Install the Hard Drive with a Controller Card

Set the Jumpers

The default setting for your new Western Digital hard drive is Cable Select (CSEL), which
requires a special cable (included in your kit). However, the Ultra ATA controller card does
not support this setting. To use the Ult ra ATA controller card with your new Western Digital
hard drive, you must change the jumper set ting. Th e app ropr iate j umper setti ng for y our new
hard drive will vary depending on your drive configuration. Iden tify yo ur drive configuration
and jumper your new Western Digital hard drive to the recommended setting.
NOTE: Both Master/Slave and Cable Select configurations refer to having multiple
devices attached to the same IDE interface cable. If you are conn ecting only on e devi ce to
the IDE interface cable, then the device is considered to be a Single drive.
Western Digital IDE hard drives have a 10-pin jumper block located next to the 40-pin IDE
connector on the hard drive.
IMPORTANT: This sections applies to the Western Digital hard drives that
came with an Ultra ATA con trolle r card. I f your har d drive ki t did not come with
a controller card, you must follow the procedures on page 3.
