We'll need a bit more information. What model & size is it? Is this an IDE (PATA) drive? SATA drives do not need Master/Slave configurations.

If you already have one drive set as master, then simply connect the new drive but set the jumpers to slave. As far as configuring it, that depends largely on the computer in question. Any modern computer will detect them automatically, some older ones will need to be set up. Try letting it configure itself.
