40 Storage devices
Preparing the device
Before you install a storage device in your computer, follow any
preinstallation instructions that come with the device.
For example:
Diskette drive — remove any termination on an optional
diskette drive. See the documentation that comes with the
drive.
IDE device — check the jumper settings on an IDE device
before you install it. See the documentation that comes with
the device for jumper setting information.
If you have an IDE device, you need to know which of the two IDE
connectors, primary or secondary, you are going to use to add your
device. Here’s some information about the IDE connection:
An IDE device, such as an IDE hard disk or IDE CD-ROM
reader, must be set correctly as the first (master) or second
(slave) device on the primary or secondary IDE connector on
the system board.
One master device and one slave device are supported on the
primary IDE connector, and one master and one slave device
are supported on the secondary IDE connector.
The IDE hard disk that comes with your system is set as the master
device on the high-speed primary IDE connector. The CD-ROM
reader that comes with your system is set as the master device on the
secondary IDE connector. Any optional IDE device that you install
must be set as the slave device on the primary or secondary IDE
connector.
See “IDE cables” in the next section for more information about IDE
connections.
