  • Page 26: I/O Connector

    The options jumper block allows you to: • Configure the drive for single-drive operation. • Configure the drive as master or slave. • Extend the time period the Seagate drive as master waits for the slave to respond for status acknowledgment during the boot cycle.

  • Page 27: Figure 3. Connectors And Jumper Block

    The jumper settings for these options are shown in Figure 4 on page 20. A spare shunt is attached to pins 2 and 4. This pin combination does not affect any drive function. If you need additional shunts, use Seagate part number 10562-001 or an equivalent.
