(9) Primary IDE Connector (40-pin block): IDE1
This connector supports the provided IDE hard disk ribbon cable. After connecting the single
plug end to motherboard, connect the two plugs at other end to your hard disk(s). If you install
two hard disks, you must configure the second drive to Slave mode by setting its jumpers
accordingly. Please refer to the documentation of your hard disk for the jumper settings.
(10) Secondary IDE Connector (40-pin block): IDE2
This connector connects to the next set of Master and Slave hard disks. Follow the same
procedure described for the primary IDE connector. You may also configure two hard disks to
be both Masters using one ribbon cable on the primary IDE connector and another ribbon cable
on the secondary IDE connector.
•
Two hard disks can be connected to each connector. The first HDD is referred to as the
"Master" and the second HDD is referred to as the "Slave".
•
For performance issues, we strongly suggest you don't install a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive
on the same IDE channel as a hard disk. Otherwise, the system performance on this channel may
drop.
(11) Third IDE Connector (40-pin block): IDE3 (Master Mode only)
This connector supports the provided IDE hard disk ribbon cable. After connecting the single
plug end to motherboard, connect the two plugs at other end to your hard disk(s). Because this

settings.
