    This document provides instructions on hard disk jumper settings and configurations. It discusses handling precautions when installing hard disks and explains how to set jumpers on PATA drives depending on if they are master or slave. For SATA drives, no jumper settings are needed as each SATA port connects to only one drive. The document outlines attaching SATA cables and mounting the drive, as well as configuring the BIOS to detect the new drive.

    Hard Disk Jumper Settings Guide

    Hard Disk drive jumper settings familiarization is also essential when taking exam for TESDA
    NC II Computer Servicing. Here you will learn how to set jumpers for hard disk depending on its
    purpose. Jumper settings will differ depending on the manufacturer so you must read the user
    maual before doing some configurations.

    PATA Drives Configuration

    Handling Precautions

     Disc drives are fragile. Do not drop or jar the drive. Handle the drive only by the edges or
    frame. Keep the drive in the protective anti-static container until you are ready to install it to
    minimize handling damage.
     Drive electronics are extremely sensitive to static electricity. While installing the drive,
    wear a wrist strap and cable connected to ground.
     Turn off the power to the host system during installation.
     Do not disassemble the drive. Doing so voids the warranty.
     Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit board or to the top of the drive.

    Setting Harddisk configuration PATA HDD

     Set the hard drive jumper setting (master/slave)


     Select type of configuration setup
    Installing SATA drives
    SATA hard drives - are the same size and shape as EIDE hard drives and are installed in
    exactly the same way with one big difference: one SATA port connects to one SATA hard drive,
    so there's no need to deal with the messy master and slave configuration scheme. It is not
    necessary to set any jumpers, terminators, or other settings on this drive for proper operation.
    The jumper block adjacent to the SATA interface connector is for factory use only.

    Attaching Cables and Mounting the Drive


    Attach one end of the drive interface cable to the Serial ATA interface connector on your
    computer's motherboard or Serial ATA host adapter (see your computer manual for connector
    locations).

    Note: Serial ATA connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation.

    BIOS Configuration
    Close your computer case and restart your computer. Your computer may automatically detect
    your new drive. If your computer does not automatically detect your new drive, follow the steps
    below.

    1. Restart your computer. While the computer restarts, run the system setup
    program (sometimes called BIOS or CMOS setup). This is usually done by pressing a
    special key, such as DELETE, ESC, or F1 during the startup process.
    2. Within the system setup program, instruct the system to auto detect your new
    drive.
    3. Save the settings and exit the setup program. When your computer restarts, it
    should recognize your new drive. If your system still doesn't recognize your new drive,
    see the troubleshooting section on the back of this sheet.
    Note: Serial ATA is a new interface type. Some older systems may see the drive and classify it
    as a SCSI device if you are using a Serial ATA host adapter. This is normal even though this is
    not a SCSI disc drive. This does not affect drive performance or capacity.
