IDE Cabling
If you want to install an IDE hard disk, you will need to purchase an additional
IDE cable and connect it to the connector on the system board labeled "Primary
IDE Channel" (the upper connector).
NOTE The IDE cable that ships with this HP NetServer has only one
device connector; it is a "master" connector.
IDE Jumpers
Each IDE device has a jumper labeled "MA" (master), "SL" (slave), and "CS"
(cable select). This three-position jumper determines whether the device is to
function as a master device or a slave device.
•
If you want the device to function as the master or slave device,
determined by which connector on the cable the device is connected to
(master connector or slave connector), set the jumper to "CS." The
location of the device on the cable will determine the function of the
device (as master or slave) when the jumper is set to "CS" (The accessory
cable available from HP will have the connectors clearly marked "master"
and "slave.") If the device is connected to the master connector, it will
function as the IDE master device. If the device is connected to the slave
connector, it will function as the IDE slave device.
NOTE Whenever adding devices to, or changing the location of
devices on the IDE cable, set the jumper to "CS" on all devices
connected to the cable.
Set the device's jumper to "CS" (see "IDE Jumpers" above). Connect the
connector labeled "master" to the hard disk drive.
NOTE If only one device is connected to the cable, it must be
configured as the master device.
•
If you want the device to be the master device on the cable, set the jumper
to "MA." No matter what connector on the cable the device is connected
to, it will function as the IDE master device.
