Most current PCs come with two IDE channels--primary and secondary--built into the motherboard. Each channel supports two IDE devices on a single cable: a master and a slave. Hard drives should always be on the primary channel, and ATAPI devices (if any) should be on the secondary channel.<BR /><BR />Dries Wed, 22 Aug 2001 08:14:10 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/optical-jukeboxes-and-drives/best-configuration/m-p/2568145#M3438 Dries Bertier 2001-08-22T08:14:10Z
