Make sure the drive that you are installing is set correctly as either a master or a
slave device.
•
If it is the first CD drive or DVD drive, set as a master device.
•
If it is an additional CD drive or DVD drive, set as a slave device.
•
If it is a hard disk drive, set as a slave device.
Refer to the documentation that comes with your drive for master/slave jumper
information.
Install the drive into the bay. Align the screw holes, and insert the two screws.
Each integrated drive electronics (IDE) drive requires two cables; a four-wire
power cable that connects to the power supply and a signal cable that connects to
the system board. You might also have an audio cable to connect.
