About UltraDMA
This mainboard supports UltraDMA 33/66/100. UDMA is a
technology that accelerates the performance of devices in the
IDE channel. To maximize performance, install IDE devices
that support UDMA and use 80-pin IDE cables that support
UDMA 66/100.

Installing a Hard Disk Drive

1. Install the hard disk drive into the drive cage in your
Micro ATX system case.
2. Plug the IDE cable into IDE1 (A):
Note: The ribbon cable connectors are keyed so that they
can only be installed correctly on the device connec-
tor. If the connector is not keyed, make sure that you
match the pin-1 side of the cable connector with the
pin-1 side of the device connector. Each connector
has the pin-1 side clearly marked. The pin-1 side of
each ribbon cable is always marked with a colored
stripe on the cable.
