INSTALLATION
Host I terface Co ectio s
Most current mainboards have two IDE ports (primary and secondary),
which can connect two IDE cables. Two IDE cables allow you to connect
up to four devices, but it is recommended that you separate IDE ports for
your hard drive and this writer. This will ensure that your hard drive’s
performance and speed won’t be affected by having the writer on the same
cable.
If you connect only one device on the cable, you can set the jumper as
“MASTER” or “SLA E”.
If you connect two devices (e.g. CD-ROM & CD-RW) on the same cable,
set different jumpers for each device (CD-ROM as “MASTER”, CD-RW as
“SLA E”, and vice versa.) The same rule applies to the connection of
having your hard disk and another device on the same cable.
