    Most brand new DVD-ROM drives come set as 'Slave'. So logically you would need to place the jumpers to the left.

    The middle jumpers are usually for Cable Select, which you could also use

    There should be 3 pin setting options running from left to right on the back of the unit:

    CS (cable select), SL (slave) & MA (master). My DVD ROM follows this sequence, but I don't know if this is the case with all units.

    However, the pin settings should be clearly marked on the rear of the unit to avoid any confusion.
