indicate to place this jumper when configuring as a slave. This is to provide for retention of the jumper in the
event that it is needed later.

* Note: Cable Select (CS) utilizes a special cable configuration where the drive setting (Master or Slave) is
determined by its position on the 40-pin ATA cable. In this type of configuration both drives will have their
jumper set to CS. Cable Select is utilized on some OEM systems and is typically required for systems utilizing
Ultra ATA/66. For Ultra ATA/66 compliant cables, the master drive is placed on the outside (end) cable

on the intermediate cable connector. connector and the slave drive is placed

** Note: ATA (IDE) drives with a physical capacity greater than 8.4GB have their default logical C/H/S values
limited to 16,383/16/63 as per the ATA-4 specification. Drives greater than 8.4GB in capacity require LBA support.
Capacity could be restricted to 8.4GB (or less) due to system BIOS limitations. Check with your system or
motherboard manufacturer to determine if your BIOS supports LBA mode for ATA hard drives greater than 8.4GB.
