This question is highly dependent on the specifics of your hard drive. Some hard drives have jumper set ups where theres a setting that has no jumper.

The Quantum Fireball 3.5 Hard Drive typically features jumper settings for configuring the drive as a master, slave, or cable select. The specific jumper configuration can usually be found on a label on the drive itself or in the user manual. Generally, to set the drive as a master, you would place the jumper on the designated pins for the master configuration, while for slave, it would go on the slave pins. Always ensure to consult the specific documentation for your model for accurate settings.
