INSTALLATION
4 – 29
c) If the system has an older BIOS which does not provide a UDT, set the BIOS for the Maxtor hard
drive to Type 9. If this BIOS setting is used or the BIOS does not support LBA, the drive must be
prepared using Max•Blast software.
3. After the drive parameters are entered, follow the SETUP program procedures to save the settings and exit
the SETUP program. After changing BIOS settings, saving the values and exiting, the SETUP program should
force the system to re-boot.
Boot the system to the bootable Max•Blast installation software diskette received with the hard drive or with a
DOS 5.0 (or higher) or Windows 95 system diskette. If the system boots normally, proceed to the “Hard Drive
Preparation” section.
System Hangs During Boot
If after installing the Maxtor hard drive in the system or after setting the system BIOS the system hangs during the
boot process, the system may have a BIOS limitation. This may occur for drives with capacities larger than 2.1 GB.
If the system locks up before accessing the BIOS SETUP program or if it locks up during the boot process after
setting the system BIOS, the system may have a BIOS with a cylinder limitation. If this happens, perform the
following:
1 Turn the system OFF.
2 Install jumper J46 on the drive using the spare jumper shipped across pins J46 and J48 or if the drive is installed as
a Slave, store the spare jumper across J42 and J44.
3 If the BIOS was set to AUTO DETECT, re-boot the system and use Max•Blast installation software to
complete the hard drive installation. If other BIOS settings were used, access the system BIOS SETUP program
and set the BIOS parameters to Type 9 for the Maxtor hard drive then re-boot the system and use Max•Blast
installation software to complete the hard drive installation. NOTE: When this jumper is installed, the Maxtor
hard drive must be prepared using Max•Blast.
