Installation

3.5.2Clearance

Clearance from the drive to any other surface (except mounting surfaces) must be a minimum of 1.25 mm (0.05 inches).

3.5.3Ventilation

The Maxtor Quickview 300 80/100/120/160/200/250/300GB PATA hard disk drives operate without a cooling fan, provided the base casting temperature as measured where the motor is attached to the base casting does not exceed 158° F (70° C).

3.5.4For Systems With A Motherboard PATA Adapter

You can install the Maxtor Quickview 300 80/100/120/160/200/250/ 300GB PATA hard disk drives in an AT-compatible system that contains a 40-pin PATA bus connector on the motherboard.

To connect the drive to the motherboard, use a 80 conductor ribbon cable 18 inches in length or shorter. Ensure that pin 1 of the drive is connected to pin 1 of the motherboard connector.

3.6For Systems With An PATA Adapter Board

To install the 80/100/120/160/200/250/300GB PATA hard disk drive in an AT-compatible system without a 40-pin PATA bus connector on its motherboard, you need a third-party IDE-compatible adapter board.

3.6.1Adapter 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 3.5.4 thru 3.6, power should be turned off on the host system before installing the drive.
