Setting the Jumper
Most Maxtor hard drives come preconfigured with a jumper (Figure 4) in the cable select or master position. Maxtor recommends using the cable select jumper position in most situations for ease of configuration.
1.After removing the drive from its
2.Configure the drive as cable select (CS) by using pliers to move the jumper into the appropriate position on the jumper block.
To properly configure cable select, all devices on the same ATA cable must use the cable select jumper setting and be connected with a 40- pin Ultra ATA cable like the one included. Before installing a new hard drive on an ATA cable with an existing device, confirm that the existing device is configured as cable select. Jumper settings may be printed on the device; however, you may need to consult the device documentation or contact the manufacturer.
Older systems that do not support Ultra ATA/66 or are dated prior to November 1998 may not be able to use the cable select jumper option. If you are uncertain whether your system can use the cable select option, consult your system manual, contact the system manufacturer, or use the master/slave jumper settings instead.
