Setting The Ide Device Jumpers - Epson ActionPC 7300 User Manual

This section includes steps for the following procedures:

Setting the IDE device jumpers

Installing a hard disk drive in the mounting bracket
Replacing the mounting bracket in the computer
Connecting the drive cables
Setting the IDE Device Jumpers
Before you install any IDE device, be sure to check its jumper
settings. The jumpers indicate the master and slave
configuration of devices connected to both of the IDE
interfaces. If you have two hard disk drives, one must be
configured as the master (which contains your operating
system), and the other as the slave.
A table in the "Information for Qualified Hard Disk Drives"
section of Appendix A lists the master and slave jumper
settings for some high-capacity, IDE hard disk drives. If your
drive is not listed or you need more information, see the
documentation that came with your drive or contact the
manufacturer.
If you are installing another type of IDE device, such as an IDE
CD-ROM drive, check the documentation that came with the
device for the master and slave jumper settings. You must
connect these devices to the secondary IDE interface, as described in
this chapter. Use the primary interface to connect only IDE hard disk
drives.
