Installing An Additional Ide Cd-Rom Drive - HP E30 User Manual

Chapter 5
•
If you want the device to be the master device on this cable, set the jumper
to "MA". No matter what connector on the cable the device is connected to,
it will function as the IDE master device.
•
Likewise, if you want the device to be the slave device on the cable, set the
jumper to "SL". No matter what connector on the cable the device is
connected to, it will function as the IDE slave device.
IDE Cabling
There is one IDE cable supplied with your HP NetServer. It plugs into the
connector on the system board labeled "Secondary IDE Channel"(the lower
connector). There are two device connectors on the cable. The first device
connector is connected to the preinstalled IDE CD-ROM drive. The second device
connector can be used for an additional IDE CD-ROM drive. Whichever device is
connected to the first device connector (not at the end of the cable) is the "master",
and the device connected to the second device connector (at the end of the cable)
is the "slave."
NOTE Do not connect an IDE hard disk to the same cable that is
connected to the preinstalled CD-ROM drive. This may result
in degraded performance of the hard disk.
If you want to install an IDE hard disk, you will need to purchase an extra IDE
cable and connect it to the connector on the system board labeled "Primary IDE
Channel" (the upper connector). Connect the first device connector on the cable
(not the connector at the end of the cable) to the hard disk drive.
