Step 3: Jumper settings
The jumper settings are found on the hard drive next to the interface connector, as shown below.
Jumper settings are physical settings that must be changed for different uses of a hard drive. If your
drive will be used as a single drive or as a boot drive, no changes are required. The drive is shipped with
jumpers set for Master.
Master
This setting should be used if you are removing your current drive from the system and replacing it with
the Deskstar drive. Place a jumper on pins A-B and G-H to make this drive the Master.
Slave
Use this setting if you want to retain your old drive as the boot drive and have the new drive available for
program and data storage. Place a jumper on pins A-B and C-D to make this drive the Slave.
Cable Select
This setting should be used if your system requires special “cable select” cables. Place a jumper on pins
A-B and E-F for Cable Select.
Slave Present
This setting should be used if your BIOS setup does not detect the slave drive. Place a jumper on pins
E-F and G-H.
