All EIDE devices should be configured for the Cable Select jumper position, which
assigns master and slave status to devices by their position on the interface cable.
When two EIDE devices are connected to a single EIDE interface cable and are con-

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). Refer to the
drive documentation in your upgrade kit for information on setting devices to the
Cable Select jumper position.

NOTE: If you want to install a second EIDE drive that is a different type from the first
drive but you do not have the specifications for the first drive, do one of the following:

If you purchased the drive from Dell, you can contact Dell for the necessary
reconfiguration information. (See the chapter titled “Getting Help” in the Diag-

With the two EIDE interface connectors on the system board, your system can sup-
port up to four EIDE devices.

NOTE: EIDE hard-disk drives should be connected to the EIDE interface connector
labeled “IDE1.” (EIDE tape drives and CD-ROM drives should be connected to the
EIDE interface connector labeled “IDE2.”)
