IDE Adapters

IDE adapters control the IDE devices, such as IDE hard disk drives and IDE CD-ROM
readers, in the system. The system uses two IDE controllers integrated on the system board.
Setup supports up to four IDE devices, with an IDE adapter for each of the following
configurations:
1 Master
1 Master, 1 Slave
2 Masters
2 Masters, 1 Slave
2 Masters, 2 Slaves
The master/slave combination for configurations with an IDE hard disk is "1 Master." If
adding a hard disk to the primary IDE port, the combination becomes "1 Master, 1 Slave."
Jumper settings on the IDE device set the device to master or slave (see the documentation
that comes with the device).
Select the IDE Adapter option configuration directly from the Main Menu summary
window. Available options include:
n
IDE Adapter 0 Master
n
IDE Adapter 0 Slave
n
IDE Adapter 1 Master
n
IDE Adapter 1 Slave
IDE Adapter 0 configures the primary IDE port, and IDE Adapter 1 configures the
secondary IDE port.
Each IDE Adapter parameter has a right-pointing arrow to the left of it. Selecting the
option displays IDE hard disk parameters. Select an IDE Adapter option and set parameters
for each hard disk separately.
