Configuring Your Hard Disk Drive
After you have decided if your hard disk drive will be a primary
or secondary drive, refer to
“Installing the Hard Disk Drive in Your PC” on page 6.
Configuring Without Cable Select
CAUTION
HP recommends that only qualified persons should change these and
other drive settings.
Follow these procedures to disable the cable select feature if your
PC’s data cable does not support cable select:
Configuring Your New Hard Disk Drive
1
Remove the cable select jumper from the hard disk drive. If
necessary, use tweezers or needle-nose pliers to remove a
jumper.
2
Configure the drive either as the master (bootable) or as the
slave drive by selecting appropriate jumper position. Note that
only one primary and one secondary drive are allowed on the
same data cable.
NOTE
For jumper positions refer to the
HP IDE Hard Disk Drive
Technical Information
which accompanies this
HP IDE Hard Disk
Drive Installation Guide.
