Seagate Travan 40GB User Guide 9
If your computer has only one IDE port:
• If your computer has only a single IDE port,
as shown in Figure 3, it is probably being
used by the hard disc drive. You should not
attach your tape drive to an IDE port that is
being used by a hard disc or a sound card.
In this situation, before you can install the
tape drive, you must purchase an ATAPI host
adapter that provides a second IDE port. You
will also need a second IDE cable for the
tape drive. After installing the host adapter,
set the master/slave jumpers as described on
page 10.
