Newer computers typically have two | IDE |
| ports, | each | of | which | can | support | two |
|
|
|
|
| ||||||||||||||||||
devices. | Typically, | the | primary | IDE | port | connects | to | your | hard | disk | drive, | and | the |
|
| |||||||||||||||||
other | IDE | port | is |
| the | secondary |
| port. | The | IDE | port | and | the | cable | position |
| that | you | ||||||||||||||
select |
| determine | which |
| configuration | jumper | setting | you | will | use | for | the | drive. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |||||||||||||
| If | you | have | two | IDE | ports, connect the | to | the | secondary |
| IDE | port | ||||||||||||||||||||
| on | your | system |
| board | (sometimes | called | the | motherboard) | or | IDE | adapter. | If | the |
|
| ||||||||||||||||
| only |
| device | on | the | secondary | IDE | port, | use | the | master |
|
|
| ||||||||||||||||||
| configuration | setting. | If | the | the | second | device |
| on | the |
|
|
|
|
|
| ||||||||||||||||
| secondary | port, |
|
| use | the | slave | configuration | setting. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |||||||||||
| If | you | must | attach | the | to | the | primary |
| IDE | port | (the |
| same | port |
| as | |||||||||||||||
| a | hard | disk | drive | or | other | fast |
| device), | use | the | slave | setting | for |
| the | ||||||||||||||||
| drive | and | the |
| master | setting | for |
| the | faster |
| device. | In some |
| instances, |
| you | might | ||||||||||||||
| need | to | change |
| the | hard | disk | drive | configuration |
| setting |
| to |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |||||||||
| when | attaching a slave device on | the | same | cable. |
| For |
|
|
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
| further | information |
| on | setting | configuration | jumpers | on | other | devices, | refer to |
| the |
|
|
| ||||||||||||||||
| documentation | that |
| comes | with |
| your | computer | or | with | the | device |
| in | question. |
