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 factory installed master/slave combination for configurations with an IDE hard disk
connected to the primary IDE/PCI port is "1 Master." If a second hard disk is added to the
primary IDE/PCI port, the combination becomes "1 Master, 1 Slave."
