optical drive). If you wish to connect two IDE devices, please set the jumper on one IDE device
as Master and the other as Slave (for information on settings, please refer to the instructions
located on the IDE device).
To ensure that an IDE CD-ROM drive can work properly, please attach it to the IDE 1 connector.
