Installing Drive Jumpers (Hard disk, CD ROM and DVD ROM)


Installing drive Jumpers 

When we using SATA drive there is no need to adjust jumpers but we using OR installing IDE/ATA (PATA) drives we need to set the drives jumpers. Every IDE/ATA channel can handle two drives, one is master and second is slave. Consult your drive's instructions on how to set the jumpers. Normaly the jumper configurations are usually either printed on the back, or on the top of the drive. And drives can be configured in 2 ways: Drive Select or Cable Select. The drive jumpers are in the middle (between the connector for the cable and the power connector)
