Installation

3.3.2PATA BUS ADAPTER

There are two ways you can configure a system to allow the Maxtor hard disk drives to communicate over the PATA bus of an IBM or IBM- compatible PC:

1.Connect the drive to a 40-pin PATA bus connector (if available) on the motherboard of the PC.

2.Install an IDE-compatible adapter board in the PC, and connect the drive to the adapter board.

3.3.2.140-Pin PATA Bus Connector

Most motherboards have a built-in 40-pin PATA bus connector that is compatible with the 40-pin PATA interface of the Quickview 300 80/ 100/120/160/200/250/300GB PATA hard disk drives. If the motherboard has an PATA connector, simply connect a 80-pin conductor ribbon cable between the drive and the motherboard.

You should also refer to the motherboard instruction manual to ensure signal compatibility.

3.3.2.2Adapter Board

If your PC motherboard does not contain a built-in 40-pin PATA bus interface connector, you must install an PATA bus adapter board and connecting cable to allow the drive to interface with the motherboard.

Please carefully read the instruction manual that comes with your adapter board, as well as Chapter 5 of this manual to ensure signal compatibility between the adapter board and the drive. Also, make sure that the adapter board jumper settings are appropriate.

3.4COMBINATION CONNECTOR (J1)

J1 is a three-in-one combination connector. The drive’s DC power can be applied to section A. The PATA bus interface (40-pin) uses section C. The connector is mounted on the back edge of the printed-circuit board (PCB), as shown in Figure 3-5.
