Setting the Jumpers and Locating Pin 1

Before you install any IDE devices, you need to check the

settings of the device’s jumpers and locate pin 1 on the drive

connector.

The jumpers indicate the master and slave configuration of
devices connected to both of the IDE interfaces. A table in the

“Information for Qualified Hard Disk Drives” section of

Appendix A lists the master and slave jumper settings for

EPSON-qualified, high-capacity, IDE hard disk drives. If your

hard disk drive is not listed in that table, check the

documentation that came with it or call the manufacturer for

the jumper settings.

Note

You may also want to look at the information that came with

your drive and make a note of the drive parameters (such as

cylinders, heads, etc.), in case the auto-sensing feature in

SETUP cannot detect these parameters when you configure

the drive.

If you are installing another type of IDE device, such as an IDE

CD-ROM drive, check the documentation that came with the

device for the master and slave jumper settings. You must
connect these devices to the secondary IDE interface, as described in

this chapter. Use theprimary interface to connect only IDE hard disk

drives.
