All sata drives are master, you connect the data cable to the motherboard and you connect the power cable to a spare sata power connector, if you don't have a spare sata one, you will need to get an adaptor for it.
This link will show you a view of the drive with the required connections and the adaptor lead if needed, from this you can see how it all goes together.> http://www.pcuser.com.au/pcuser/hs2.nsf/lookup+1/24638762FF8DE2DDCA257132000A31A9
