Select an IDE Configuration
Set the PX-820A’s jumper and cable it according to the desired
configuration. Keep these rules in mind:
•
For best DVD±RW and CD-RW performance, try to connect the
PX-820A to the IDE port that is not connected to the hard disk drive
or to a DVD or CD-ROM drive. In most cases, this will be the
secondary IDE port.
•
For best results, set the PX-820A to be the Master, if possible.
•
If you have only one device on a cable, always set its jumper as the
Master, never as the Slave.
