Page 25: Ultra Ata Drive Guidelines And Features
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.

Page 31: Drive Capacities
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.
