Appropriate Jumper Settings

Depending on the settings of your computer, use one of the following configurations.

Hint

Your computer has two IDE connectors: a primary and a secondary connector. You can connect up to two devices to each connector using cables (one master device and one slave device per cable; hard disk, CD, or DVD drives, etc.). The hard disk of your computer is normally connected on the primary IDE cable as the master device. Before connecting the drive, refer to the items below to determine your situation, and then place the jumper in the MASTER or SLAVE position.
