2.4 Set Up Hard Disk
A Hard disk is the place where most of the data is stored. Therefore, it is one of the most
important components in a personal computer. This section will introduce you the knowledge
of the hard disk and some important tips when you set it up.
Get to know the hard disk
Taking out the hard disk from the parcel, you will see the following equipment:
Jumper
configurations
Adjust Jumpers on your hard disk
As has been mentioned to you, we assume you know the definition of Jumpers. The
setting of Jumpers in IDE hard disk is essential for a computer to distinguish various
devices connected on the same cable. To be general, we normally set the hard disk
to "Master", indicating the first device of the cable; and we set CD-ROM to "Slave",
meaning the second device of the cable. The Jumper settings are marked on the tag
affixed to the surface of the hard disk or mentioned in its handbook. Here we only set
up one hard disk so that it has to be set as "Master."
