P/I-AP55T User’s Manual
Installing Additional IDE Devices
If you have space in your system case, you can install another ГОЕ
hard disk or other IDE device using the procedure on the previous
page. Install the drive in an empty drive bay and cormect the drive
to the unused middle connector of the ГОЕ ribbon cable. Note that a
second IDE device on a channel must be set to function as a "slave"
device, because the first ГОЕ device functions as the "master" device.
The device manual should tell you how to do this. Many ГОЕ devices
use jumpers to select this setting.
Once you have installed the device, you may need to use the BIOS
Setup Utility again to configure and record the presence of the sec­
ond device in the Standard CMOS Setup. The Primary channel is
shown as "Primary Master" and "Primary Slave", the Secondary
channel as "Secondary Master" and "Secondary Slave". If the device
you installed is not a hard disk drive, you should leave the Standard
CMOS Setup entry for its position set to "None".
See Chapter 3 for an explanation of how to use the hard disk auto­
detection feature to automatically detect the parameters of IDE hard
disks and other devices and enter them in the Standard CMOS Setup.
