Setting the Hard Disk Drive Jumpers

Before you install any IDE hard disk drives, you need to check
or change the settings of the drive’s jumpers to be sure they are
set correctly for your drive configuration.

The table below lists the jumper settings for high-capacity,
optional EPSON hard disk drives. If your drive is not listed,
check the documentation that came with it or call the
manufacturer for the jumper settings.

*

CS (cable selection) can be jumpered for any configuration. When CS is
used, the drive is a master if pin 28 is grounded and a slave if pin 28 is not
grounded.
