Master,Slave,or Cable Select ?

I hold a new CD-RW drive I of late installed and it works great. The question I own does not apply to my computer since it is set up for cable select however I am curious. On the back of the drive between the IDE and the audio connector is another connector. It have a plastic cover you use to go over any the master, slave, or cable select. My question is what does it situation what it is set on as nothing connects to it. The just thing I can assume of is it is for a jumper connector to another drive if you hold one which I do not. Am I on the right track here or is it something different ?

Master,Slave,or Cable Select ?

well if its the leading drive you can have it on cable select or master and if its the ointment drive you can also have it on cable select or slave... next to cable select you have to own it in the top IDE plug to be master and the bottom IDE plug for slave
If you are running the drive directly to a drive connector on your motherboard, put the pullover on MASTER.
What you are looking at is the jumper. Your computer does not wish whether you have master, slave, or cable select, the drives themselves are where on earth you make that setting, and that is to say what the jumper is for.
