Master

A setting commonly adjusted using a jumper found on a computer peripheral, such as a hard disk drive or CD-ROM drive. This setting sets the drive to be the primary drive and allows for multiple devices to be connected to a single connection. Computers can only have one master per channel, this means there can only be one master drive on a single IDE/EIDE cable.
  • See document CH000695 for additional information about having more than four IDE devices connected to a computer.
  • Additional information about having multiple master drives can be found on document CH000862.
