Installing a 3.5” Hard Drive
1.
Configure your IDE Hard Drive as a Master
(Does not apply for SATA Hard Drives)
Your IDE drive has a jumper black at the back (situated between the ATA
interface connector and the power connector). The jumper block has an
array of pins. You may need to plug one or more jumpers onto specific
pins in order to configure the drive as a master. Your drive most likely
came with jumpers already attached to the jumper block.
Each IDE drive manufacturer has a different jumper arrangement for
specific drive configurations (master, slave, cable select, etc). Refer to the
instructions that came with your drive and, if necessary, arrange the
jumper(s) so that the drive is configured as a master. You should use
small needle-nose pliers or tweezers to remove/insert jumpers.
If you do not have your drive’s manual, most manufacturers make
manuals available for download from their websites. Be sure to download
the correct manual for your specific model as jumper configurations can
differ from model to model.
