Wd6400bevt Master Slave Connector

To change the designation of a new drive to be a slave drive, skip to step 4.

To change the designation of an existing drive to be a slave drive: Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord, remove the drive from its drive bay, and disconnect the drive from its power cord and ribbon cable.

Check the hard drive documentation or the label on the drive itself for master/slave jumper settings.

Find the jumpers on the circuit board of the drive. Jumpers are plastic plugs with metal sleeves that form a circuit between a pair of pins. Jumper locations are labeled on the board with a J followed by a number (such as J20).

Since this drive has SATA interface, which is a serial bus, you use it and can skip the slave configuration because there are no jumpers to set and no fear of getting it wrong. With SATA, all you need is a free SATA port on the motherboard, a spare bay in which to mount your second hard drive, and a SATA cable to connect the two.

However, if you decide to configure it via the IDE interface it has you may follow the instructions described in this KB article about how to make it a slave drive:
