The first time MaxBlast installation software is run, it will display information in a format similar to the System

optionally display this information.
The information in the System Configuration table must be completed for your records. This information
will be requested by the Maxtor Technical Assistance representative in the event that you call for assistance.
The Maxtor hard drive model number and serial number are also located on the top cover label of the hard
drive. System information should be available in the computer users’s manual or in the documentation for the
different devices attached to the system.
Once the information in this table is copied from the screen, continue with the installation or exit the
MaxBlast installation software as shown on the screen. EZMAX is a menu-driven program with on-line help
to guide you through the installation process.
