X= PK is a Parking position. The presence or absence of this jumper has no effect on the drive. Labeling may
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 (80 conductor), the master drive is placed on the outside
(end) cable connector and the slave drive is placed on the intermediate cable connector.
