    Ultra ATA Drive Guidelines and Features Ultra ATA Jumpers Ultra ATA drives are configured by means of jumper settings. Factory-installed drives ship with the jumpers preset to the cable-select mode; therefore, no jumper setting changes are required on factory pre installed, replacement, or option drives. With cable-select, the drive is configured as either Master (Drive/Device 0) or Slave (Drive/Device 1) by its physical attachment to the cable.

    4.5 Drive Capacities The combination of the file system and the operating system used in the computer determines the maximum usable size of a drive partition. A drive partition is the largest segment of a drive that may be properly accessed by the operating system. A single hard drive may therefore be subdivided into a number of unique drive partitions in order to make use of all of its space.
