You should change the default settings only if you are connecting an
additional IDE drive to one of the two IDE connectors.
The maximum transfer rate of two IDE drives connected to the same
connector is determined by the slower of the two. Fast hard disks
should therefore be connected to the first IDE connector and identified
as
Hard Disk 1
or
Hard Disk 2
; slower hard disks or other IDE drives
(e.g. CD ROM drives) should be connected to the second IDE
connector and identified as
Hard Disk 3
or
Hard Disk 4
.
The following description of the setting options for
Hard Disk 1
also applies to
Hard
Disk 2
,
Hard Disk 3
and
Hard Disk 4
. The default settings depend on the installed
drive.
