Western Digital (250-0105/6) Jumper Settings Faxback Doc. # 15669 Hard Disk Upgrade Kits Be sure you have determined your installation requirements, configuration, and materials before proceeding. A jumper is required if you are installing the Westerm Digital hard drive with an existing drive. For dual drive installations, jumper shunts are needed to designate which drive is master (C:) and which is slave (D:). We recommend using the Western Digital hard drive as the master. The Western Digital drive has a jumper block (J8) located next to the 40-pin connector on the drive. The Western Digital drive is factory set for single drive installation. If you are installing the Western Digital drive as the only IDE drive in your system, you do not need to install any jumper shunts. If you have a dual installation (two IDE drives), you must designate one of the drives as the master and the other as the slave. The jumper pins on block J8 need to be configured for dual installation. To designate the Western Digital drive as the master, place a jumper shunt on pins 5-6. To designate the Western Digital drive as the slave, place a jumper shunt on pins 3-4.

As of July 1994 Western Digital is adding a jumper shunt on all 3.5" Western Digital drives. With the jumper now added to the drive, you can configure your drive as either a single, master or slave, without having to purchase an extra jumper shunt. The jumper is installed on the J8 jumper block across pins 3 and 5 which is a neutral storage position. (SMC/tmc-06/13/95)
