Installation Before an ATAPI CD-ROM can be connected to an IDE or EIDE interface, it must be configured as „Master“ or „Slave“. This is done by setting the jumpers at the back of the unit.

Unfortunately these are often not 100%-compatible with the ATAPI standard, even though this involves an EIDE controller. In such cases you should deactivate the secondary port on the cache controller card and install an additional secondary port to connect the CD-ROM.
