Installing a 3.5" IDE Hard Drive

1. Configure Your IDE Hard Drive
as a Master
Your IDE drive has
a jumper block at
the back (situated
between the ATA
interface connector
and the power con-
nector). The jumper
block has an array of
pins. You may need
to plug one or more
jumpers onto spe-
cific pins in order to
configure the drive as a master. Your
drive most likely came with jumpers already attached to the
jumper block.
Each IDE drive manufacturer has a different jumper arrange-
ment for specific drive configurations (master, slave, cable
select etc.). Refer to the instructions that came with your
drive and, if necessary, arrange the jumper(s) so that the
drive is configured as a master. You should use small needle-
nose pliers or tweezers to remove/insert jumpers.
If you do not have your drive's manual, most drive manufac-
turers make manuals available for download from their web
sites. Be sure to download the correct manual for your spe-
cific model as jumper configurations can differ from model
to model.
