COMBO DRIVE

INSTALLATION
Host Interface Connections
Most current mainboard models have two IDE ports (primary and
secondary) which can connect two IDE cables. Two IDE cables allow
you to connect up to four devices, but it is recommended that you
separate IDE ports for your hard drive and your Combo drive. This will
ensure that your hard drive’s performance and speed won’t be affected
by having the Combo Drive on the same cable.
Jumper Setting
On the rear panel of the Combo Drive, you will find three pairs of
jumpers: CS (CSEL), SL (Slave) and MA (Master). Use the jumper cap
to set the device to CS, SL or MA mode corresponding to your PC
configuration. If you connect only one device on the IDE cable, you can
set the jumper as “Master” or “Slave”.
If you connect two devices on the same cable, set different jumper for
each device (one as “Master”, and the other one as “Slave”). The same
rule applies to the connection of having your hard disk and one other
device on the same cable.
