Quantum Europa 540/810/1080AT


The following values are used to set the PC/AT CMOS Table:

Drive		540AT	810AT	1080AT
Cylinder	1176	1764	2352
Heads		15	15	15	
Sectors		60	60	60	
Write Precomp	65535*	65535*	65535*	
Landing Zone	1176	1764	2352

*= The Quantum Europa does not require Write Pre compensation, your CMOS setting should be set to reflect that this feature is not enabled. A value of 65535 is a number that many BIOS manufactures use to disable this feature if the value 'none' is not present.

Jumper Settings


The Europa disk drive has three drive mode jumper options; DS, SP and CS. To configure the drive as:

The SP jumper is only used when the second drive in a two drive configuration does not support DASP. DASP (Drive active / drive 1 present) is a CAM (Common Access Method) defined signal that indicates the presence of a second drive, DASP is used during power on initialization and after a reset. Prior to this definition, products were introduced which did not utilize this method to detect the presence of a second drive. The SP jumper is only used on the MASTER drive, with the DS jumper, when the second drive does not support DASP.

The CS (Cable Select) jumper is only used in systems that support this feature. Cable Select allows for each IDE disk drive to be jumped the same and the position on the cable determines the ID. This requires special cable and both drives on the interface would have to support this feature.
