attached devices, and remove the computer cover.

the proper settings. See “Step 3. Setting the configuration jumpers” on

cable to the IDE port and the connector at the other end to the device,
leaving the middle connector (if there is one) open.
If there are two devices on the IDE port, attach the connector at one end
of the cable to the IDE port. If there is a hard disk drive, attach it to the
connector at the other end of the cable, and attach the DVD-ROM drive
to the middle connector.
