My hard drive accessory is not detecting my IDE hard drive. What do I do? - StarTech.com IT Pro Community
<main> <article class="userContent"> <p>If you are unable to detect your IDE (PATA) drive using a StarTech.com product, you may need to change the jumper settings on your drive. The jumpers switch the drive between Master,<strong> </strong>Slave, and Cable Select for most drives. A jumper is a small plastic piece that slides on top of two pins to electrically short them together.</p><p>When it does not mention what IDE drive configuration is required or if there is only one drive in the setup, the drive should be configured as <strong>Master</strong>. If Master is not working, try using the drive in <strong>Cable Select</strong>.</p><p>There is no standard position for the jumpers on IDE drives. On some drives, the jumper diagram is on the label that is on the top of the drive. On other drives, there are markings on the circuit board for <strong>CS</strong>, <strong>MA</strong>, and <strong>SL</strong>, which means a jumper shorts the pins vertically in that position. For more information, refer to the documentation provided by the manufacturer.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><div class="blockquote"><div class="blockquote-content"><p class="blockquote-line">This FAQ applies to these products: <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2F35baycf2ide" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">35BAYCF2IDE</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Fbracket25" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">BRACKET25</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Fide2510u2" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">IDE2510U2</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Fide2cf" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">IDE2CF</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Fide2sat" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">IDE2SAT</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Fide2sat2" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">IDE2SAT2</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Fide3510u2" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">IDE3510U2</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Fide35252x" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">IDE35252X</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fcables%2Fide4044" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">IDE4044</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Fpata2sata3" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">PATA2SATA3</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fcards-adapters%2Fpciide2" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">PCIIDE2</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fcards-adapters%2Fpex2ide" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">PEX2IDE</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Fsat2ideadp" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">SAT2IDEADP</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Fsdock2u33v" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">SDOCK2U33V</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Funi2510u2v" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">UNI2510U2V</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Funi251bmu33" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">UNI251BMU33</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Funi3510bmu32" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">UNI3510BMU32</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Funi3510u2" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">UNI3510U2</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Funi3510u2eb" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">UNI3510U2EB</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Funidock2u" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">UNIDOCK2U</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Funidock3u" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">UNIDOCK3U</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Funidocku33" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">UNIDOCKU33</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Funidupdock" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">UNIDUPDOCK</a> <a href="https://community.startech.com/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.startech.com%2Fen-us%2Fhdd%2Fusb2sataide" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">USB2SATAIDE</a> </p></div></div><p><br></p> </article> </main>
