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 functions. You can connect up to four hard disk drive, CD-ROM,
LS-120 and other devices. These connectors utilize the provided IDE hard
disk cable.
IDE1 (Primary IDE Connector)
The first hard drive should always be connected to IDE1. IDE1 can
connect a Master and a Slave drive. You must configure the second
hard drive to Slave mode by setting the jumper accordingly.
IDE2 (Secondary IDE Connector)
IDE2 can also connect a Master and a Slave drive.
TIP: 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.
