MAXTOR SATA/300 PCI CARD INSTALLATION GUIDE

Connecting an Ultra ATA Hard Drive The SATA/300 PCI Card has one Ultra ATA/133 port that supports up to two Ultra ATA/IDE hard drives on a single 80-conductor, 40-pin Ultra ATA cable (sold separately). The card does not support ATAPI devices such as Zip drives or CD/DVD drives. For maximum compatibility and data integrity, Maxtor strongly recommends that you do not use older 40-conductor ATA/IDE cables with this card.

Configure the jumpers of the Ultra ATA hard drive to the cable select setting. If you are connecting two Ultra ATA drives, they should both be configured to the cable select (CS) setting. Consult the drive label, documentation, or manufacturer for jumper configuration information. Jumper settings for popular Maxtor models are shown below in Figure 7. Style A1 Style A2 Style B Style C (Includes DiamondMax 16) (Includes DiamondMax Plus 9, 10 or 11) (Includes DiamondMax Plus 8 and Fireball 3) (Models D740X-6L and D540X-4K) Master Slave Master Cylinder Limitation Jumper (CLJ) (not for use with this card) Cable Select Slave Cable Select FIGURE 7

Plug the blue connector on the Ultra ATA cable straight into the Ultra ATA connector on the card. The correct orientation of the cable connector can be found by matching the key notch on one side of the cable connector with the corresponding groove in the ATA connector.

Plug the black cable connector into the ATA connector on the rear of the hard drive. If you are connecting two Ultra ATA drives and wish to use one as a boot drive, plug the black cable connector into the boot drive and the gray connector into the other drive. If neither drive will be used as a boot drive, either the gray or black connector can be used. See Figure 8 below.

Check BIOS Message Power on your system and look for an on-screen BIOS message (see Figure 9) that refers to the Maxtor SATA/300 PCI Card. This message indicates that the card has been properly detected by your motherboard. If you do not see this message, turn off your system and make sure that the card is seated properly in the PCI slot. The SATA/300 PCI Card is a PCI Plug-n-Play (PnP) device that automatically detects attached hard drives. In most cases, you will not need to make changes in the motherboard BIOS Setup utility; however, on some newer systems, you may be able to set the boot order of SATA devices in the motherboard’s BIOS Setup. For more information on BIOS Setup, consult your system manual or the system manufacturer. Maxtor SATA/300 PCI Card BIOS v1.00.22.11 (c) 2005 Manufacturer Name. All rights reserved.

Limited Warranty Statement Warranty Services Maxtor's warranty obligations are limited to the terms set forth below. Please note that Maxtor reserves the right to update from time to time the warranty terms provided for new purchases of Maxtor products, and to establish the effective date of those updated warranty terms. Please refer to www.maxtor.com for the then current form of Limited Warranty Statement for Maxtor brand products. Please note that Maxtor products are distributed outside the United States and Canada through local authorized distributors and resellers (“Resellers”). These Resellers generally offer a consumer warranty, and associated warranty services, to consumer purchasers. Maxtor recommends that consumers in these jurisdictions first contact the Reseller from whom they purchased the Maxtor product for all issues with regard to product defects and the applicable product warranty. Maxtor warrants to the original consumer purchaser (“you”) that new Maxtor disk drive products (“New Products”) will be free from defects in material and workmanship for the Standard Warranty Period for the relevant New Product. The Standard Warranty Period for the various New Products marketed by Maxtor and for the geographies in which they are sold is detailed on www.maxtor.com and, for retail packaged products, is the Standard Warranty Period printed by Maxtor on the outside of the retail box. The warranty period on replacements for New Products is the remainder of the warranty on the original New Product or 90 days from the date of shipment of the replacement product, whichever is longer. In addition to the New Products, Maxtor may from time to time sell refurbished disk drive products which are not new and which have been reconditioned to Maxtor’s standards for refurbished products (“Refurbished Products”). Unless a warranty period (“Refurbished Warranty Period”) is designated by Maxtor for the specific Refurbished Product either on www.maxtor.com or on the product packaging (as applied by Maxtor), Refurbished Products are provided strictly on an “AS IS” basis and Maxtor disclaims any and all warranties or conditions whatsoever for Refurbished Products. To the extent that Maxtor so designates a warranty period for the Refurbished Product, Maxtor warrants to the original consumer purchaser that the Refurbished Product will be free from defects in material and workmanship for the associated Refurbished Warranty Period. New Products and Refurbished Products are together referred to as “Products.” The start of the Standard Warranty Period or Refurbished Warranty Period (together referred to as the “Warranty Period”), as the case may be, is the documented date of your purchase of the Product from Maxtor or Maxtor’s authorized reseller. In the absence of a documented purchase date, the start of the Warranty Period will be deemed the date of original shipment by Maxtor from its point of new or refurbish manufacture, as the case may be, to Maxtor’s customer. The Products are manufactured from parts and components that are new or equivalent to new in accordance with industry standards. If you discover a defect in material or workmanship during the Warranty Period, and Maxtor agrees that the defect exists, Maxtor will, at its option, repair or replace the Product at no charge to you, provided it is returned during the applicable Warranty Period, with transportation charges prepaid, to the facility designated by Maxtor. The Product must be properly packaged in Maxtor or Maxtor-approved packaging, with the Return Material Authorization clearly displayed on the outside of the packaging, to obtain warranty service. Products that fail within the first 30 days after purchase will be replaced with a new Product. Maxtor may require proper proof of purchase documentation prior to issuing the replacement Product. If Maxtor elects to repair a Product, Maxtor owns all parts removed from the repaired Product. Maxtor uses new and reconditioned parts made by various manufacturers in conjunction with warranty repairs and replacement Products. Repair parts or replacement Products may, at Maxtor's option, include an equal or better model or features. Maxtor has no responsibility whatsoever with regard to any content or data on returned Products. To request warranty service and before returning a Product to Maxtor, please contact the Maxtor Service Center. Refer to the Maxtor Installation Guide or www.maxtor.com for your online guide to find the appropriate telephone number for obtaining customer assistance within your jurisdiction and the proper address for shipping authorized returns. Once the Maxtor Service Center determines that a repair is required, Maxtor will issue an RMA number. A copy of your receipt or bill of sale bearing the name and location of Maxtor’s authorized reseller and the Maxtor serial number and model number of the Product in which the defect has been reported may be required as a proof of your purchase for warranty service. Note that, as an alternative, Maxtor offers an on-line warranty return option for certain Products through www.maxtor.com.
