Getting Started

Thank you for selecting a Maxtor hard drive storage product. This

installation guide will lead you through the installation of your hard drive.

The Maxtor Hard Drive Kit includes the components shown in Figure 1.

Your computer may need some or all of these parts to complete the

installation. You will also need the tools shown in Figure 2 on page 2

including a full version of your operating system to install the hard drive

in your computer.

Handling the Hard Drive

Your hard drive should be handled with care during unpacking and

installation. Damage to hard drives is typically caused by rough

handling, shock, vibration, or electrostatic discharge (ESD). Be aware of

the following precautions when unpacking and handling your hard drive:

• Save the packing materials in case you need to return your hard drive.

• Allow the hard drive to reach room temperature before opening

the anti-static bag.

• Handle the hard drive by its sides. Do not touch the circuit board

electronics on the bottom of the hard drive.

• Do not connect or disconnect any hard drive cables when the

system is powered on.

• Do not drop, jar, or bump the hard drive.
