Step 7 Attach Connectors,
Attach IDE Cable J9 and J10 are the IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) hard disk drive
connectors. The primary master and the primary slave IDE drives are connected
by cable to J10, as shown below.
J10 is a 40-pin dual-inline shrouded connector that connects an ATA IDE drive
to the primary onboard IDE connector. This motherboard supports IDE Mode 0
and LBA (Logical Block Address) mode, high capacity drives (over 528 MB),
32-bit data transfer, and fast IDE transfer. These IDE features are configured in
Peripheral Setup in the AMIBIOS Setup utility. Disable the onboard IDE
interface in Peripheral Setup to use an ISA ESDI, RLL, MFM, or SCSI hard
disk drive.
J9 is similar to J10 and can be used as an additional IDE connector.
