8X DDS DVD± R/RW Drive

INSTALLATION

Host Interface Connections

Most current motherboard models have two IDE ports (primary and secondary), which can connect two IDE cables. Two IDE cables allow you to connect up to four devices, but it is recommended that you separate IDE ports for your hard disk and your Dual Digital Storage Drive. This will ensure that your hard disk’s performance and speed won’t be affected by having the drive on the same cable.

Jumper Setting

On the rear panel of this drive, you will find three pairs of jumpers: CS (CSEL), SL (Slave) and MA (Master). Use the jumper cap to set the device to CS, SL or MA mode corresponding to your PC configuration. If you connect only one device on the IDE cable, you can set the jumper as “MASTER” or “SLAVE”.

Cable Select

If you connect two devices on the same cable, set different jumper for each device (one as “MASTER”, and the other one as “SLAVE”). The same rule applies to the connection of having your hard disk and another device on the same cable.
