Jumper Settings

For the hard drive to be detected by the WD Quick Tester, the drive
must be jumpered according to the manufacturer's instructions. Verify
that the jumper settings on the hard drive are supported by the WD
Quick Tester. Western Digital hard drives must be jumpered as Cable
Select or Single (see diagram below). For non Western Digital hard
drives, refer to the manufacturer's documentation.
Supported by the WD Quick Tester:
Cable Select (CSEL/CS): Jumper settings remain the same on all
!
hard drives in a system (both single- and multi-drives setups). This
protocol requires a special CSEL cable, and the host system must
support CSEL. The WD Quick Tester supports this setting.
Single: Indicates the only drive on the cable. Three distinct
!
configurations on Western Digital hard drives are a) pins 3 and 5
for older models, b) pins 4 and 6 for current 10-pin drives, and c)
the simplest, for late model drives, all jumpers removed. The WD
Quick Tester supports all three configurations of the Single
setting.
Not supported by the WD Quick Tester:
Master: Designates the drive as the boot device or first device
!
detected on the cable and that a Slave device is present. The WD
Quick Tester does not support the Master setting on Western
Digital hard drives because these drives have unique
configurations for Master and Single. However, the Master setting
is supported on other manufacturer hard drives that share the
same configuration for Master and Single.
Slave: Designates the drive for use as additional storage and that
!
another device (a Master or boot drive) is on the cable. The WD
Quick Tester does not support this setting.
