 Systems Using Cable Select
 --------------------------
 Most systems do not use this feature. Unless you are sure that the
 system that the Maxtor hard drive is being installed in uses Cables
 Select, do not set up the drive with this feature enabled.

 Maxtor hard drives support Cable Select - which allows the system
 to identify Devuce 0 and Device 1 drives on the interface cable. If
 your system manufacturer for specific procedures for installing hard
 drives.

 On Maxtor CrystalMax hard drives, the Cable Select is enabled by
 installing a jumper on J48. When J48 is installed, remove the jumper
 from J50.


 System Hangs During Boot
 ------------------------
 If the system hangs after installing the Maxtor hard drive, either
 before or after setting the system BIOS, the system may have a BIOS
 with a cylinder limitation. This may occur for hard drives with
 capacities larger than 2.1GB. If this happens, do the following:

 1. Turn the system OFF.

 2. Install the cylinder reduction jumper (J42) on the drive using the
    spare jumper across pins J48 and J48; or, if the drive is
    installed as a Slave, store the spare jumper across J42 and J44.

 3. If the BIOS was set to AUTO DETECT, boot the system with the MAX
    BLAST installation software diskette to complete the hard drive
    installation. If other BIOS setting were used, access the BIOS
    SETUP program and set the BIOS parameters to a User Definable Type
    with 4,092 cylinders, 16 heads and 63 sectors per track for the
    Maxtor hard drive. Then boot the system with the MAXBLAST
    installation software diskette to complete the hard drive
    installation.

    NOTE
    When jumper J42 is installed, the Maxtor hard drive must be
    prepared using the MAXBLAST installation software.


 Special NOTE for Windows NT 4.0 Users
 -------------------------------------
 If the cylinder reduction jumper is installed, WIN NT 4.0 WILL NOT
 work with MAXBLAST Installation Software (ver. 9.00M or newer) and
 the  drive capacity will be limited to 2.1GB. If the  cylinder
 reduction jumper is not installed, WIN NT 4.0 WILL work with
 MAXBLAST.

 Important: Pre-installation Notes
 ---------------------------------
 Thank you for choosing a precision Maxtor hard drive. Please read
 these instructions before installing the drive. If you do not
 understand the installation steps, have a qualified computer
 technician do the installation.


 Pre-formatted Drive with Pre-loaded Software
 --------------------------------------------
 This Maxtor hard drive has been low-level formatted at the factory.
 DO NOT use a low-level formatting program on this drive.

 Your Maxtor hard drive contains either a factory-configured
 partition with a directory titled "MAX" or a floppy diskette
 labeled MaxBlast. Both versions contain installation software
 and a Readme file containing installation tips and answers to
 frequently asked questions. To download the installation
 software from the drive, use a blank diskette 1.2 MB.


 System BIOS Notice
 ------------------
 Certain system BIOS's do not support hard drives with more than 4095
 cylinders (2.048 gigabytes). To get the full capacity of your Maxtor
 drive, you will need to follow the suggested installation
 instructions.


 Hard Drive Handling Precautions
 -------------------------------
 Please take a moment to observe the following handling cautions:
 During handling, NEVER drop, jar, or bump a drive. Handle the
 drive by its sides and avoid touching the printed circuit board
 assembly (PCBA).

 - Hard drives are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
   Use proper ESD practices by grounding yourself and the computer
   system the hard drive will be installed in.

 - Allow the hard drive to reach room temperature BEFORE installing it
   in your computer system.

 - NEVER switch DC power onto the drive by plugging an electrically
   live DC source cable into the drive's connector. NEVER connect a
   live bus connector to the hard drive's IDE interface connector.


 Hard Drive Installation
 -----------------------
 Maxtor recommends that all data on existing hard drives be properly
 backed-up prior to installing your new Maxtor hard drive.

 - Set jumper J50 on the Maxtor hard drive for Master/Slave
   configuration.

 Newer systems and interface cards may have the capability to support
 4 IDE devices (2 devices per port). Each port must have a Master
 (primary) device attached before a Slave (secondary) device can
 be attached.

 - Mount the Maxtor hard drive into a drive bay and secure it in
   accordance with the system manufacturers' specifications.

 - Attach a 40-pin IDE interface connector to J1. The striped edge
   of this cable indicates pin 1 and must be oriented towards pin 1
   at the drive connector and at the host connector.

 - Attach a DC power connector to J2.

 - Power up the computer and set the system BIOS/CMOS to Type 9.

 NOTE: Refer to your system's user guide for help on enabling and
 programming system BIOS CMOS.

 Type 9 should equal 900 cylinders 15 heads and 17 sectors per track
 (SPT). If BIOS Type 9 does not match these parameters, select a
 user-definable drive type and program the BIOS with 900 cylinders,
 15 heads and 17 SPT. If the BIOS does not have a user-definable
 drive type, choose a drive type with 15 heads and 17 SPT. This
 will allow the system to see the hard drive.

 Important Note for Installing Drives Larger Than 2.1GB
 If your system locks up before you can access the system BIOS/CMOS,
 the system may have a BIOS with a 4095 cylinder limitation. Please
 perform the following steps:

 1. Turn off the system.

 2. Install jumper J42 on the drive using the spare jumper supplied.

 3. Restart the system and set the system BIOS/CMOS to Type 9.

 - Boot your system to the A:> drive using a DOS system diskette.

 - Change to the DOS drive prompt for the Maxtor drive (i.e., C:, D:)

 - Insert a blank DOS formatted diskette into the A:> diskette drive.

 - At the Maxtor drive prompt, type [MAX] and press the [Enter] key.

 When the transfer is completed, you will have a working copy of
 MaxBlast software.

 NOTE: If you have trouble downloading MaxBlast, you can get a copy
 of the software from one of Maxtor's on-line services.

 Formatting the Maxtor Hard Drive n Boot your system to the A:> drive
 using a DOS system diskette.

 - Insert the MaxBlast diskette into the appropriate diskette drive.

 - Change to that floppy disk drives' DOS prompt.

 NOTE: Please review the Readme file before you partition and format
 your Maxtor hard drive. View this file by typing "Readme" and press
 the [Enter] key. After reviewing the Readme file, continue the
 installation.

 - At the DOS prompt type [DM] and press [Enter]. The Maxtor logo will
   appear while the software is loading - then two information screens
   will be displayed. Press the [Enter] key at each screen to
   continue. The MaxBlast main menu screen will then appear.

 NOTE: During the installation, MaxBlast software may indicate that a
 previous partition has been discovered. This is the Maxtor
 factory-installed partition that can now be erased.

 MaxBlast is a menu-driven application that requires user
 confirmation before going to each next step in the installation
 process. Read the information displayed on each screen carefully and
 select the appropriate response to allow the partitioning and
 formatting of the Maxtor hard drive. On-line MaxBlast help is always
 available by pressing [F1].

 When the partitioning and formatting operation is done, MaxBlast
 will display a message informing you that the process is complete.
 If your Maxtor hard drive is a bootable Master (primary) drive, one
 of the following situations will occur when rebooting your system:

 - A message "Starting Ontrack ..." will appear with a blue Maxtor
   banner. The system will pause and give instructions for installing
   an operating system.
 or
 - No message will appear and the system will boot directly to the
   hard drive. If this happens, install your operating system
   according to the manufacturers' instructions.

 If your Maxtor hard drive is not a bootable Master (primary) drive:
 - DOS and Windows 95 users: reboot the system and the drive is ready
   for use.
 or
 - OS/2 and Windows NT users: refer to MaxBlast's on-line help
   utility for completing the installation.
