PlexWriter 48/24/48A Installation and Users Manual
Note that if any device is jumpered as Cable Select, then both devices connected to
that cable must be jumpered as Cable Select. In addition, the cable you use must be a
special Cable Select cable.
Changing Jumper Settings
•
To remove a jumper, pull it off with your fingers or a pair of needle-nose pliers.
•
To install a jumper, push it onto the jumper pins.
CAUTION: Ensure power to the drive is OFF before installing or removing a jumper.
Figure 5: Install the Mode Jumper Across Vertical Pairs of Pins
CAUTION: Install the mode jumper across the pins as shown (vertically). Do not
connect one pin switch to another by installing the jumper lengthwise (horizontally).
Doing so could result in damage to the drive.
Select an IDE Configuration
Set the jumper according to the desired configuration, as shown in the tables and
illustrations on the next few pages.
NOTE: For best CD-RW performance, try to connect the PlexWriter to the IDE port
that is not connected to the hard disk drive or to a CD-ROM drive. In most cases, this
will be the secondary IDE port.
NOTE: For best results, set the PlexWriter to be the Master, if possible.
