Connectors

Floppy Disk Drive Connector: FDD1
This standard FDD1 connector supports 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy
disk types.
ATA133 Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1 & 2
The mainboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE and Ultra DMA 66/100/133 controller that
provides PIO mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 66/100/133 function. You can
connect hard disk drives, CD-ROM and other IDE devices. The Ultra ATA133 interface
boosts data transfer rates between the computer and the hard drive up to 133 mega-
bytes (MB) per second. The new interface is one-third faster than earlier record-
breaking Ultra ATA100 technology and is backwards compatible with the existing Ultra
ATA interface.
IDE1 (Primary IDE Connector)
The first hard drive should always be connected to IDE1. IDE1 can connect a Master
and a Slave drive. You must configure the second hard drive to Slave mode by setting
the jumper accordingly.
IDE2 (Secondary IDE Connector)
IDE2 can also connect a Master and a Slave drive.
