Thank you for your interest in Maxtor hard disk drives. This manual provides technical information for

OEM engineers and systems integrators regarding the installation and use of Maxtor hard drives. Drive

repair should be performed only at an authorized repair center. For repair information, contact the Maxtor

Customer Service Center at 800-2MAXTOR or 1-303-678-2015.

CAUTION: Maxtor hard drives are precision products. Failure to follow these precautions and guidelines

outlined here may lead to product failure, damage and invalidation of all warranties.

1BEFORE unpacking or handling a drive, take all proper electro-static discharge (ESD) precau-

tions, including personnel and equipment grounding. Stand-alone drives are sensitive to ESD

damage.

2BEFORE removing drives from their packing material, allow them to reach room temperature.

3 During handling, NEVER drop, jar, or bump a drive.

4 Once a drive is removed from the Maxtor shipping container, IMMEDIATELY secure the drive

through its mounting holes within a chassis. Otherwise, store the drive on a padded, grounded,

antistatic surface.

5NEVER switch DC power onto the drive by plugging an electrically live DC source cable into

the drive's connector. NEVER connect a live bus to the drive's interface connector.

6ELECTRICAL GROUNDING - For proper operation, the drive must be securely fastened to

a device bay that provides a suitable electrical ground to the drive baseplate.

Please do not remove or cover up Maxtor factory-installed drive labels. They contain information required

should the drive ever need repair.

Thank you for your interest in Maxtor hard disk drives. This manual provides technical information for

OEM engineers and systems integrators regarding the installation and use of Maxtor hard drives. Drive

repair should be performed only at an authorized repair center. For repair information, contact the Maxtor

Customer Service Center at 800-2MAXTOR or 1-303-678-2015.

MaxtorCorporationhasbeenprovidinghigh-qualitycomputerstorageproductssince

1982. Along the way, we’ve seen many changes in data storage needs. Not long ago,

only a handful of specific users needed more than a couple hundred megabytes of

storage. Today, downloading from the Internet and CD-ROMs, multimedia,

networking and advanced office applications are driving storage needs even higher.

Even home PC applications need capacities measured in gigabytes, not megabytes.



Maxtor’s products meet the demanding data storage capacity requirements of today

and tomorrow. They are available in 5400- and 7200- RPM configurations with

capacity offerings from 10 to 80 GB and beyond.

The D540X-4G drive family is a 5400 RPM hard drive with capacities from 120 GB

to 160 GB.



No matter which capacity, all Maxtor hard drives are supported by our commitment

to total customer satisfaction and our No Quibble Service®guarantee. One call –or a

visit to our home page on the Internet (www.maxtor.com) –puts you in touch with

either technical support or customer service. We’ll provide you the information you

need quickly, accurately and in the form you prefer –a fax, a downloaded file

or a conversation with a representative.

The names of abbreviations, commands, fields and acronyms used as signal names are

in all uppercase type (e.g., IDENTIFY DRIVE). Fields containing only one bit are

usually referred to as the “name”bit instead of the “name”field.

Names of drive registers begin with a capital letter (e.g., Cylinder High register).

Numbers that are not followed by a lowercase “b”or “h”are decimal values.

Numbers that are followed by a lowercase “b”(e.g., 01b) are binary values. Numbers

that are followed by a lowercase “h”(e.g., 3Ah) are hexadecimal values.
