Hitachi Jumper Settings

 

[This note applies to all ICR Flex and Pro series DVRs]

Note: In the picture, the number represents the step number in the walkthrough. This note only applies to Hitachi brand hard drives only.

 

Step 1: Look towards the back of the Hitachi hard drive you’re going to be installing. You should see the jumper pin outs in between the IDE pin outs and power (Molex) adapter.

 

Step 2:  Depending on how many hard drives you’re installing determines what jumper settings you have to use for each one. For instance if you’re installing only one hard drive and have no other hard drives already installed, you can simply set your jumper setting just to “master” since its by itself. If you have more then one hard drive you’re installing, you will have to use a “master” and “slave” setup. In this fashion you will have two hard drives utilizing one IDE channel having one set to “master” and the other set to “slave” for the jumpers.

 

Step 3: Below is the configuration of a “master” jumper pin out.

 

 

         Step 4: Below is configuration of a “slave” jumper pin out.

 

 

Step 5: You will be physically done with setting up your hard drives at this point. For further instructions on finishing the install for a Flex series DVR or Pro series DVR, please refer to our other walkthroughs.
