DETERMINE YOUR EXISTING IDE CONFIGURATION
With your computer open, determine the existing IDE configuration. You can do this by looking at
the 40-pin IDE ribbon cable (or cables—there may be two) and seeing what is connected to them.
One end of the IDE cable is connected to a port on the computer's motherboard; and the other end
is connected to one or two peripheral devices (such as a hard drive or CD-ROM drive). If there are
two devices, one is considered the master and one is the slave. If there are two IDE ports, one is for
the primary IDE bus and one is for the secondary bus.
A typical drive's IDE configuration is usually one of the following:
Hard drive connected as master and slave devices on primary IDE port; CD-ROM drive connected
•
as master device on secondary IDE port.
Hard drive connected as master device and CD-ROM drive connected as slave on the primary IDE
•
port; nothing connected to secondary IDE port.
• Hard drive connected as master device on primary IDE port; nothing connected to secondary IDE port.
SELECT AN IDE CONFIGURATION
Set the jumper according to the desired configuration, as shown in this table and illustrations.

How to Install the veloCD ReWriter
Connect the veloCD ReWriter as master device to the
secondary IDE port. Remove the CD-ROM drive, change it
to slave, and connect it to the secondary IDE port.
NOTE: With this configuration, it is very difficult to write
from the CD-ROM to the veloCD ReWriter using "on-the-fly"
copying. Use the image writing method for best results.
Connect the veloCD ReWriter as master to secondary IDE port.

NOTE: For best performance, connect the veloCD
to the IDE port that is not connected to the hard
drive or to a CD-ROM drive. In most cases, connect
the veloCD to the secondary IDE port as a master.
NOTE: For best results, set the veloCD to be the
master, if possible. Enable DMA settings on
your system to achieve maximum writing speed.
