(Note: The drive usually comes with a jumper attached to one of the pairs of pins, 

thereby obstructing these two pins from view. The jumper may be removed by you and 

replaced onto the desired pair of pins.)

as MS (master), SL (slave) and CS (cable select).  On the graphic above, 

the jumper would be placed vertically on either the rightmost pair of pins 

in the group to set the drive to master, or on the center two pins in the 

group to set the drive to slave.

Step 11:  

If the MCE drive is being installed into Power Mac G4 with 

mirrored drive doors, then you must remove the faceplate from the drive 

to allow the driveʼs tray to fit through the computerʼs opening.  If not, 

you may skip this step.

Step 11 (a):  

To manually eject the driveʼs tray, 

stick a straightened paperclip through the driveʼs 

manual eject hole until the tray ejects slightly.  

Pull the tray out several inches.

Step 11 (b):  

With the ejected tray 

facing you, use both hands to remove 

the bezel of the driveʼs tray by us-

ing your index fingers to carefully but 

firmly push the bottom of the bezel 

towards you.  The bezel should 

move out and up slightly as 

it is released from its inner 

latches.

Step 11 (c):  

You can then simply slide the bezel up and remove it from 

the drive.  Push the driveʼs tray back into the drive.
