If

you

place

the

jumper

in

the

cable-select

position,

the

IDE

cable

automatically

assigns

the

master

and

slave

settings

based

on

the

position

of

the

drive

on

the

cable.

You

must

use

the

cable-select

setting

for

this

cabling

system

whether

the

drive

is

the

only

device

or

the

second

device

connected

to

the

cable.

The

drive

closest

to

the

IDE

controller

is

automatically

the

master

drive.

Any

other

devices

on

the

IDE

cable

must

also

be

set

to

cable-select.

Step

4.

Mounting

the

drive

in

the

bay

Attention

Be

sure

to

use

the

M3

x

5-mm

mounting

screws

in

the

option

package

when

securing

screws

directly

into

the

drive.

Using

screws

that

are

too

long

might

damage

the

drive.

You

can

mount

the

drive

horizontally

or

vertically

in

the

computer.

If

you

mount

the

drive

vertically,

you

must

secure

any

discs

that

you

place

into

the

drive

before

the

drive

tray

is

closed,

or

the

drive

will

not

be

able

to

read

the

disc

properly.

1.

Slide

the

drive

into

the

bay.

Your

computer

might

have

required

procedures

for

installing

storage

devices.

For

more

information

on

storage

devices,

refer

to

the

documentation

that

comes

with

your

computer.

2.

Align

the

drive-bay

screw

holes

with

the

threaded

holes

in

the

drive

housing

or

mounting

bracket.

3.

Thread

the

screws

in

loosely

to

check

their

position.

Two

screws

are

usually

used

on

each

side.

Verify

that

the

alignment

is

correct;

then

tighten

the

screws

to

secure

the

drive.

Do

not

overtighten.

Step

5.

Attaching

the

cables

to

the

drive

The

following

diagram

shows

where

to

connect

the

cables

to

the

drive.

1.

Attach

a

40-pin

IDE-cable

connector

1 to

the

IDE

connector

on

the

drive.

Align

the

cable

so

that

the

color-coded

edge

is

closest

to

the

power

cable

connector

2 .

Use

the

80-conductor

high

speed

IDE

cable

that

is

provided

with

this

option

if

there

is

no

cable

attached

to

the

IDE

port,

if

there

is

only

one

device

connector

on

the

computer

IDE

cable,

or

if

the

existing

cable

in

your

computer

is

a

low-speed

40-conductor

type.

The

IDE

cable

can

have

up

to

three

connectors.

For

the

best

signal

quality

when

you

are

connecting

only

one

device

to

the

IDE

cable,

connect

one

end

of

the

cable

to

the

IDE

port,

and

connect

the

other

end

of

the

cable

to

the

device.

Do

not

use

the

middle

connector.

If

you

are

connecting

two

devices

to

the

IDE

cable,

connect

one

end

of

the

cable

to

the

IDE

port,

and

connect

the

master

and

slave

devices

to

the

remaining

connectors

on

the

other

end.

Many

computers

have

two

cables

for

attaching

up

to

four

ATA

devices.

For

best

performance,

attach

fast

devices

(hard

disk

drives)

to

the

cable

that

is

connected

to

the

primary

IDE

port,

and

connect

the

drive

or

other

slower

devices

(CD-ROM

drives,

tape

drives,

diskette

drives)

to

the

cable

that

is

connected

to

the

secondary

IDE

port.

2.

Attach

a

four-pin

power

cable

2 to

the

power

connector

on

the

drive.

Be

sure

that

the

cables

will

not

be

pinched

or

crowded

by

the

computer

cover

and

that

all

other

cable

and

power

connections

are

secure.
