IDE1 is also known as the primary channel and IDE2 as the secondary channel. Each channel supports two IDE devices that
make a total of four devices. In order to work together, the two devices on each channel must be set differently to Master and
Slave mode. Either one can be the hard disk or the CDROM. The setting as master or slave mode depends on the jumper on
your IDE device, so please refer to your hard disk and CDROM manual accordingly.
This motherboard supports ATA33,
modes. The IDE bus is 16-bit, which means every transfer is two bytes.

Tip:
1.
For better signal quality,
it is recommended to set
the far end side device
to
master
mode
and
follow
the
suggested
sequence to install your
new device. Please refer
to above diagram
2.
To
achieve
the
best
performance
of
Ultra
DMA 66/100 hard disks,
a special 80-wires IDE
cable
for
Ultra
DMA
66/100 is required.
