If you Google the hard drive that you are trying to configure then you should find all the information you need to set the jumper with.
 
There is no "masters" and "slaves" in SCSI. All devices on a bus are assigned an ID.

Check what ID your current drive has (probably 0 (all ID bits 0)). Set your new drive to have a different ID (7 is probably taken by the SCSI controller already, 1 is a good idea (ID bit 1 set to 1)).

You might want to read up on SCSI bus termination so you don't make a big (unusable) mess.
