configurations:
1 Master
1 Master, 1 Slave
2 Masters
2 Masters, 1 Slave
2 Masters, 2 Slaves
The factory installed master/slave combination for configurations with an IDE hard disk
connected to the primary IDE/PCI port is “1 Master.” If a second hard disk is added to the
primary IDE/PCI port, the combination becomes “1 Master, 1 Slave.”
The factory installed master/slave combination for multimedia configurations with an IDE
hard disk and a CD-ROM reader is “2 Masters.” The hard disk is connected to the primary
IDE/PCI port and the CD-ROM reader is connected to the secondary IDE/PCI port as a
master. If an IDE hard disk is added to the primary IDE/PCI port, the combination becomes
“2 Masters, 1 Slave.”
