Installing your Philips CD Rewriter Drive
MASTER/SLAVE settings
Before you install your new Philips CD Rewriter in your computer, you must first make the
MASTER/SLAVE setting.
This setting is set by inserting a jumper pin in the jumper switch located on the rear panel of
the Philips CD Rewriter drive.
Important! When the unit is shipped from the factory, this setting is in the MASTER
position.
Note;
Use long-nose pliers to remove or insert the jumper pin.

Enhanced IDE compatible computers normally have two IDE interface connectors; a
primary one and a secondary one.
Each IDE interface connector of the host computer allows up to two IDE devices to be
connected. This means that a total of up to four IDE devices can be connected.
Normally, a hard disk is connected to the primary connector, and a CDROM drive is
connected to the secondary connector.
Important:
Avoid connecting your Philips CD Rewriter or a CD-ROM drive to the same
primary connector as the hard disk drive.
In order to take full advantage of the system’s performance, we recommend that
you connect your Philips CD Rewriter to the secondary connector by itself as the
MASTER.
Make sure that any other drives that are connected to the same cable have their
jumper settings set to SLAVE. Verify each respective drive’s owner’s manual for
instructions on jumper settings.
