IDE Drive Addressing
When you connect two IDE devices to a single IDE interface cable and configure them for the cable select setting, the device
attached to the last connector on the interface cable is the master or boot device (drive 0), and the device attached to the
middle connector on the interface cable is the slave device (drive 1). See the drive documentation in your upgrade kit for
information on configuring devices for the cable select setting.
Your computer supports up to two IDE devices. Connect hard drives to the connector labeled IDE1, and connect CD/DVD
drives to the connector labeled IDE2.
