Master and Slave submenus
The Master and Slave submenus allow you to configure the ATA 44-pin connector
(called the primary connector) and the ATA 40-pin connector (called the
secondary connector) on the Matrox 4Sight-M motherboard.
Each of these internal connectors can support up to two IDE or ATAPI devices,
provided that one device is configured as Master and the other device as Slave.
This is done by setting the jumpers on the IDE/ATAPI device. Master and slave
configuration allows the connectors to differentiate between each device
connected to it. Refer to your IDE/ATAPI device’s user guide for the correct way
to set the jumpers.
The BIOS will assign each IDE/ATAPI device as being a primary master, primary
slave, secondary master, or secondary slave. This assignment is based on the
connector to which the device is connected, as well as its master/slave
configuration. For example, if a device is connected to the primary ATA 44-pin
connector, and is manually configured as master, the BIOS will assign this drive
as being the primary master.
You will see how your device has been assigned by seeing its name next to one of
the Master and Slave submenu titles.
Once you have your IDE/ATAPI devices connected to Matrox 4Sight-M, you can
configure them further using the following submenus:
• Primary Master submenu.
• Primary Slave submenu.
• Secondary Master submenu.
• Secondary Slave submenu.
The following items are available for all master and slave submenus:
•Type.
This item allows you to select the type of device that is connected to the specified
connector.
