This section includes steps for the following procedures: Setting the IDE device jumpers Installing a hard disk drive in the mounting bracket Replacing the mounting bracket in the computer Connecting the drive cables Setting the IDE Device Jumpers Before you install any IDE device, be sure to check its jumper settings. The jumpers indicate the master and slave configuration of devices connected to both of the IDE interfaces. If you have two hard disk drives, one must be configured as the master (which contains your operating system), and the other as the slave. A table in the "Information for Qualified Hard Disk Drives" section of Appendix A lists the master and slave jumper settings for some high-capacity, IDE hard disk drives. If your drive is not listed or you need more information, see the documentation that came with your drive or contact the manufacturer. If you are installing another type of IDE device, such as an IDE CD-ROM drive, check the documentation that came with the device for the master and slave jumper settings. You must connect these devices to the secondary IDE interface, as described in this chapter. Use theprimary interface to connect only IDE hard disk drives.

Replacing the mounting bracket in the computer
Connecting the drive cables
Setting the IDE Device Jumpers
Before you install any IDE device, be sure to check its jumper
settings. The jumpers indicate the master and slave
configuration of devices connected to both of the IDE
interfaces. If you have two hard disk drives, one must be
configured as the master (which contains your operating
system), and the other as the slave.
A table in the “Information for Qualified Hard Disk Drives”
section of Appendix A lists the master and slave jumper
settings for some high-capacity, IDE hard disk drives. If your
drive is not listed or you need more information, see the
documentation that came with your drive or contact the
manufacturer.
If you are installing another type of IDE device, such as an IDE
CD-ROM drive, check the documentation that came with the
device for the master and slave jumper settings. You
must
connect these devices to the secondary IDE interface, as described in
this chapter. Use theprimary interface to connect only IDE hard disk
drives.
