Installing a Hard Disk Drive/CD-ROM

This section describes how to install IDE devices such as a hard disk drive
and a CD-ROM drive.
About IDE1 and IDE2 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 UltraDMA
This mainboard supports UltraDMA 66/100/133. UDMA is a technology that
accelerates the performance of devices in the IDE channel. To maximize per-
formance, install IDE devices that support UDMA and use 80-pin IDE cables
that support UDMA 66/100/133.
