Stupid Jumper Question - 09/10/2006 18:05

Hi Everyone...

Forgive my idiocy. My Empeg stopped working - got the No Hard Drive Found warning. I took it out of my car and noticed a slight rattling. Upon opening it up I found the jumper had fallen off the drive selection jumper pins. I assume the jumper goes on the furthest drive to designate it as Drive 1, Drive 0 being closer on the ribbon cable to the main board connector. Is this correct? Also - is it cable select or do I have to ID the 1 and 0 drives implicitly? I believe there was only one jumper. These are 2 80 GB Fujitsu drives. There are 3 choices for jumper configs, drive o, drive 1, or cable select.

Thanks Everyone.

Joe

On my 2a the jumper goes on the drive at the end of the cable.

Cable Select doesn't work on the empeg if I remember correctly. I've never used it so chances are you only lost that one jumper.

Technically, Drive 0 should be at the end of the cable (read that here years ago) and Drive 1 should be on the slot closer to the board.

Just try it one way and see if it initiates a database rebuild (or, another indicator would be if the player boots up with an older version of the player software. Software updates only get applied to the Drive 0.). If it does, you put it on the wrong drive. Just unplug and try it the other way.
