If you are connecting two devices to the IDE cable, connect one end of the cable to the IDE port, and connect the master and slave devices to the remaining connectors on the other end. Many computers have two cables for attaching up to four ATA devices. For best performance, attach fast devices (hard disk drives) to the cable that is connected to the primary IDE port, and connect the drive or other slower devices (CD-ROM drives, tape drives, diskette drives) to the cable that is connected to the secondary IDE port.
