Configuring the new IDE drive
www.gateway.com
To set the jumpers for an IDE drive:
1 Look at the jumper label to find the jumpers for setting a master, a slave,
or a cable select drive. The label is either a sticker on the drive, or it is
printed directly on the drive.
2 If both of the drives and the IDE data cable support cable select, set the
jumpers for the drives as cable select. IDE data cables that support cable
select should be labeled CS. Cable select makes the drive in the middle of
the cable the slave, and the drive at the end of the cable the master.
- OR -
If both drives do not support cable select, go to the next step.
3 If the drive is in the middle of the IDE data cable and you are going to
configure your drive as the slave drive, set the jumpers as
Slave A. If Slave A
is not an option, set the jumpers as
Slave.
- OR -
If the drive is at the end of the IDE data cable and you are going to
configure your drive as the master drive, set the jumpers as
Master A. If
Master A is not an option, set the jumpers as
Master.
