Your CD-ROM drive is shipped with the “￿￿” jumper capped, In spite of this, note from Figure A-3 that capping the “￿￿” jumper is optional for the slave mode.

To set your CD-ROM drive as a master device, simply remove the cap from the “￿￿” jumper and place it over the “￿￿” jumper.

Note: 1. The “MA” and “SL” jumpers cannot be both capped at the same time.

2.A system halt will occur if the “MA” or “SL” jumper is set in conflict with the other device connected to the same IDE port. An IDE port cannot contain two master devices or two slave devices at any moment of time.
