#144622 - 20/02/2003 04:49 Hard drive jumpers - drive upgrade
CrackersMcCheese pooh-bah Registered: 14/01/2002 Posts: 2489	Just bought a new oem travelstar 60gb drive fro ebay, but i don't understand the jumpers. Theres a diagram on the label that makes no sense to me - how do I set up master and slave etc so that I can add it alongside the original 10gb? No jumpers came with the drive. Does it matter whixh drive is the master or slave? Cheers, Phil

A jumper on pins A and B would be slave, and on pins D and B would be cable select. _________________________ Donato MkII/080000565 MkIIa/010101253 ricin.us

You might wanna buy like 10qty to make it worth it. JUMPER SOCKET BLACK PK25 - pack of 25? if so then thats not too bad. Edited by qbasic309 (20/02/2003 06:15)

Pm. me your address and I can put some in the post. Actually, are they a special size or the standard ones used on 3.5" drives and motherboards? Gareth

Shonky pooh-bah Registered: 12/01/2002 Posts: 2009 Loc: Brisbane, Australia	There are two types of pitch used these days imperial (0.1" = 2.54mm) and metric (2mm). Most things are 0.1" spaced (MBs, 3.5"HDD, many connectors). However some stuff like 2.5"HDD are 2mm pitch. _________________________ Christian #40104192 120Gb (no longer in my E36 M3, won't fit the E46 M3)
