Master and Slave submenus

The Master and Slave submenus allow you to configure the ATA 44-pin connector (called the primary connector) and the ATA 40-pin connector (called the secondary connector) on the Matrox 4Sight-M motherboard.

Each of these internal connectors can support up to two IDE or ATAPI devices, provided that one device is configured as Master and the other device as Slave. This is done by setting the jumpers on the IDE/ATAPI device. Master and slave configuration allows the connectors to differentiate between each device connected to it. Refer to your IDE/ATAPI device’s user guide for the correct way to set the jumpers.

The BIOS will assign each IDE/ATAPI device as being a primary master, primary slave, secondary master, or secondary slave. This assignment is based on the connector to which the device is connected, as well as its master/slave configuration. For example, if a device is connected to the primary ATA 44-pin connector, and is manually configured as master, the BIOS will assign this drive as being the primary master.

You will see how your device has been assigned by seeing its name next to one of the Master and Slave submenu titles.

Once you have your IDE/ATAPI devices connected to Matrox 4Sight-M, you can configure them further using the following submenus:

Primary Master submenu.

Primary Slave submenu.

Secondary Master submenu.

Secondary Slave submenu.

The following items are available for all master and slave submenus:

Type.

This item allows you to select the type of device that is connected to the specified connector.
