Have you Googled the hard drive's model number? The manufacturer usually gives a good explanation of the jumpers.  

My WAG (wild assed guess) would be that you need 6 (last device on the internal chain) and maybe 7.  I would be tempted to try it without 8 & maybe 9.  Maybe the docs will better define the difference between 9 & 10 (They seem to be the same thing).  There should be no harm in trying these combinations.

If the drive came this way from a working Mac, that's a good sign that 8 & 9 are needed.

Sorry, I have not stumbled into any Hp drives yet.

EDIT:  I lost my HD8+, but you may have an issue with the Rom in the HD8+ and the maximum size HD you use with it. I don't remember this well at all.  I think the last rev Rom will work with a 4.2 Gig drive.
