ASUS DVD-E616P1 User Manual

Setting the Jumper Terminals

Configure the jumpers to set the device to master or slave mode before
physically installing it to your computer chassis. Use jumper blocks to short
the pins to your desired setting.

Make sure to correctly put the jumper blocks over the pins. Failure to do
so may cause irreparable damage to the drive!

Master Mode

Cover the two pins labeled MA (see illustration)
to set the DVD-ROM drive as a secondary
master drive. This is possible only if your
computer supports four IDE devices. The hard
disk in the computer is set as Primary Master.

Slave Mode

Cover the two pins labeled SL (see illustration) to
set the DVD-ROM drive as a slave device if your
computer supports only two IDE devices.

If your computer supports four IDE devices, this
setting sets your DVD-ROM drive either as a
Primary Slave or a Secondary Slave.

Cable Select Mode

Cover the two pins labeled CS (see illustration) if
your computer supports a Cable Select (CSEL)
signal. You need an exclusive interface cable for
this setting. Refer to your computer manual for
details.
