You can override these assignments using the jumpers on the drives. ■ If cable-select is not available and only one drive is attached to an IDE controller cable, configure the drive as master if it is a CD or DVD drive. If two drives of any type are attached to the cable, configure one as master and one as slave. ■ You may need to configure the drives you install using the BIOS Setup utility. Press F2 at startup to open the BIOS Setup utility.
