Please review these jumper settings before installing your new hard drive into your computer. You may need more detailed information about the installation process, or the location and configuration of your existing internal ATA drive. Your manual that came with your computer can be of assistance in both of these determinations.A single hard drive is normally configured one of two ways
- Master (single drive), or
- Cable Select.
Most hard drives have a schematic diagram either printed onto the case of the drive, or on a label near the jumper pins on hard drive. If you have difficulty locating this information, visit the hard drive manufacturer’s website. If the present hard drive is configured as “Master”, then set your new hard drive to “Slave”. If the existing drive is set for “Cable Select”, then set your new drive to “Cable Select” also. You can change the existing jumper settings on the original drive to suit your needs, but we recommend following these instructions first to verify proper operation of the new hard drive. Installing jumpers on the new drive is a simple process, follow the schematic to configure your drive.
