Need Auto-Startup Jumper on IBM DFHS Drives

In a limited number of cases, we have sent out 2GB IBM DFHS AV-Capable drives that do
not have the jumpers properly set. If the auto-startup jumper is not in place, HDT
Primer will return an error that the drive is not ready when trying to access
it. The resolution is as follows:

1. LOCATE the jumper pins on the front of the drive.

2. LOCATE the reference pin. This single pin is the only pin that is not in a pair
and is located fourth from the left.

3. INSTALL a jumper vertically on the pair of pins to the immediate right of the
reference pin.
