Preparing the Device
Before installing a storage device in the system, follow any preinstallation instructions that
come with the device. For example, check the following information:
Diskette drive
remove any termination on the optional diskette drive. See the
documentation that comes with the drive.
IDE device
check the jumper settings on the device before installing it. See the
documentation that comes with the device for jumper setting information.
Each IDE device in the system must be set correctly as the first (master) or
second (slave) device on the IDE channel.
In systems with an IDE hard disk drive, the drive is set as the master device on the
primary IDE connector. If the system also has a second IDE device such as a
CD-ROM reader, a Zip drive, or Tape backup unit, set that device as the master
device on the secondary IDE connector.
The following table details recommended IDE device configurations.
