Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1 & IDE2
The mainboard has an IDE controller on the ICH chipset that provides
IDE HDD/CD-ROM with PIO, Bus Master and Ultra DMA66/100 operations
modes. It has two HDD connectors IDE1 (Primary) and IDE2 (Secondary).
You can connect up to four hard disk drives, CD-ROM or 120MB Floppy to
IDE1 and IDE2.
IDE1 (Primary IDE Connector)
- The first hard disk drive should always be connected to IDE1. You can
connect a Master and a Slave drive to IDE1.
IDE2 (Secondary IDE Connector)
- You can connect a Master and a Slave drive to IDE2.
TIP:
If you install two hard disks, you must configure the second drive to
Slave mode by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard disk
documentation for the jumper setting.
