Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1 & IDE2
The mainboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE and Ultra DMA
33/66/100 controller that provides PIO mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ul-
tra DMA/33/66/100 function. It has two HDD connectors: IDE1
(Primary) and IDE2 (Secondary). You can connect up to four hard disk
drives, CD-ROM or 120MB Floppy to IDE1 and IDE2.
IDE1 (Primary IDE Connector)
- The first hard disk drive should always be connected to IDE1. You can
connect a Master and a Slave drive to IDE1.
IDE2 (Secondary IDE Connector)
- You can connect a Master and a Slave drive to IDE2.
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.
