A Parallel ATA drive controller can support up to two drives. A drive designated as the Master drive means that it is the primary drive on the controller. This is the drive that is usually used to contain the operating system for the computer. The slave drive is usually an additional drive in a computer used to storage additional data. A drive usually uses jumpers to tell the computer whether it is the master or slave. Jumpers are small plastic pieces that fit on metal pins on the back of a hard drive and completes a circuit. PATA controllers support up to 2 drives per cable. Most PATA drives contain a Cable Select jumper setting which means that if the drive is connected to the end of the cable, it is the Master. If it is placed in the middle of the cable, it is then designated the Slave.', OFFSETY, -50, FONTCOLOR, '#C1C1C1', WIDTH, 225, BORDERWIDTH, 0, JUMPVERT, true, SHADOW, false, FADEIN, 100, FADEOUT, 100, STICKY, 1, DURATION, -300, CLOSEBTN, false, CLICKCLOSE, true, BGCOLOR, '#232323')" onmouseout="UnTip()">Master, Slave
