E-IDE (ATAPI) Connection Set Up

About IDE

IDE (Enhanced IDE/E-IDE) is one of the standards applied to the connection

between personal computers and their peripherals. A computer motherboard

provides two IDE connectors (primary and secondary). (Although, some

motherboards provide only a primary connector.) You may connect up to two

IDE devices (hard disk, CD-ROM, or CD-R drives) to the connectors using an

IDE cable. One of the devices connected via the IDE cable is called “master” and

the other is called “slave.”

Notes

• When you are using the IDE device as a master, connect the device to the connector of the

leading edge of the IDE cable, or you are using the device as a slave, connect the device to

the connector of the middle of the IDE cable.

• When you connect two IDE devices to one IDE cable, assign each as MASTER or SLAVE

respectively. The CRW2200E is shipped with the SLAVE setting.

Typical IDE-type hardware installation

When replacing an existing IDE-type drive to another Controller Port, you will

need to change the device settings (MASTER/SLAVE).

Note

For details on settings, refer to the documentation that came with the device or the

manufacturer’s Home Page.
