Lite-On CD\DVD SH-16A7S, Jumper Question

[bpatters55]

Hello All,

I have a SATA, LiteOn CD\DVD with the model number sh-16a7s. Looks like it was built in 2006. I went to the LiteOn site and they are pretty horrible support-wise. No manual, no driver, no documentation at all on the drive. I did find a manual for a different LiteOn which is about the same age drive. The jumper settings in the manual say the jumpers go as follows from left to right (looking at the back of the drive)

CS SL MA

I will be installing this drive as the only drive on a brand new system. I plan to use Windows XP Home. Which setting should I place the jumper? CS or cable select? If anyone knows where a copy of the manual is, pls let me know.

Thanks, Bill

SATA drives don't need jumpers SATA is one device per channel, and so there is no master/slave/cable select.

Many thanks Proximon. The reason I ask is I was watching a video on youtube that ComputerShopper created. When the guy went to install the CD, I could have sworn he said to set the jumper to "Cable Select".

He was probably installing an IDE drive.

Have a look at the pictures.

Your SATA drive does indeed have jumper pins, but would not have shipped with an actual jumper. Most SATA drives don't even have jumper pins:
