The IDE configuration block pin assignments are:
7 and 8: Reserved
5 and 6: MS
3 and 4: SL
1 and 2: CS
5. Set the IDE jumper ON for the setting that applies to your IDE
configuration. The tape drive is preset at the factory to slave
(SL).
If your computer has one hard disk drive and one IDE controller,
configure the tape drive as a slave (SL) by placing a jumper over
vertical pins 3 and 4 (ON). Some hard disk drives might require
you to change its jumper setting (master to master with a slave
attached) if you attach a second device to the IDE controller.
If your computer has two IDE controllers:
Place the hard disk drives on the primary IDE controller and
place the other storage devices (tape drive or CD-ROM
drive) on the secondary IDE controller.
If the tape drive is the only device on the secondary IDE
controller, configure it as a master (MS) by placing a jumper
over vertical pins 5 and 6.
If the tape drive is sharing the IDE controller with another
device, configure it as slave (SL) by placing a jumper over
vertical pins 3 and 4.
Refer to your computer documentation to see if your computer
supports the cable select (CS) setting. Most computers do not
use this feature.
6. Locate an available bay or space in your computer to mount the
tape drive. The drive can be mounted in either a horizontal or
vertical position. The drive fits in a 3.5-inch (1-inch high)
standard bay. You can also mount the drive in a 5.25-inch
(1.6-inch high) bay using the 5.25-inch mounting kit provided.
The installation instructions are located on the mounting kit
packaging.
The following table lists the available bays for IBM PC
IntelliStation professional workstation and desktop PC models.
Some of these computer systems require an additional cosmetic
bezel (included) when installing a removable media device such
as a tape drive. Some workstations also might have a lockable
door covering the drive bays. If you are installing the tape
drive into any server with a lockable door, you might not be
able to close this door whenever the data cartridge is inserted.
