Jumpers are little pins that are used to set up components like the modem, sound cards, and 
hard drives. The pins are used to set the components up as either the master, slave, or cable select. For example the hard drive of my computer is set to Master because this is the only external drive that is set up on my computer. But if I were to buy an secondary hard drive I would set that to slave because it will be used as the secondary external drive. Jumper are very easy to install they just slide right in place on the position Mater, slave or cable select just like the picture above.

Adding multiple optical drives to a computer is very easy and very affordable. Depending on your computer you will have to consider whether you wish to record your own CDs or DVDs. Some of the common optical drives that are out there are: CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-RW, and Blu-ray drives. Once you figure out what optical drive will best fits your needs you can now install it.
1) Make sure the computer is off and power cable is not plug-in the wall outlet.
2) Remove all the screws and slide the side panel off the case.
3) Remove your new optical drive from the box and turn it to the back side.
4) You need to check the jumper settings, to make sure it is set in either master, slave, or cable select on the IDE channel.
5) Slide the drive through the front of the case and secure it with screws on the inside.
6) Connect the IDE ribbon, the power cable, and any other cables to the drive and motherboard.
7) Leave the side panel off and plug the computer into the wall outlet and turn on the computer on.
8.) If everything is attached correctly you can now put the side panel back on and start burning, copying, playing or whatever your heart desires with your new installed optical drive.
How do you use the optical drives and Where can you use it?
In the real world optical drives are drives that we use more than printers, scanners or other things that. Optical drives are normally used to burn data to disc, read data from disc, program loading, and playing games. If you dont have the correct drive attached this may prevent you from doing some of those common things like burn cd's or dvd's. I know when I first started going to my school on the computers they had two optical drive set up the top one is set to master because it is the primary drive and the second one is set to slave because it functions as the secondary drive. I used it before when I need to burn some cd's. What I had to do was place the originally cd in the first drive and copy it to the computer and then place the blank cd in the second drive and burn it onto it. So you can use these optical drives wherever you need it.
