ONFIGURATION
Before installing the SSD, the drive must be configured to operate as either the Master
or Slave IDE device. The Master/Slave setting represents the ordering of electronic
devices on an IDE channel. If the Zeus SSD is the only ATA (IDE) drive installed in the
system, set up the drive as the master device. If two drives are installed in the machine,
one device must be configured as the master and the other as the slave. Jumpers located
at the rear of the Zeus SSD allow you to configure the drive as either the Master or the
Slave device.
