IDE adapters control the IDE devices, such as IDE hard
disk drives and IDE CD-ROM readers, in your system.
Your system uses two IDE controllers integrated on the
system board.
Setup supports up to four IDE devices, with the following
possible 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 you add 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).
In the PowerMate VP multimedia system the IDE hard
disk and CD-ROM reader are both "Masters." The hard
disk drive is the "Master" on the primary connector and
the CR-ROM reader is the "Master" on the secondary con-
nector. If you add an IDE hard disk to the system, the
combination becomes "2 Masters, 1 Slave."
