PX-760 Installation and Users Manual
Section 3. Installing the PX-760SA Internal SATA Drive
If your drive came pre-installed, some or all of the items above may have been installed and may not be separately available. See the Plextor web site for locations to purchase additional or replacement accessories.
Set the PX-760SA DMA Jumper (If Needed)
Your PX-760SA ships from the factory with no DMA jumper installed. (The pins are empty. ) The empty pins mean the drive is set to Ultra DMA. This setting should work in most cases, so you don't have to do anything more. With some personal computers that do not have an embedded non-RAID Serial ATA chipset, the computer may "hang" or crash with the PX760SA installed. If this happens, change the PX-760SA to multiword DMA mode by installing the spare jumper across the two DMA jumper pins.
Figure 20: Add the PX-760SA DMA jumper if you need to change from Ultra DMA (default) to multiword DMA Adding the jumper also configures the PX-760SA for self-test. See "Using the PX-760SA Self-Test Diagnostics" on page 68 for more details.
