2.8  HDD Compatibility

ARS-2017E is particularly designed for DMA hard drives. It fully supports the following

brands of DMA 133/100/66 hard drives. It is recommended to set the jumper as

“Master/Single” or “Cable Select” in order to quicken the start of a hard drive. ARS-

2017E is also compatible with various kinds of SCSI cards, and can operate well in

Mac OS and Linux.

Step 9

 Smart. Before using, partition and format if it is new.
