Drive Paramters
(*) The fields LZone (Landing Zone) and WPcom (Write Pre-comp) are not used by the Maxtor hard drive
and the values may be either 0 or the values set by the BIOS. All capacities listed in the parameters table are
based on 10
9
or one million bytes.
Only the values for cylinders, heads and sectors listed in the table must be entered. All other values may be
zero (0). Set the LBA mode to enabled for this drive. If the SETUP program does not provide the UDT, set
the BIOS to the drive type with the largest capacity of those listed in the BIOS.
C 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.
Note: Each BIOS manufacturer uses different methods of identifying the UDT. Newer BIOS’ from all
manufacturers will usually include an entry called “User” or “User 1.” Older BIOS’ vary in the
method used to identify the UDT: AMI = Type 47, Award = Type 47 and Phoenix = Type 48.
System Hangs During Boot
If the system hangs after installing the Maxtor hard drive, either before or after setting the system BIOS, the
system many have a BIOS with a cylinder limitation. This may occur for hard drives with capacities larger than
2.1 GB. If this happens, do the following:
1 Turn the system OFF.
