Chapter 4: Installing Components

If cable-select is available (drive assignments will be marked on the cable), the IDE cable assigns the master/slave positions to the drives it connects. You can override these assignments using the jumpers on the drives.

If cable-select is not available and only one drive is attached to an IDE controller cable, configure the drive as master if it is a CD drive. If two drives of any type are attached to the cable, configure one as master and one as slave.

You may need to configure the drives you install using the BIOS Setup utility. Press F2 at startup to open the BIOS Setup utility.
