Hardware Installation
Adding a Second IDE Disk Drive
When using two IDE drives, one must be set as the master and
the other as the slave. Follow the instructions provided by the
drive manufacturer for setting the jumpers and/or switches on
the drives.
The system board suppor ts Enhanced IDE or ATA-2, ATA/33,
ATA/66, ATA/100 and ATA/133 hard drives. We recommend that
you use hard drives from the same manufacturer. In a few cases,
drives from two different manufacturers will not function prop-
erly when used together. The problem lies in the hard drives, not
the system board.
BIOS Setting
Enable or disable the onboard primary or secondary IDE con-
troller in the Integrated Peripherals submenu ("VIA OnChip IDE
Device" section) of the BIOS. Refer to chapter 3 for more infor-
mation.

Note:
Refer to your disk drive user's manual for information about
selecting proper drive switch settings.
Important:
If you encounter problems while using an ATAPI CD-ROM drive
that is set in Master mode, please set the CD-ROM drive to
Slave mode. Some ATAPI CD-ROMs may not be recognized and
cannot be used if incorrectly set in Master mode.
