1. Hard Disk Installation
① Jumper Setup as Master or Slave
• Set the jumper on each HDD to ‘Master’ or ‘Slave’,
depending on the drive configuration, and following the
diagram that is labeled on the top of the HDD.
• The jumper is located next to the Hard Disk Data Cable
on the Rear Side of Hard Disk.
• If One HDD is being installed, set the drive to ‘Master’
If Two HDD are being installed, set the 2nd drive as
‘Slave’.
‼ When adding or swapping any HDD, the system must be
turned OFF. If not, it may cause a fatal Hard Disk Error. ‼
※ Example of Samsung HDD Jumper Setup (check label on top of HDD before changing the jumper setting)
• Refer to Jumper Pin Setting information labeled on HDD surface.
• When Installing One HDD, setup HDD as ‘Master’.
• When Installing Two HDDs or installing an additional drive to a unit,
Setup the 1st HDD as ‘Master’ and the 2nd HDD as ‘Slave’.
• When More than Two HDDs are installed, setup as ‘Master’ or ‘Slave’
1and connect an IDE Cable using the same method as listed above.
!! Please only use HDDs which will support UDMA66. or higher. !!
② IDE Cable Connection to Main Board
• Confirm that the IDE Cable is inside the product.
• Among the three connectors, the blue-colored connector
must be connected to IDE Port on Main Board.
• The other two connectors are to be connected to HDDs.
