There are four jumpers to the left of the 40-pin IDE Interface. The jumper that is the closest to the IDE Connector is Jumper 4. When Jumper 4 is jumped, the Device is set to Master. When the jumper is unjumped, the Device is set to Slave. The jumper to the left of Jumper 4 is Jumper 3. When only Jumper 3 is jumped, the Device is set to Cable Select. I recommend that the Travan 40 IDE Tape Drive be set as the Master. If there is a CDROM drive, it would then be set as Slave. Please Note: In the BIOS of the Computer, the Drive Configuration Setting must be enabled that allows the CDROM and the Travan40 tape drive to be properly detected. You may need to change this setting to Auto for the appropriate IDE channels. Also the Boot Order may need to be the following in order to avoid any error messages: Cerc IDE Drive SATA Drive CDROM Floppy

All newer IDE/EIDE hard drives can be jumpered as Cable Select (CS or CSEL). This is an alternate way to indicate which drive is master and which drive is slave (instead of jumpering one drive as master and one drive as slave). Cable Select jumpering requires a special IDE cable with wire 28 not connected to one of the drive connectors, which would configure the drive attached to that connector as the slave drive. Cable Select jumpering is not widely used now, but may become more common as things move more towards Plug and Play, as this is part of the ATA PnP standard and Microsoft's PC97 standard. The idea is that drives can be installed easily without having to change jumpers on two drives anytime a drive is installed or removed. Cable Select is defined in the ATA-2 and ATA-3 specifications. In order to use Cable Select jumpering, several conditions must be met. Both drives on a channel must support CSEL, both drives must be jumpered as CSEL, a CSEL cable must be used, and the ho...
