3.2.3 CABLE SELECT 

Jumper CS can be used to let the IDE Cable Select signal select the drive 
configuration as either the master or slave device.  Shorting the CS pin to the MS 
pin enables the Cable Select feature.  Leaving the pins unconnected disables the 
Cable Select feature.  The drive is factory shipped with these pins open.
