NOTE: If your computer only allows you to connect a maximum of two devices and you
have two hard disks, remove the Slave hard disk — you need the other IDE connector for
your DVD-ROM Drive. If you only have one hard disk, set your DVD-ROM Drive as
Slave. If your computer has two IDE connectors and two hard disks installed, either set
your DVD-ROM Drive as Master on the secondary IDE connector or remove the Slave
hard disk and replace it with your DVD-ROM Drive. Refer to your computer’s manual for
the system configuration and instructions on hardware installation.
