During the AT system CMOS setup, you must enter the drive type for the Maxtor D540X-4K hard disk drives. The drive supports the translation of its physical drive geometry parameters such as cylinders, heads, and sectors per track to a logical addressing mode. The drive can work with different BIOS drive-type tables of the various host systems.
PLATTER – An disk made of metal (or G-6 Maxtor D540X-4K 20.0/40.0/60.0/80.0 GB AT... Page 91 The resulting surface is hard, smooth, and capable of storing data at high density. SCSI – Acronym for Small Computer System Maxtor disk drives use sputtered thin film Interface, an American National Standards disks.
When a Maxtor D540X-4K 20.4/40.0/60.0/80.0 GB AT hard disk drive and another ATA hard disk drive are daisy-chained together, they can be configured as Master or Slave either by the CS or DS jumpers. To configure the drive as a Master or Slave with the CS feature, the CS jumper is installed (1).
A! The Maxtor D540X-4K 20.4/40.0/60.0/80.0 GB AT hard disk drives can withstand levels of shock and vibration applied to any of its three mutually perpendicular axes, or principal base axis, as specified in Table 4-8. A functioning drive can be subjected to specified operating levels of shock and vibration.
