Which IDE Data

Connectors to Use

Before Installing an

IDE Hard Disk

There are three data cables inside your PC Workstation. Two of these are

for IDE devices.

•

The ATA IDE cable supports two IDE devices. This cable is connected

to the Primary IDE connector on the system board. The bootable hard

disk drive is connected to this cable via the MASTER connector. A

second hard disk drive could be installed by using the SLAVE connector.

•

A second IDE drive cable supports two IDE devices. If you install a CD-

ROM drive, a DVD drive or a Zip drive, connect it to this cable.

•

The third cable has one connector for a floppy drive.

The following table explains which data connectors you should use when

you install additional devices.
