Master, Slave, or Cable
Select - Which jumper settings
should I use?
Master/Slave
Under most conditions the
standard Master or Slave setting
should work just fine. Seagate
and Maxtor ATA drives ship
directly from the factory
configured as a Master device.
If the drive is going to be
installed as the only device on
the ribbon cable, or is going to
be installed as the boot drive,
then the default Master setting
can probably be used without any
problems. Just keep in mind that
the Master device should always
be attached to the end (black)
connector on the Ultra ATA
(UDMA) ribbon cable (this cable
is supplied with your retail
box).
If the drive is going to be
installed as a secondary device
to another hard drive, then use
the Slave setting outlined in
the jumper diagram. A Slave
device should always be attached
to the middle (gray) connector
on the ribbon cable.
Note: Hard drives should
never be configured as a Slave
device to a CD-ROM or DVD drive.
Cable Select
Cable Select (CS) is an
alternative - plug and play -
method for configuring ATA or
ATAPI devices. In this
configuration both the master
and slave drives utilize the
same jumper configuration (that
is, both devices are set to
Cable Select). The drive's
master or slave status will be
determined by which connector
the drive is attached to on the
cable (black connector for
master, gray connector for
slave). Many ATAPI devices such
as CD-ROM and DVD drives, or ATA
hard drives from other
manufacturers, may come
pre-configured as Cable Select.
This option should be taken into
consideration when installing a
new ATA drive with any existing
ATAPI or ATA devices that may
employ Cable Select as their
default setting.
Note: To use this option
you must use the Ultra ATA
ribbon cable supplied in your
retail box.
Seagate recommends that
you use the Auto-Detect Feature
in the BIOS for hard drive
configuration.
If your BIOS does not utilize
Auto-Detect, Seagate recommends
that you:
- Manually
enter the
Maximum Cylinder
value for the
hard drive if
greater than 8.4
GB.
- Manually
enter the Actual
Cylinder value
for the hard
drive if less
than 8.4 GB.
