The 3 jumper settings of the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive are: MA Configures the drive as a MASTER device SL Configures the drive as a SLAVE device CS Sets the drive for CABLE SELECT operation. Do not use this setting with an IBM or compatible PC. Use the SLAVE setting (default) if the drive is connected to the same cable as a hard disk drive. In general, Use the MASTER setting if the drive is the only device connected to an IDE controller. For example, if it is connected to the secondary IDE controller or a sound card.
