IDE Hard Disk Interface
The G586OPB system board is equipped with two PCI
IDE connectors that will interface four IDE (Integrated
Drive Electronics) hard disk drives. An IDE drive is a
hard drive with the controller electronics built into the
disk assembly. The integration of the controller and the
drive as a single unit increases both the reliability and
performance by eliminating redundant circuitry.
Note:
Only IDE drives can be connected to the IDE interface.
