Chapter 3: Configuring the New Drive
Configuring the new IDE drive
If your new drive is a SCSI drive, go to "Configuring the new SCSI drive" on
page 14.
If your new drive is a Serial ATA drive, go to "Configuring the new Serial ATA
drive" on page 19.
Your system board may contain as many as three controllers (where the wide
ribbon cables attach to the main system board or a host adapter add-in card).
One controller is for the diskette drive. Two are for IDE drives. One of the IDE
controllers is the primary controller and the other is the secondary controller.
Each IDE controller can contain two devices, a master device and a slave device.
