4.Ready the hard disk and install wire jumpers.

To connect two hard disks to one IDE interface, make sure to designate one as the Master HDD and the other the Slave HDD. If only one hard disk is connected, make this the Master HDD. (For connection of the Master and Slave HDD, refer to the operating instructions of the hard disk.)

Pay attention to the following when choosing the connection position of the Master and Slave HDD.

(1)When connecting two hard disks to IDE port 1, make the one on the left the Master and the one on the right the Slave, as seen from the front of the recorder. See Fig. 3.

(2)When connecting three pairs of hard disks to IDE port 0, 2 and 3 (6 in total), make the top one the Master and the bot- tom one the Slave (see Figs. 3 and 5).
