Install Other Devices

Install and connect any other devices in the system following the steps below.
Floppy Disk Drive
Install your drives and connect power from the system power supply. Use the
cable to connect the drives to the floppy disk drive connector FDD1.
IDE Devices
IDE devices include hard disk drives, high-density diskette drives, and CD-ROM
or DVD-ROM drives, among others.
The motherboard ships with an IDE cable that can support one or two IDE devices.
If you connect two devices to a single cable, you must configure one of the drives
as Master and one of the drives as Slave. The documentation of the IDE device will
tell you how to configure the device as a Master or Slave device. The Master device
connects to the end of the cable.
Install the device(s) and connect power from the system power supply. Use the
cable provided to connect the device(s) to the Primary IDE channel connector IDE1
on the motherboard.
If you want to install more IDE devices, you can purchase a second IDE cable and
connect one or two devices to the Secondary IDE channel connector IDE2 on the
motherboard. If you have two devices on the cable, one must be Master and one
must be Slave.
