Unlike the older IDE HDDs, SATA HDDs like the one you have do not have a Master/Slave selector as it is not required. An IDE (or PATA) cable has two connections on it, one for the master and one for the slave. A SATA cable only has one connector for one HDD so there is no master or slave.
If you have a secondary IDE HDD that you are installing then just set it to Master as there are no other IDE HDDs in your PC.
