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."
The factory installed master/slave combination for multimedia configurations with an IDE
hard disk and a CD-ROM reader is "2 Masters." The hard disk is connected to the primary
IDE/PCI port and the CD-ROM reader is connected to the secondary IDE/PCI port as a
master. If an IDE hard disk is added to the primary IDE/PCI port, the combination becomes
"2 Masters, 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:
