■ If cable-select is available (drive assignments will be marked on the
cable), the IDE cable assigns the master/slave positions to the drives
it connects. You can override these assignments using the jumpers on
the drives.
■ If cable-select is not available and only one drive is attached to an IDE
controller cable, configure the drive as master if it is a CD drive. If
two drives of any type are attached to the cable, configure one as
master and one as slave.
■ You may need to configure the drives you install using the BIOS Setup
utility. Press F2 at startup to open the BIOS Setup utility.
