The secondary IDE channel is used to reference the other IDE channel apart from the primary one on a computer mainboard. While the primary IDE channel usually takes the system/first hard disk of the system, the secondary channel usually takes optical drives or the second hard drive.

Each IDE slot can handle two drives. One drive will be the master and the other will be the slave depending o the configuration. If the jumpers of one drive is configured to set the drive as MA (Master), the second must be configured to SL (Slave). Both drives may be configured as CS (Cable Select), if so, The positioning on the ribbon cable will determine whic one is the master and which is the slave

What is the function Primary and secondary IDE slots?
Primary and secondary IDE slots are interfaces on a computer motherboard used to connect storage devices such as hard drives and CD/DVD drives. The primary IDE slot typically connects the main hard drive, while the secondary IDE slot can accommodate additional drives. This division allows for the management of multiple drives, enabling the system to read from and write to them efficiently. In modern systems, IDE has largely been replaced by SATA, but these slots were crucial in earlier computing architectures.

If a single hard disk is attached on a primary IDE channel what should the jumper be set to?

Sata drives can a optical drive be master when its a ide?
An IDE Drive is not the same as a SATA drive, for starters. If you want your optical drive to be the master on an IDE channel you can jumper it to make it such. The second drive on the IDE channel must then be jumpered as a slave. If the optical drive is the only drive on the channel then it ought to be jumpered as the master. Alternatively, you may be able to set both drives to "Cable Select" and let the cable position determine the priority. This presumes that your ribbon cable is of a newer design and supports this option.
