CS position may be stored on the PK jumper pins.

4.3.2

Drive Select (DS) Jumper

You can also daisy-chain two drives on the ATA bus interface by using

their Drive Select (DS) jumpers. To use the DS feature, the CS jumper

must not be installed.

To configure a drive as the Master (Device 0), a jumper must be installed

on the DS pins.

Note: The order in which drives are connected in a daisy chain

has no significance.

4.3.3

Master Jumper configuration

In combination with the current DS or CS jumper settings, the Slave

Present (SP) jumper can be implemented if necessary as follows:

Note: The CS position doubles as the Slave present on this

drive.

• When the drive is configured as a Master

(

DS jumper installed

or CS jumper installed, and the Cable Select signal is set to

(0), adding an additional jumper (both jumpers DS and CS now

installed) will indicate to the drive that a Slave drive is

present. This Master with Slave Present jumper configuration

should be installed on the Master drive only if the Slave drive

does not use the Drive Active/Slave Present (DASP–) signal

to indicate its presence.

4.3.4

Jumper Parking (PK) Position

The PK position is used as a holding place for the jumper for a slave drive

in systems that do not support Cable Select. The pins used for the

parking position are vendor unique.
