Winston Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 It's my first time using or owning a SATA HDD, is it me or there's no jumpers to actually set the Drive levels, i.e. primary, slave, cable select etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetuyeda Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 there are none, as each sata port is it's own channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chisss Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 If the drive has jumpers DO NOT TOUCH THEM!!! they are for diagnosing and configuration purposes, if you change them you might loose all ur data. For SATA HDs there is only one drive per channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed though, no need for the jumpers unless someone was going from SATA to PATA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_fOoL_ Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 newbieS :D it does have jumpers, but there for PM (power managment) by default, the plastic thingy ;) is in slot 1-2 (PM Off) used for servers the only other jumper is in slot 3-4 (PM On - it puts ur HDD's into stand-by mode) conclusion--- leave the jumper (vertical) in slot 1-2 (nearest the normal atx connector - this will leave PM off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
