Important Notice for Drives Larger than 137 GB

Some systems do not properly support the full capacity of an internal drive

larger than 137 GB. To ensure proper installation, read “Using a Drive

Larger than 137 GB” on page 22 before setting up the drive.

Installing the Drive with an Ultra ATA PCI Card

If you are installing this hard drive with an Ultra ATA-compatible PCI

adapter card (such as the Maxtor Ultra ATA/133 PCI Card or Maxtor

SATA/150 PCI Card), use the ATA card documentation to install the

card before installing the hard drive. Some older systems require the

use of an ATA card to fully recognize higher capacity hard drives.

Back Up Your Data

Protect your data by backing up existing hard drives before installing

your new Maxtor hard drive.
