Ide Connectors: Ide1 & Ide2; Serial Ata Raid 0, 1 Connectors: Sata1, Sata2 (For Pt880/Pt8 Neo-V); Fan Power Connector: Cpufa1; Cd-In Connector: Jcd1 - MSI MS-7043 User Manual

IDE Connectors: IDE1 & IDE2
The mainboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE and Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133 controller that provides
PIO mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133 function. You can connect up to four hard
disk drives, CD-ROM, 120MB Floppy and other devices.
The first hard drive should always be connected to IDE1.
IDE1 can connect a Master and a Slave drive. You must configure second hard drive to Slave mode by
setting the jumper accordingly. IDE2 can also connect a Master and a Slave drive.
MSI Reminds You...
If you install two hard disks on cable, you must configure the second drive to Slave mode by setting its
jumper. Refer to the hard disk documentation supplied by hard disk vendors for jumper setting
instructions.

Serial ATA RAID 0, 1 Connectors: SATA1, SATA2 (for PT880/PT8 Neo-V)

The southbridge VIA VT8237 provides a hybrid solution that combines two independent SATA ports for
support of up to two Serial ATA (Serial ATA RAID) drives and supports RAID
levels 0 or 1 for easy management of the storage subsystems. Both connectors
support 1st generation serial ATA data rate of 150 MB/s and are fully compliant
with Serial ATA 1.0 specifications.

Fan Power Connector: CPUFA1

The CPUFA1 (processor fan) supports system cooling fan with +12V. It supports three-pin head
connector. When connecting the wire to the connectors, always note that the red wire is the positive
and should be connected to the +12V, the black wi r e is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the
mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan
with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.
MSI Reminds You...
Always consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.

CD-In Connector: JCD1

The connector is for CD-ROM audio connector.
