Get to know hard disk
Taking out the hard disk from the parcel, you will see the following equipments:
Jumper
configurations
Adjust the Jumpers on your hard disk
As mentioned, we assume you know the definition of Jumpers. The setting of Jumpers in IDE
hard disk is necessary for a computer to distinguish various devices connected on the same cable.
In general, we normally set hard disk to "Master", indicating the first device of the cable; then we set
CD-ROM to "Slave", meaning the second device of the cable. The settings of the Jumpers are
marked on the tag attached to the surface of the hard disk or are mentioned in its handbook. Here,
we only set up one hard disk, so that means the jumper has to be set as "Master."
