Knowing Your CD-ROM Drive 1-6

CD Audio Connector

The CD Audio Connector allows you to direct audio output from your
CD-ROM drive to your audio card when it is connected using a CD
audio cable.

Master/Slave Jumper

The Master/Slave Jumper (see Figure 1-6) allows you to set your drive
as the Master or Slave drive. When you connect more than one drive,
you must set your drive to be either a Master or Slave drive (see the
section “Connecting Additional Drives” in Chapter 4). The jumper
labeled CS is reserved and should not be used.

IDE CD-ROM Data Connector

The IDE CD-ROM Data Connector allows data transfer between your
CD-ROM drive and various devices when connected using a data
cable. These devices include your audio card (with an IDE interface),
IDE CD-ROM interface card, and hard disk controller card.

Power-in Connector

The Power-in Connector allows electrical power to be directed from
your PC to the drive when connected using a power cable.
