INSTALLING THE DRIVE
Connecting the IDE cable
Most PC systems can connect up to 4 devices on the IDE ports. Your PC should consist
of a “Primary IDE Bus” and a “Secondary IDE Bus” each of which can have two
devices connected to it - a “Master device” and a “Slave device” Refer Figure 2
In most PC systems, the hard disk drive is set as the “Master Device” on the “Primary
IDE Bus”, this should not be altered.
If available it is recommended that you connect the CD-ROM drive as the “Master
Device” on the “Secondary IDE Bus”.
The CD-ROM drive can also be set as the “Slave Device” on either bus if both of the
“Master Device” possibilities have been taken by other devices. Some devices such as
CD writers and DVD drives may be required to be set as the “Master Device”, in this
case it is OK to set the CD-ROM drive as the “Slave Device”.
