Set The Drive's Mode Jumper - Plextor PX-712 Installation And User Manual

Section 2. Installing the PX-712A Internal ATAPI Drive
Before you install your PX-712A, your computer's IDE configuration is
usually one of the following:
• Configuration A: Hard disks connected as Master and Slave devices
on primary IDE port; DVD or CD-ROM drive connected as the
Master device on secondary IDE port.
• Configuration B: Hard disk connected as Master device and DVD
or CD-ROM drive connected as Slave on the primary IDE port;
nothing connected to secondary IDE port.
• Configuration C: Hard disk connected as Master device on primary
IDE port; nothing connected to secondary IDE port.
• Configuration D: System uses special "Cable Select" cables; all
devices are jumpered for Cable Select.

Set the Drive's Mode Jumper

You specify your drive's Master, Slave, or Cable Select setting before
installing it. You do this by changing the position of a jumper on the
mode jumper block at the rear of the drive.
Your drive ships from our factory with its mode jumper set to operate
the PX-712A as a Master. This will work in most custom system
configurations. If your computer is from a large OEM system
manufacturer such as IBM, Hewlett Packard, Gateway or Compaq, you
will need to pay particular attention to whether the computer uses the
Cable Select scheme.
