Duh on me! Just look in the manual that came with the hd--should have a page with the jumper settings (diagram). Like I said, it should have already been factory set for either Master or Single drive. Now, we're assuming you are NOT going to slave that old drive to the new one and clone it. Don't. If there is a jumper on the back of that hard drive, if it's horizontal, then it's in a "neutral" position. If it's vertical, then the hd has been set for a particular setting. In either case, leave it alone. That jumper in the bag is probably just an extra.
Those things may be tiny, but they're important. You'll see one or a few on your new mobo. The only one you really will need to be concerned about is the one near the CMOS chip--used to clear the CMOS when necessary. Should be no need to adjust any of them, so leave them be.

It was loose in the bag with those 4 screws.
You did mean to install with the green part up, right ? So now I'd have to turn the case upside down to see that diagram ? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I wrote them down on the Warranty page before putting it in. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Yes they are in the manual.
The one that is already there in the back is white and horizontal.
I'm reading the book now, too.
Did have a CD in the box.
EDIT:
Nope it is a floppy.

Mine had the second jumper also, it for the 9 pin connector. It requires 2 connectors in each setting. But, I got the 10, therefore I have a backup.
The floppy was with mine also.

Evenin' !
Well, I'm ready for some more installin'. This is pretty easy so far. And this was the part I was worried about. The cards I've already "had experience" with https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Now, those connectors loose in there hangin' off that power supply...will I be able to figure THAT out? Hopefully, only one will work with each componant...then there will be no deciding about it. Still concerned as to why there are y's on the end. One goes on e place another in another or just in case the componant has one or the other ? ...Did that make sense? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

2 go to floppies , incase you have 2 of them.
and do not forget all your fans either https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
cd-rom
3 fans
HD
If not enough connectors, you can get Y connectors and double you 4 pins. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

The more I hear about this useless bundle of software the more inclined I am to consider that White Box. I called their 1-800 # about it and asked if it included the same three year Warranty. They assured me it does. And all it does NOT have is that pretty box and the demos and game. Not the same as OEM... still...
-
Morning All, Will change over tonight. Any ideas on a different board. Looks like even the better cards have trouble passing all the tests or is it a case of being real pickey and are these tests that are run out of the eyes range or capability? Later and be well. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

QoH: "Silver" side up, "green" side down; with the connectors facing towards the inside of the case. Hey, if it's the same card without all the bells and whistles, go for it. You'll want to install the Nvidia reference drivers anyway, not the ones on the CD.
Am in the process of compiling a BIOS and Display Properties "tweak" list so ya'll can get the most from that vid card.
Re: the power wires---pretty logical. "Big" plugs go into devices (CD, HD), little ones go into floppies. You are just given a choice of how to arrange them. You'll notice one, maybe two that have a big plug and a little one in 'Y'. Little one can go to a floppy, big one either for a HD or CD or a fan that has a matching plug--doesn't really matter. It's a good idea for each major device (CD/HD) to have it's own line though if possible, rather than share a Y-connector. Sharing a Y between a fan and the floppy drive is fine.

https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ I have it upside down.
Oh well... just four screws.
Connections are in the right direction, tho. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I think I will for $120 vs $150
I'm in a gambling mood this morning. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Tweakin' huh? Good
Mornin' btw

Nothing "wrong" with having it upside down--with some configs with multiple hd's some of them have to be oriented that way. But for yours, just flip it. That way, the electronics exposed on the "card' side aren't anywhere near the metal surface of the hd cage.
Yeah..."tweaks"--just a bunch of cut & paste, my additions, and a few other goodies. Messed with the card last night---score went up further from 4600's to 4900's. Think that's about it for the tweaking. Very happy with the performance.
How's the mobo hunt right now, guys?

The Motherboard Abit 133BX RAID (370 socket)is ordered and so is the Hercules Prophet II MX !

Any one know anything about this site? Could be useful. Is there a better one?

Sorry, but I find that "service" to be somewhat ludicrous. Why would i want to upload, then download files over the Net just to copy my files onto a new hard drive? (Unless I was doing it for someone else long-distance). Can do it right here. Has a 300mb limit(per session?)---most hard drives with programs, apps, exceed that. The only "advantage" I see is to transfer files from home to office or vice-versa. There's apps to do that like PC-Anywhere.
Finished typing up a BIOS/Display properties tweak sheet for the Prophet II. I'll send it to ya'll if you want.
QoH: check your e-mail. Yes? No?

Nuffin' here yet, bistro. I'll keep checkin'.
Be here a few more minutes, then I gotta get busy and make some more money. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
