3.5" HDD Modification - DS5-OE

For the DS5 to recognise the internal drive, the HDD has to spin up and be ready before the
system boots. For some hard drives, the spin up time can be quite long and some drives
may not be recognised at all.
If this is the case with your drive, adjust the jumper on the DS5-OE bridge board to delay
the boot time and leave more time for the drive to spin up. Refer to the following image for
the modified jumper setting.
Note: Leave the jumper at its default position for 2.5" drives and CF cards. This
modification is only necessary for 3.5" drives with a long spin up time. The DS5-OE
supports 3.5" IDE hard drives up to 750GB.
