The drives are connected with automatic termination in the serial interface because each drive has its own cable. If a jumper is present, it is likely for backwards compatibility. As stated, each SATA disk drive has its own cable that connects directly to a Serial ATA host adapter or a Serial ATA port on your motherboard. Some motherboards have SATA connectors along with legacy connectors. You can use a Serial ATA drive in the same system with Parallel ATA drives as long as both interfaces are supported on the motherboard or with a host adapter. When the computer is turned on, check the BIOS to see if the drive is detected. If all of your drive controllers are enabled and the drive is properly connected it should be listed.
