I am trying to install a Nikimi (NIK-XR102A) hard drive in a removeable tray, to allow me to back up data, but i'm not sure what jumper setting to use. There are 4 settings that i can see:

DS MASTER
CS CABLE SELECT
PK PARK
WS

Can anyone help?

Any info much appreciated

I am not familiar with every external enclosure, but the one's I have encountered usually have the drives set to Secondary, or Slave.

This is what i thought, but the drive only has the jumper settings that i listed, so not sure which of them i should use.

If this external drive is hooked up either by usb or fire wire it should be set to master (DS).
Try that jumper setting,I'm sure it will work although you may need to set it up futher (format and partition) in disk management.

The hard drive will be installed in a removable tray, so that it can be removed from the machine, the rack the tray connects to is connected by a ribbon cable and the tray has a 40 pin connector that connects to the rack when it is pushed and locked in.
