some old motherboards with sata1 ports had problems recognizing some sata2 hdd for which a jumper pin configuration was provided to make sata2 hdd work as sata1 hdd with these motherboards.

some of the hdd have a configuration diagram on it self on the label
For example, Seagate/Maxtor has added a user-accessible jumper-switch, known as the Force 150, to enable the drive switch between forced 1.5 Gbit/s and 1.5/3 Gbit/s negotiated operation. Western Digital uses a jumper setting called OPT1 Enabled to force 1.5 Gbit/s data transfer speed (OPT1 is enabled by putting the jumper on pins 5 & 6). Samsung drives can be forced to 1.5 Gbit/s mode using software that may be downloaded from the manufacturer's website. Configuring some Samsung drives in this manner requires the temporary use of a SATA-2 (SATA 3.0 Gbit/s) controller while programming the drive.
but , there is no such things .....
I was talking about this jumper setting diagram which is on some of the hdd label
