Mounting Brackets
Most drives need to be outfitted with mounting
brackets before being installed into a computer.
Please refer to our computer and/or drive’s user
guides for details.
Jumper Block
Prior to installing a drive, you will need to configure
it as either a primary (master) or secondary (slave)
drive.
Figure 1
lists common jumper settings.
Most drives are factory preset as a master drive. To
change the setting, you will need to reconfigure the
position of the jumpers located in the jumper block.
The jumper block is located at the rear of the drive
(Figure 2)
, or on the drive’s exposed printed circuit
board
(Figure 3)
. The location of the jumper block
and position of jumper pins vary depending on the
manufacturer of the drive. Refer to your drive’s user
guide or the jumper setting information printed on
your drive.
Support Note:
When configuring your
drive’s jumper pins, verify the orientation
of the drive with respect to the illustration. llustra-
tions may vary.
