Installing a Hard Disk Drive/CD-ROM

This section describes how to install IDE devices such as a hard disk drive
and a CD-ROM drive.
About IDE1 and IDE2 Devices
Your mainboard has a primary and secondary IDE channel interface (IDE1 and
IDE2). An IDE ribbon cable supporting two IDE devices is bundled with the main-
board.
If you want to install more than two IDE devices, get a second IDE cable and
you can add two more devices to the secondary IDE channel.
IDE devices have jumpers or switches that are used to set the IDE device as
MASTER or SLAVE. Refer to the IDE device user's manual. When installing two
IDE devices on one cable, ensure that one device is set to MASTER and the
other device is set to SLAVE. The documentation of your IDE device explains
how to do this.
About UltraDMA
This mainboard supports Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133. UDMA is a technology
that accelerates the performance of devices in the IDE1 and IDE2 channel. To
maximize performance, install IDE devices that support UDMA and use 80-pin
IDE cables that support UDMA 33/66/100/133.
Installing a Hard Disk Drive
1. Install the hard disk drive into the drive cage in your system case.
2. Plug the IDE cable into IDE1
(A):
Note: Ribbon cable connectors
are usually keyed so that they can
only be installed correctly on the
device connector. If the connector
is not keyed, make sure that you
match the pin-1 side of the cable
connector with the pin-1 side of the
device connector. Each connector
has the pin-1 side clearly marked.
The pin-1 side of each ribbon ca-
ble is always marked with a
colored stripe on the cable.
