Mainboard User's Manual
Floppy Disk Drive
The mainboard ships with a floppy disk drive cable that can
support one or two drives. Drives can be 3.5" or 5.25" wide, with
capacities of 360K, 720K, 1.2MB, 1.44MB, or 2.88MB.
Install your drives and connect power from the system power
supply. Use the cable provided to connect the drives to the floppy
disk drive header FDD1.
IDE Devices
IDE devices include hard disk drives, high-density diskette drives,
and CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives, among others.
The mainboard 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 mainboard.
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 mainboard. If you have two
devices on the cable, one must be Master and one must be Slave.
Internal Sound Connections
If you have installed a CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive, you
can connect the drive audio cable to the onboard sound system.
On the mainboard, locate the two 4-pin connectors CDIN1 and
CDIN2. There are two kinds of connector because different brands
of CD-ROM drive have different kinds of audio cable connectors.
Connect the cable to the appropriate connector.
