10 Installing the Hard Drive

Attaching the Cables

An Ultra ATA cable no longer than 18 inches is recommended for all

UDMA-capable hard drives and is required for hard drives configured

as cable select.

Maxtor strongly recommends using the Ultra ATA

cable included in this package for maximum compatibility.

Locate an available ATA connector on the motherboard or an

installed ATA PCI adapter card.

If you are unable to locate this con-

nector, consult the user manual for your system or ATA adapter card.

Plug the blue connector on the provided Ultra ATA cable straight

into the ATA connector on your motherboard or ATA adapter card.

ATA connectors are keyed to

prevent improper insertion.

Do not rock or force ATA

connectors into place.
