Configuring Your Hard Disk Drive
Configuring Your Hard Disk Drive
HP hard disk drives are preconfigured at the factory to use HP's
cable select feature. This means that in an HP PC, the drive's data
cable connection determines which is the primary or secondary
drive.
Configuring With Cable Select (Recommended by HP)
NOTE If you have altered the preconfigured settings of your hard disk
drive(s), ensure that the cable select feature is configured before
installation. As part of configuration, the jumper is installed on the
cable select.
If you are using an HP hard disk drive data cable, there is no need to
configure the jumpers on your hard disk drive. You will need to
connect your hard disk drive(s) to the data cable as described
below.
