531DX Ultra DMA 100 5400 RPM:

The Maxtor 531DX is the first in a new family of Maxtor 5400 RPM hard drives designed for higher reliability. It incorporates the world’s first inner diameter load/unload ramp that 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 Maxtor 531DX is the industry’s first true single head/single platter hard drive with an Ultra ATA/100 interface. These drives offer up to 15GB of storage and data transfer speeds up to 100 megabytes per second and utilize Maxtor Silent Storeä technology for whisper-quiet acoustic performance and Maxtor Adaptive ATA Controlä for unsurpassed data integrity. The 531DX drives are an excellent choice for entry-level systems and consumer electronics applications, with their combined value and performance. When your application calls for a cost-effective, high-performance storage solution, select the 531DX series of hard drive by Maxtor.

	Manually enter the Maximum Cylinder value for the hard drive if greater than 8.4 GB.

Cable Requirements:
An 80-Wire UDMA Interface Cable is REQUIRED for all UDMA/66/100 hard drives. It is recommended for all UDMA/33 hard drives.

Additional Jumper Configuration Notice:

Maxtor ships two styles of connectors on our hard drives. The jumper illustration on your hard drive label and in the installation guide may appear different than the actual connector on the drive.

This addendum illustrates both connector styles and the correct jumper settings.

If you have an older system BIOS that does not address capacities over 2.1GB (BIOS dated pre 1995, or if you are experiencing system hang conditions) you will need to close the 4092 cylinder limit jumper in conjunction with your drive selection of Master, Slave or Cable Select.
