Wd1600aajs Hard Drive Jumper Question

I have two WD1600aajs 160 GB drives. One is currently installed as the primary drive in a Dell Vostro 230 desktop I would like to install the other drive in the same desktop as a second (not primary) drive. What are the correct jumper settings for each of these drives?

As this is a SATA drive it is simple solution to just install the drive onto the second SATA interface on the motherboard. You may need to acquire a power cable and interface cable to be able to connect it to the motherboard. It will be identical to what is currently connected to your primary drive.You should then be able to access the drive.
