DVD±R/RW WriterINSTALLATIONHost Interface ConnectionsMost current mainboards have two IDE ports (primary and secondary),which can connect two IDE cables. Two IDE cables allow you to connectup to four devices, but it is recommended that you separate IDE ports foryour hard drive and this writer. This will ensure that your hard drive’sperformance and speed won’t be affected by having the writer on the samecable.If you connect only one device on the cable, you can set the jumper as“MASTER” or “SLAVE”.If you connect two devices (e.g. CD-ROM & CD-RW) on the same cable,set different jumpers for each device (CD-ROM as “MASTER”, CD-RW as“SLAVE”, and vice versa.) The same rule applies to the connection ofhaving your hard disk and another device on the same cable.MasterCable SelectSlaveJumper3
