Which goes on a PCI Controller Card? A DVD-Rom Drive, or a Zip Drive?

I have 2 HDD's hooked up to a PCI card controller, and I have lost my HDD LED
lights because of it and I have to hit F-Lock & F1 to get to the boot menues
after the computer beeps twice (on a Dell Dimension 4300) when it can't find a
hard drive on the IDE #1 chain. I have my new DVD Burner hooked up on the end of
a cable and a Zip Drive hooked up in the middle of the cable to IDE #1. I also
have a DVD-Rom Drive hooked up to IDE #2.
I want to put the 2 HDD's back onto IDE #1 so the HDD LED's work when there is
hard drive activity. The DVD burner made the LED lights work when playing back a
DVD, and it seemed to change intensity by the volume of the sound being played.
So it seems IDE #1 is the only place to get the LED lights to work.
So should I have the DVD Burner and the Zip Drive hooked up to IDE #2 and the
DVD-Rom hooked up to the PCI Controller card, or should I have the to DVD Drives
hooked up to IDE # 2 and the Zip Drive hooked up to the PCI card? I prefer to
keep the Zip Drive plugged into something for storing files with long file
names.
