About IDE
IDE (Enhanced IDE/E-IDE) is one of the standards applied to the connection
between personal computers and their peripherals. A computer motherboard
provides two IDE connectors (primary and secondary). (Although, some
motherboards provide only a primary connector.) You may connect up to two
IDE devices (hard disk, CD-ROM, or CD-R drives) to the connectors using an
IDE cable. One of the devices connected via the IDE cable is called “master” and
the other is called “slave.”
Notes
When you are using the IDE device as a master, connect the device to the connector of the
leading edge ofthe IDE cable, or you are using the device as a slave, connect thedevice to
the connector of the middle of the IDE cable.
Whenyou connecttwo IDE devices to one IDE cable, assign each asMASTER or SLAVE
respectively. The CRW2200E is shipped with the SLAVE setting.
Typical IDE-type hardware installation
When replacing an existing IDE-type drive to another Controller Port, you will
need to change the device settings (MASTER/SLAVE).
Note
For details on settings, refer to the documentation that came with the device or the
manufacturer’s Home Page.
