Before You Begin
Thank you for your interest in Maxtor hard disk drives. This manual provides technical infor-
mation 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 Product Support Center at 1-800-2MAXTOR.
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) precautions, 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 inter-
face connector.
6ELECTRICAL GROUNDING - For proper operation, the drive must be securely fas-
tened to a device bay that provides a suitable electrical ground to the drive base-
plate.
Please do not remove or cover up Maxtor factory-installed drive labels. They contain infor-
mation 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 inte-
grators regarding the installation and use of Maxtor hard drives. Drive repair should be per-
formed only at an authorized repair center. For repair information, contact the Maxtor

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Maxtor Corporation
Maxtor Corporation has been providing high-quality computer storage
products since 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.
Support
Maxtor provides a variety of customer support options, all designed to
make sure the user gets fast, helpful, accurate information to help resolve
any difficulties. These options include a broad, searchable knowledge
base of FAQ’s, product manuals, installation guides, information on
previously resolved problems, software downloads, and contact by
phone or E-mail with a support person. For more information, visit

1.4 Conventions
If there is a conflict between text and tables, the table shall be accepted
as being correct.
Key Words
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).

Introduction
Maxtor MaXLine II 250/300GB 1-3
Numbering
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.
Signal Conventions
Signal names are shown in all uppercase type.
All signals are either high active or low active signals. A dash character
(-) at the end of a signal name indicates that the signal is low active. A
low active signal is true when it is below ViL and is false when it is
above ViH. A signal without a dash at the end indicates that the signal is
high active. A high active signal is true when it is above ViH and is false
when it is below ViL.
When a signal is asserted, it means the signal is driven by an active cir-
cuit to its true state.
When a signal is negated, it means the signal is driven by an active cir-
cuit to its false state.
When a signal is released, it means the signal is not actively driven to any
state. Some signals have bias circuitry that pull the signal to either a true
or false state when no signal driver is actively asserting or negating.
