         GENERIC INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR A SCSI DRIVE


1. Install a 50 pin ribbon connector making sure pin 1, which 
   can be identified by the striped edge of the cable, is closest 
   to the power connector on the drive.

2. Install a DC power cable to the back of the drive.

3. Verify the SCSI ID selection.
   Note: SCSI ID usually needs to be set to 0 to be the boot 
   drive. The last physical device on the SCSI bus must be 
   terminated. Any other drive or SCSI device connected between the 
   host and the device at the end of the bus must not be terminated.

4. Apply power to the computer.

 4a. When memory test is complete go into your system's Standard 
     C-MOS set-up.
     (Note:  There are various ways to get into C-MOS set-up, 
     please refer to system's manual for instuctions.)

 4b. Set the drive type to "Not Installed". This intelligent drive 
     will identify itself to the SCSI host adapter. 
 
5. Boot from a DOS diskette that has FDISK.EXE and FORMAT.COM on 
   it. At the A> prompt type in FDISK. At the menu options select 
   option 1 to create a DOS partition. Another menu will appear and 
   from those options choose 1 to create a Primary DOS partition.  
   Select yes to make 1 large partition and it will automatically 
   become active. Then escape from FDISK.

6. At the A> prompt type in FORMAT C:/S   This does a high-level 
   format on the drive and transfers the system files in order for 
   the drive to be bootable.
   (Note: Maxtor SCSI drives are low-level formatted at the factory)

7. The drive is now bootable. As a test remove the DOS diskette 
   from A and press reset to re-boot the computer, a C> should be 
   displayed, the drive is now ready for operation.
