiamondMax 17 80-160GB Serial ATA hard disk drive ships with 2 no connect (NC) pins for the purpose of storing a jumper when not in use. For normal operations, no action is necessary. However, if your motherboard does not support the Gen. II (3Gbps) data rate, you will need to limit the data transfer rate by transferring the jumper to the pins as shown in Figure 3-3.
Installation Figure 3-3 Data Transfer Rate Jumper Pin Options Figure 3-4 The Serial ATA Interface Connector Note: -5V will be disconnected from connector by the removal of R223 (o ohm) on the PCBA.
Installation 3.3.2 Serial ATA Bus Connector Some PC motherboards have a built in Serial ATA connector. These Serial ATA connectors are compatible with DiamondMax 17 80-160GB Serial ATA hard disk drives. If the motherboard has a Serial ATA connector, simply connect a 7 pin Serial ATA cable between the drive and the motherboard. See figure 3-5 3.3.

Installation The following points should be noted All pins are in a single row, with a 1.27 mm (.050”) pitch. – The comments on the mating sequence apply to the case of backplane blindmate connector only. In this case, the mating sequences are: (1) the ground pins P4 and P12; (2) the pre-charge power pins and the other ground pins; and (3) the signal pins and the rest of the power pins. – There are three power pins for each voltage.
Installation Figure 3-5 Mounting Dimensions and Screw Hole Locations 3-8 Maxtor DiamondMax 17 80-160GB Serial ATA Hard Disk Drive
Installation CAUTION: 3.5.2 The PCB is very close to the mounting holes. Do not exceed the specified length for the mounting screws. The specified screw length allows full use of the mounting hole threads, while avoiding damaging or placing unwanted stress on the PCB. The DiamondMax 17 80-160GB Serial ATA specifies the minimum clearance between the PCB and the screws in the mounting holes.
Installation Figure 3-7 Crosswise Airflow Cooling 3.6 FOR SYSTEMS WITH AN ATA ADAPTER BOARD To install the DiamondMax 17 80-160GB Serial ATA hard disk drive in an ATcompatible system without a Serial ATA connector, you need a third-party IDEcompatible adapter board. To connect the DiamondMax 17 80-160GB Serial ATA drives, use the Serial ATA cable, 1 meter long or shorter. The Serial ATA cable connectors are keyed to ensure proper orientation. 3.6.
Installation 3.7 TECHNIQUES IN DRIVE CONFIGURATION 3.7.1 Operating System Limitations Most popular operating systems available today have additional limitations which affect the use of large capacity drives. However, these limitations can not be corrected on the BIOS and it is up to the operating system manufacturers to release improved versions to address these problems. DOS and Windows 95 use a File Allocation Table (FAT) size of 16 bits which will only support partitions up to 2.1GB.
Installation 3.8.1 Big Drive Enabler (software download) Maxtor’s Big Drive Enabler is a one step executable that enables support for drives larger than 137 Gigabytes in Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 and XP Service Pack 1. This utility takes the guess work out of editing the windows registry. The Big Drive Enabler fixes an operating system limitations. This utility is needed anytime a hard drive larger than 137GB is connected to a system’s ATA bus, regardless of any system BIOS that supports 48-bit LBA.

Service and Support 6-2 Maxtor DiamondMax 17 80-160GB Serial ATA Hard Disk Drive
Glossary A BLOCK – A sector or group of sectors. ACCESS – (v) Read, write, or update information on some storage medium, such as a disk. (n) One of these operations. ACCESS TIME – The interval between the time a request for data is made by the system and the time the data is available from the drive. Access time includes the actual seek time, rotational latency, and command processing overhead time. See also seek, rotational latency, and overhead. ACTUATOR – Also known as the positioner.
Glossary CRC – Acronym for Cyclic Redundancy Check. An error detection code that is recorded within each sector and is used to see whether parts of a string of data are missing or erroneous. CYLINDER – On a disk drive that has more than one recording surface and heads that move to various tracks, the group of all tracks located at a given head position. The number of cylinders times the number of heads equals the number of tracks per drive. E ECC – Acronym for error correction code.
Glossary FORMATTED CAPACITY – The amount of room left to store data on the disk after the required space has been used to write sector headers, boundary definitions, and timing information generated by a format operation. All Maxtor drive capacities are expressed in formatted capacity. FORM FACTOR – The physical outer dimensions of a device as defined by industry standard. For example, most Maxtor disk drives use a 3 1/2-inch form factor. G GIGABYTE (GB) – One billion bytes (one thousand megabytes).
Glossary LOGICAL FORMAT – The logical drive geometry that appears to an AT system BIOS as defined by the drive tables and stored in CMOS. With an installation program like Disk Manager, the drive can be redefined to any logical parameters necessary to adapt to the system drive tables. LOOK AHEAD – The technique of buffering data into cache RAM by reading subsequent blocks in advance to anticipate the next request for data. The look ahead technique speeds up disk access of sequential blocks of data.
Glossary PLATTER – An disk made of metal (or other rigid material) that is mounted inside a fixed disk drive. Most drives use more than one platter mounted on a single spindle (shaft) to provide more data storage surfaces in a small package. The platter is coated with a magnetic material that is used to store data as transitions of magnetic polarity. POH – Acronym for power on hours.
Glossary U SPINDLE – The center shaft of the disk upon which the drive’s platters are mounted. SPUTTER – A type of coating process used to apply the magnetic coating to some high-performance disks. In sputtering, the disks are placed in a vacuum chamber and the coating is vaporized and deposited on the disks. The resulting surface is hard, smooth, and capable of storing data at high density. Maxtor disk drives use sputtered thin film disks.
