    Master/Slave Settings Your Toshiba Hard Disk Drive can be configured as either a "Master" or "Slave" unit. Master configuration is used for all single drive applications, and master or slave configuration (only one of each per port) is used for two drive applications. Use the information in the following table before setting drive as Master or Slave.

In order to prevent short-circuit under any circumstances, a space of 0.5mm or more should be kept under the PCB.
