Changing other applicable jumper options

Barracuda 1 and 2 drives are designed to be used in a variety of systems. Unique installations may require you to change one or more of the other jumpers to meet specific system requirements; however, in most cases, you will not need to change any of these jumpers for normal drive operation. Figures 9a and 9b provide the information necessary to configure all N and ND drive jumpers not discussed elsewhere in this manual.
