It's an IDE drive so it depends on how your primary boot drive is configured, if it's configured as master then the second drive must be configured as slave, if it's cable select then the second drive must be configured as cable select. Almost all modern drives have a jumper diagram right on the label on the drive itself, which is mostly self explanatory.
