Installing a Hard Disk Drive/SATA Hard Drive/
CD-ROM
This section describes how to install IDE devices such as a hard disk drive
SATA hard drive and a CD-ROM drive.
About IDE Devices
Your mainboard has a primary and secondary IDE channel interface (IDE1 and
IDE2). An IDE ribbon cable supporting two IDE devices is bundled with the main-
board.
If you want to install more than two IDE devices, get a second IDE cable and
you can add two more devices to the secondary IDE channel.
IDE devices have jumpers or switches that are used to set the IDE device as
MASTER or SLAVE. Refer to the IDE device user's manual. When installing two
IDE devices on one cable, ensure that one device is set to MASTER and the
other device is set to SLAVE. The documentation of your IDE device explains
how to do this.
About SATA Connectors
Your mainboard features two SATA connectors supporting a total of two drives.
SATA refers to Serial ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) is the standard
interface for the IDE hard drives which are currently used in most PCs. These
connectors are well designed and will only fit in one orientation. Locate the
SATA connectors on the mainboard (see page 22) and follow the illustration
below to install the SATA hard drives.
Installing Serial ATA Hard Drives
To install the Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives, use the SATA cable which sup-
ports the Serial ATA protocol. This SATA cable comes with an SATA power
cable. You can connect either end of the SATA cable to the SATA hard drive or
the connecter on the mainboard.
