7) IDE (IDE Connector)

The IDE connector supports up to two IDE devices such as hard drives and optical drives. Before attach-

ing the IDE cable, locate the foolproof groove on the connector. If you wish to connect two IDE devices,

remember to set the jumpers and the cabling according to the role of the IDE devices (for example,

master or slave). (For information about conguring master/slave settings for the IDE devices, read the

instructions from the device manufacturers.)
