Master and Slave submenus

There are two ATA-44 internal connectors on the Matrox 4Sight-II motherboard,
specifically called the primary and secondary ATA-44 internal connectors.
Each of these internal connectors can support up to two IDE or ATAPI devices,
provided that one device is configured as Master and the other device as Slave.
This is done by setting the jumpers on the IDE/ATAPI device. Master and slave
configuration allows the ATA-44 connector to differentiate between each device
connected to it. Refer to your IDE/ATAPI device's user guide for the correct way
to set the jumpers.
The BIOS will assign each IDE/ATAPI device as being a primary master, primary
slave, secondary master, or secondary slave. This assignment is based on which
ATA-44 connector the device is connected to, as well as its master/slave
configuration. For example if a device is connected to the primary ATA-44
connector, and is manually configured as master, the BIOS will assign this drive
as being the primary master.
You will see how your device has been assigned by seeing its name next to one of
the submenu titles.
