A MASTER OR A SLAVE				A
DEVICE?
Before sliding	your CD-ROM	drive into the	5.25” drive
bay, you have to decide whether the drive			is	going to
be a master or slave device by adjusting the				and
jumpers on its	back. This	appendix presents		some
basic concepts	of IDE connections to help		you make the
decision and describes the		way to set the	jumpers.

A.1 IDE Connections

When you open your PC box, most likely you will see a wide ribbon cable with two 40-pin connectors stemming from a connector seat on the mother board; each of the connectors may or may not have been connected to a peripheral device. Such a cable is called an IDE cable and the connector seat an IDE port, The functionality of the cable and port is determined by an “IDE controller”, either built-in on your motherboard or in the form of an add-on card. This whole set of things acts as a data bridge between your CPU and devices that are designed for use with the IDE standards.
