Before You Begin

Thank you for your interest in Maxtor hard disk drives. This manual provides technical information for

OEM engineers and systems integrators regarding the installation and use of Maxtor hard drives. Drive

repair should be performed only at an authorized repair center. For repair information, contact the Maxtor

Product Support Center at 1-800-2MAXTOR.

CAUTION: Maxtor hard drives are precision products. Failure to follow these precautions and guidelines

outlined here may lead to product failure, damage and invalidation of all warranties.

1BEFORE unpacking or handling a drive, take all proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precau-

tions, including personnel and equipment grounding. Stand-alone drives are sensitive to Elec-

trostatic discharge (ESD) damage.

2BEFORE removing drives from their packing material, allow them to reach room temperature.

3 During handling, NEVER drop, jar, or bump a drive.

4 Once a drive is removed from the Maxtor shipping container, IMMEDIATELY secure the

drive through its mounting holes within a chassis. Otherwise, store the drive on a padded,

grounded, antistatic surface.

5NEVER switch DC power onto the drive by plugging an electrically live DC source cable into

the drive's connector. NEVER connect a live bus to the drive's interface connector.

6ELECTRICAL GROUNDING - For proper operation, the drive must be securely fastened to

a device bay that provides a suitable electrical ground to the drive baseplate.

Please do not remove or cover up Maxtor factory-installed drive labels. They contain information required

should the drive ever need repair.

Thank you for your interest in Maxtor hard disk drives. This manual provides technical information for

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Maxtor Corporation

Maxtor Corporation has been providing high-quality computer storage products since

1982. Along the way, we’ve seen many changes in data storage needs. Not long ago,

only a handful of specific users needed more than a couple hundred megabytes of

storage. Today, downloading from the Internet and CD-ROMs, multimedia,

networking and advanced office applications are driving storage needs even higher.

Even home PC applications need capacities measured in gigabytes, not megabytes.

Support

Maxtor provides a variety of customer support options, all designed to make sure the

user gets fast, helpful, accurate information to help resolve any difficulties. These

options include a broad searchable knowledge base of FAQ’s, product manuals,

installation guides, information on previously resolved problems, software downloads,

and contact by phone or E-mail with a support person. For more information, visit

1.4 Conventions

If there is a conflict between text and tables, the table shall be accepted as being

correct.

Key Words

The names of abbreviations, commands, fields and acronyms used as signal names are

in all uppercase type (e.g., IDENTIFY DRIVE). Fields containing only one bit are

usually referred to as the “name” bit instead of the “name” field.

Names of drive registers begin with a capital letter (e.g., Cylinder High register).

Numbering

Numbers that are not followed by a lowercase “b” or “h” are decimal values.

Numbers that are followed by a lowercase “b” (e.g., 01b) are binary values. Numbers

that are followed by a lowercase “h” (e.g., 3Ah) are hexadecimal values.

Introduction

Maxtor Fireball3 1-3

Signal Conventions

Signal names are shown in all uppercase type.

All signals are either high active or low active signals. A dash character (-) at the end

of a signal name indicates that the signal is low active. A low active signal is true when

it is below ViL and is false when it is above ViH. A signal without a dash at the end

indicates that the signal is high active. A high active signal is true when it is above ViH

and is false when it is below ViL.

When a signal is asserted, it means the signal is driven by an active circuit to its true

state.

When a signal is negated, it means the signal is driven by an active circuit to its false

state.

When a signal is released, it means the signal is not actively driven to any state. Some

signals have bias circuitry that pull the signal to either a true or false state when no

signal driver is actively asserting or negating the signal. These instances are noted

under the description of the signal.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

2.1 Product Description

The Fireball 3 is the industries first 40Gb single-head/single platter hard drive with

an Ultra ATA/133 interface. Combining value and performance, this is an excellent

choice for entry-level desktop systems and consumer electronic applications.

The Maxtor Fireball 3 drive is the latest in the family of Maxtor single platter

5400RPM drives designed for higher reliability. The drive’s inner diameter load/

unload ramp locks the recording head into a protective carrier to cradle the head

during shipment and any other time the drive is not in operation.

The Fireball 3 take reliability and data integrity to a new level with Maxtor Shock

Protection System (SPS) and Data Protection System (DPS). SPS and DPS give the

user enhanced protection against both operation and non-operating shock and

verify essential functions in seconds to minimize costly drive returns.

Industry leading design, optimized to meet the needs of the entry level and value

applications:

• Supports popular entry level and value capacity - 40GB

• ATA/133 the fastest and latest IDE interface

• FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearing) motor for quiet operation

• Low height to improve airflow and cooling

• Low weight to reduce shipping costs

• Improved reliability with:

~ Shock Protection System

~ Data Protection System

2.2 Key Features

• ANSI ATA-5/6 compliant PIO Mode 4 interface (Enhanced IDE)

• Supports ATA-6 UltraDMA Mode 5 (100 MBytes/sec) and Maxtor

Ultra ATA/133 MBytes/second data transfer rates
