FOR SYSTEMS WITH AN ATA ADAPTER BOARD
To install the Maxtor Quickview 40 20/30/40GB AT hard disk drive in
an AT-compatible system without a 40-pin ATA bus connector on its
motherboard, you need a third-party IDE-compatible adapter board.
4.7.1
Adapter Board Installation
Carefully read the manual that accompanies your adapter board before
installing it. Make sure that all the jumpers are set properly and that
there are no address or signal conflicts. You must also investigate to see
if your AT-compatible system contains a combination floppy and hard
disk controller board. If it does, you must disable the hard disk drive
controller functions on that controller board before proceeding.
Once you have disabled the hard disk drive controller functions on the
floppy/hard drive controller, install the adapter board. Again, make sure
that you have set all jumper straps on the adapter board to avoid
addressing and signal conflicts.
Note: For Sections 4.7 and 4.8, power should be turned off
on the computer before installing the drive.
