IDE RAID Connectors: IDE3 & IDE4 (Pro266TD Master-LR)
The mainboard offers a low-cost RAID (Redundant Array of Indepen-
dent Disks) solution by integrating two IDE RAID connectors that support
PIO mode 0-4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 33/66/100 modes. The IDE RAID
connectors allow you to connect Ultra ATA/DMA hard disks and use RAID
technology for high performance, data security and fault tolerance. The con-
nectors support RAID 0 (striping) and RAID 1 (mirroring).
IDE RAID Connectors
- You can connect a Master and a Slave drive to each IDE RAID connector.
- The two connectors support hard disk drives only.
- For more information on IDE RAID, please refer to IDE RAID Manual.
(Please note only two of the installed hard disk drives will adopt RAID function,
and usually they are Master drives.)
If you install two hard disks on cable, you must configure the
second drive to Slave mode by setting its jumper. Refer to the
TIP hard disk documentation supplied by hard disk vendors for
jumper setting instructions.
