IMPORTANT - Installing Your New Western Digital Hard Drive as an Upgrade From
a Previously Installed Hard Drive: To ensure the optimal settings for your drive
configuration, we recommend you run the Installation Tutorial in the Windows version of
Data Lifeguard Tools prior to the hardware installation. Data Lifeguard Tools for
Windows will generate your custom installation instructions based on the configuration
you choose. For instructions, see page 10.

Set the Jumpers

Jumper settings are used to determine the order in which IDE devices attached to a single
cable are detected by the system. Western Digital Enhanced IDE hard drives have a 10-pin
jumper block located next to the 40-pin, 80-conductor IDE connector on the hard drive. The
default jumper setting for Western Digital hard drives is Cable Select.

Cable Select Configuration

Cable Select requires a special cable (included in your kit). If your system supports Cable
Select, there is no need to reposition the jumper shunt on the drive. If you are installing your
new Western Digital hard drive with an existing IDE drive on the cable, make sure that the
other drive is also jumpered as Cable Select. If your system does not support Cable Select or if
you are uncertain, use the Master/Slave or Single configuration. See page 5 for the jumper
block diagram.
