OWNER'S HANDBOOK
Configuring the drive
Your computer can accommodate two E-IDE hard
disk drives, known as the master and slave drives. The
first drive, which contains the operating system, is
always configured as the master. The second drive
must be configured as the slave.
Hard disk drives are normally configured as master or
slave by using jumpers on the drive itself.
Configuration details vary from drive to drive. Most
drives are supplied with documentation describing
how to configure the drive. If you are uncertain about
configuring the drive consult your supplier.
