2.3 Installing the Hard Disk Drive/Optical Device

BeforeInstallingtheIDE Devices:

1.For the ease of installation, we strongly recommend you install the hard drives first on IDE1, followed by the installation of the optical device on IDE2.

2.Installation of a hard disk and an optical device on one IDE slot/cable is not recommended since it will reduce system performance.

3.When installing two IDE devices on one IDE slot/cable, set one of the two IDE devices (usually the booting hard drive) to MASTER and the other SLAVE(usually a second hard drive or

CD/DVD-Rom/RW). The documentations of the IDE devices usually details how to use jumpers or switches to swap the devices between MASTER and SLAVE modes.

ConnectingIDE1/ PrimaryIDE Slot

The booting hard drive must always be attached to IDE1.

ConnectingIDE2/ SecondaryIDESlot

The second drive (usually a CD/DVD-ROM/RW) on this controller must be set to slave mode. The installation process is the same as that of IDE1.
