Setting The Jumpers And Locating Pin 1 - Epson User Manual

Setting the Jumpers and Locating Pin 1

Before you install any IDE devices, you need to check the
settings of the device's jumpers and locate pin 1 on the drive
connector.
The jumpers indicate the master and slave configuration of
devices connected to both of the IDE interfaces. A table in the
"Information for Qualified Hard Disk Drives" section of
Appendix A lists the master and slave jumper settings for
EPSON-qualified, high-capacity, IDE hard disk drives. If your
hard disk drive is not listed in that table, check the
documentation that came with it or call the manufacturer for
the jumper settings.
Note
You may also want to look at the information that came with
your drive and make a note of the drive parameters (such as
cylinders, heads, etc.), in case the auto-sensing feature in
SETUP cannot detect these parameters when you configure
the drive.
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 theprimary interface to connect only IDE hard disk
drives.
