Setting System Parameters 2-9
IDE Adapters
IDE adapters control the IDE devices, such as IDE hard
disk drives and IDE CD-ROM readers, in your system.
Your system uses two IDE controllers integrated on the
system board.
Setup supports up to four IDE devices, with an IDE adapter
for each of the following configurations:
1 Master
1 Master, 1 Slave
2 Masters
2 Masters, 1 Slave
2 Masters, 2 Slaves
The master/slave combination for standard hard disk
configurations is “1 Master.” If you add a hard disk to the
fast IDE port (IDE1 connector), the combination becomes
“1 Master, 1 Slave.”
The master/slave combination for configurations with an
IDE hard disk and a CD-ROM reader is “2 Masters.” If
you add a hard disk to the fast IDE port (IDE1 connector),
the combination becomes “2 Masters, 1 Slave.”
Jumper settings on the IDE device set the device to master
or slave (see the documentation that comes with the device).
Select the IDE Adapter option configuration directly from
the Main Menu summary window. Available options are:
■ IDE Adapter 0 Master
■ IDE Adapter 0 Slave
■ IDE Adapter 1 Master
■ IDE Adapter 1 Slave
IDE Adapter 0 configures the fast IDE port (IDE1
connector), IDE Adapter 1 configures the standard IDE
port (IDE2 connector).
