INSTALLATION
Host Interface Connections
Most current mainboard models have two IDE ports (primary and
secondary) which can connect two IDE cables. Two IDE cables
allow you to connect up to four devices, but it is recommended that
you separate IDE ports for your hard drive and your CD-ReWritable
drive. This will ensure that your hard drive’s performance and speed
won’t be affected by having the CD-RW drive on the same cable.
If you connect only one device on the cable, you can set the jumper
as “master” or “slave”.
If you connect two devices (e.g. CD-ROM & CD-RW) on the same
cable, set different jumper for each device (CD-ROM as “master”,
CD-RW as “slave” and vice versa.) The same rule goes for the
connection of having your hard disk and one other device on the
same cable.
