Attach your tape drive to the secondary IDE
port.
Are any other devices attached to your secondary IDE
port?
• If no other devices are attached to your secondary
IDE port, use a new 40-pin IDE cable to attach the
tape drive to the secondary IDE port, as shown at
left. The tape drive must be configured as “master.”
• If you already have a CD-ROM or other device
attached to your secondary IDE port, attach the tape
drive to the middle connector on the IDE cable, as
shown in the illustration at lower left.
