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.
