2	Determining your computer’s configuration
2	Once you have located the IDE channels, determine the configuration of
	the IDE/ATAPI devices that are connected to your computer. Steps 2a
	through 2c show some possible ways that your computer might be
	configured.
2a	If the hard drive is the only IDE device connected...
	The hard drive is usually connected to the primary IDE channel. If the hard
	drive is the only IDE device connected, the secondary IDE channel will be

unused, as shown in the illustration below. With this configuration, connect the Zip drive to the secondary IDE channel as the master device. For instructions see the section entitled Installing the Zip drive as the only device on the secondary IDE channel on page 17 of this manual.
