Some systems may require you to use the 15 head logical architecture. This is because they translate a drive greater than 4 GB by multiplying the head count by 16.  The result (16 x 16 = 256) is interpreted as 0 heads with a 0 capacity and is an illegal head count. Selecting the 15 head logical jumpers produces a legal translation (16 x 15 = 240).  The translated cylinder count varies to achieve the drive's full capacity.

Jumpers

Capacity clip to 2GB/32GB with logical head 16

Jumpering 2GB/32GB capacity clip for a 34GB and higher drive will reduce the drive capacity to 33.8GB.  Jumpering 2GB/32GB capacity clip for a drive with less than 34GB capacity will reduce the drive capacity to 2GB. This option can be used in situations where there is a BIOS limitation and the drive is not recognized.

Disabling auto spin for logical head 16

Disable auto spin jumper settings

Notes:

  1. 16 head logical architecture is enabled as the shipping default. Master is set to on (i.e. jumper on pins A-B and G-H). No other jumpers are fitted.
  2. Auto Spin Disable, disables the drive from automatically spinning up when power is applied.
  3. The clip capacity 2GB option clips the capacity of the disk drive down to 2 GB. A 10.1GB drive with this option set will appear as a 2GB drive.
  4. When CABLE SELECT is specified, AT interface signal #28 CSEL  determines the drive address as follows:
    1. When CSEL is grounded or at a low level, the drive address is 0 (Device0).
    2. When CSEL is open or at a high level, the drive address is 1 (Device1).
