Chapter 2: Motherboard Installation
Floppy Disk Drive
The motherboard ships with a floppy disk drive cable that can
support one or two drives. Drives can be 3.5" or 5.25" wide, with
capacities of 360K, 720K, 1.2MB, 1.44MB, or 2.88MB.
Install your drives and connect power from the system power
supply. Use the cable provided to connect the drives to the floppy
disk drive connector FLOPPY.
IDE Devices
IDE devices include hard disk drives, high-density diskette drives,
and CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives, among others.
The motherboard ships with an IDE cable that can support one or
two IDE devices. If you connect two devices to a single cable,
you must configure one of the drives as Master and one of the
drives as Slave. The documentation of the IDE device will tell you
how to configure the device as a Master or Slave device. The
Master device connects to the end of the cable.
Install the device(s) and connect power from the system power
supply. Use the cable provided to connect the device(s) to the
Primary IDE channel connector IDE1 on the motherboard.
If you want to install more IDE devices, you can purchase a
second IDE cable and connect one or two devices to the Second-
ary IDE channel connector IDE2 on the motherboard. If you
have two devices on the cable, one must be Master and one must
be Slave.
