supports two IDE devices that make a total of six devices. In order to work together, the two devices on each channel must be
set differently to

Slave
mode. Either one can be the hard disk or the CDROM. The setting as master or slave mode
depends on the jumper on your IDE device, so please refer to your hard disk and CDROM manual accordingly.
