Mounting Brackets
Most drives need to be outfitted with mounting
brackets before being installed into a computer.
Please refer to your computer and/or drive's user
guides for details.
Jumper Block
Prior to installing a drive, you may need to reconfig-
ure it as either a master or slave drive. Figure 7 lists
common jumper settings. Most drives are factory
preset as a master drive. To change the setting, you
will need to reconfigure the position of the jumpers
located in the jumper block. The jumper block is
located at the rear of the drive (Figure 8), or on the
drive's exposed printed circuit board (Figure 9).
The location of the jumper block and position of
jumpers vary depending on the manufacturer of the
drive. Refer to your drive's user guide or the jumper
setting information printed on your drive.
Support Note:
drive's jumpers, verify the orientation of
the drive with respect to the illustration.
Illustrations may vary.
