Use the following guidelines to determine the correct configuration for
your Zip IDE drive:
Slave
The Zip IDE drive comes set in the Slave configuration so that you
can install it as a second drive on an IDE connection when the first
drive is configured as a Master. However, the first drive might require
a configuration other than Master when you connect an additional
drive to the IDE interface cable. For example, many CD-ROM drives
will not support a Slave drive. If you connect the Zip IDE drive to
the same IDE interface cable as a CD-ROM drive, you might need to
configure the Zip IDE drive as the Master and the CD-ROM drive as
the Slave.
Refer to the documentation that came with your existing IDE drive to
verify the correct jumper settings for your drives.
Master
Configure the Zip IDE drive as a Master if you are installing the Zip
IDE Drive as the only drive on the IDE cable, or if the Zip IDE drive
will be one of two drives connected to the cable, and the other drive is
configured as a Slave. A Zip IDE drive that is configured as a Master
will support a drive that is configured as a Slave (a second Zip IDE
drive, an IDE hard disk drive, or a CD-ROM drive).
Cable Select
Note: The Cable Select configuration does not apply to IBM
computers. If you are using an IBM computer, disregard the
Cable Select information below.
Some systems use special ATA cables with two wires reversed in the
device connectors to allow the drives to be ordered by the cable rather
than by the jumper position. The Cable Select position is to be used
only for systems equipped with these special cables. See the
documentation that comes with your computer to determine if your
ATA adapter requires you to place the jumpers in the Cable Select
position.
If you do not have documentation, look at the IDE interface cable. On
a Cable Select system, there is an open connection on one of the wires
between the first and second drive connectors. However, if there are
no breaks or holes in the interface cable, it is probably not a Cable
Select system.
If you place the jumpers in the Cable Select position, the IDE cable
automatically assigns the master and slave settings based on the
position of the drive on the cable. You must use the Cable Select
setting whether the Zip IDE drive is the only drive or the second drive
connected to the cable. The drive closest to the IDE controller is
automatically the Master drive. Any other devices on the IDE cable
must also be set to Cable Select.
