Figure 4: Factory Settings for Mode Jumper at the Rear of the Drive
Changing to a Master, Slave, or Cable Select
The Master/Slave setting for the drive is determined by the mode jumper. To change

Cable Select, then
both
devices connected to that cable must be jumpered as Cable

NOTE
: For best results, set the
DVD PRO I
to be the Master, if possible. Also, direct
memory access (DMA) must be enabled in your computer’s operating system to
achieve the drive’s maximum writing speed. (This is a separate setting from the DMA
