EIDE Device Installation Guidelines

Jumper Settings
All EIDE drives should be configured for the Cable Select jumper position,
which assigns master and slave status to drives by their position on the
interface cable. When two EIDE drives are connected to a single EIDE
interface cable and are configured for the Cable Select jumper position, the
drive attached to the last connector on the interface cable is the master, or
boot device (drive 0), and the device attached to the middle connector on
the interface cable is the slave device (drive 1). Refer to the documentation
in your drive upgrade kit for information on setting devices to the Cable
Select jumper position.
General Guidelines
With the two EIDE interface connectors on the system board, your system
can support up to four EIDE drives:
• The primary EIDE system-board connector should be cabled to EIDE
hard drives
• The secondary EIDE connector should be cabled to EIDE CD, DVD,
tape, LS-120, and Zip drives
NOTE: An LS-120 drive is typically installed as the master device on the
secondary EIDE system-board connector.
