Set the Drive’s Mode Jumper
You specify your drive's Master or Slave setting before installing it. You do this by
changing the position of a jumper on the mode jumper block at the rear of the drive.
Your drive ships from our factory with its mode jumper set to operate the PlexWriter
as a Master. This will work in most custom system configurations. If your computer
is from a large OEM system manufacturer such as IBM, Hewlett Packard, Gateway
or Compaq, you will need to pay particular attention to whether the computer uses a
Cable Select scheme.
Changing the Mode Jumper on Your Internal PlexWriter
Drive
The PlexWriter drive arrives from the factory with its mode jumper set to Master. (A
function is ON if the jumper is installed and OFF if the jumper is removed.)

Changing to a Master, Slave, or Cable Select
The Master/Slave setting for the drive is determined by the mode jumper. To change
the drive from Master to Slave or to Cable Select, you must move the jumper.
For example, to change the PlexWriter drive to be a Slave, move the jumper to the
middle set of pins, leaving the other pins uncovered. To change the drive for Cable
Select, move the jumper to the left set of pins. (Note that if any device is jumpered as
Cable Select, then both devices connected to that cable must be jumpered as Cable
Select.)
