problem setting up dvd drive

[MaiYeuEm21st]

i need helping building my new computer. i have a MB ASUS K8V SE DELUXE K8T800 motherboard. I brought a DVD|SONY16X DDU1613 OEM and a DVD+/-RW 16x+|NEC ND-3500A BG. The dvd and the DVD+/-RW don't come with anything, just the drive.
i was in the pocess of building it but i don't know how to set it up with my motherboard. Can anybody help me set it up? Do i need to buy any extra weird?

The only things you need are an ide cable to connect it to the mobo and one molex connector from the power supply.

Also pay attention as to the master/slave configuration if using more than one drive

[not important]

The MotherBoard should have came with 2 IDE ribbon cables.

i don't know what the ide cable look like. i have a few cable left from my build but i don't think they have a name on them. where can i tell which cable is the ide cable?

just look at the stuff and i found the IDE cable. I only have one IDE cable.

pug the cable to the motherboard, dvd drive, and the extra drive. then i pug the power supply to each drive. Is this all i have to do?

How do I configuration master/slave? it is in the bio?

If the IDE cable is a 80 wire cable, set the drive jumpers to CS (cable select) and put the DVD burner on the black connector and the hard drive on the grey connector. The blue connector goes to the motherboard. This will set up the drives as DVD burner master, hard drive slave.
