Section 2. Installing Your PX-504A
Changing Jumper Settings
• To remove a jumper, pull it off with your fingers or a pair of needle-nose pliers.
• To install a jumper, push it onto the jumper pins.
CAUTION: Ensure power to the drive is OFF before installing or removing a jumper.
Figure 5: Install the Mode Jumper Across Vertical Pairs of Pins
CAUTION: Install the mode jumper across the pins as shown (vertically). Do not
connect one pin switch to another by installing the jumper lengthwise (horizontally).
Doing so could result in damage to the drive.

Select an IDE Configuration

Set the jumper according to the desired configuration, as shown in the tables and
illustrations on the next few pages.
NOTE: For best CD-RW performance, try to connect the PX-504A to the IDE port that
is not connected to the hard disk drive or to a CD-ROM drive. In most cases, this will
be the secondary IDE port.
NOTE: For best results, set the PX-504A to be the Master, if possible.
