Aptiva - 2162 Hard disk drive jumper settings

Applicable to: World-Wide

Hard Disk Drive Jumper Settings

Up to four drive devices (hard disk, CD-ROM, or Zip drives) can be installed in Service Level A systems. If
any drives do not show in the Installed Devices list in the Setup Utility, ensure the jumper settings and
connectors are set as shown here.

Primary Hard Disk Drive IDE Local Bus Connector

At the primary hard disk drive IDE connector, make sure the first drive installed is set as the master drive
(1 in the following figures).

Note: If a second drive is installed, it must be attached to the secondary IDE connector. Set the jumpers as
the slave drive (2 in the following figures).

All recovery preloaded software should be installed on the master hard disk drive on the primary connector.

Secondary Hard Disk Drive Connector

If additional drives are connected to the secondary hard disk drive connector, set the first drive connected to

this connector as the master drive (1 in the following figures). If a second drive is connected to the
secondary hard disk drive connector, set the jumpers as the slave drive (2 in the following figures). Ensure
all software is set to recognize all installed drives.

For non-internal Zip models, the CD-ROM drive is connected to the secondary drive connector at the
factory as the master drive. If an additional hard disk drive is connected to the secondary connector, it must
be set as the master drive,1 , and the CD-ROM drive jumpers reset as the slave drive

Note: Check the Setup Utility for correct installation:
Hard Disk 1 Master drive
Hard Disk 2 Slave drive (Also, Zip drive with internal zip drive models)

Hard Disk 3 Master drive (CD-ROM if other drive not connected to this connector.
Hard Disk 4 Slave drive (CD-ROM if hard disk or internal Zip drive installed at secondary connector,
Hard Disk 3)
