Hardware Installation

2.7.5 IDE Disk Drive Connector

The system board is equipped with two shrouded PCI IDE headers

that will interface four Enhanced IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics)

disk drives. To prevent improper IDE cable installation, each shrouded

PCI IDE header has a keying mechanism. The 40-pin connector on

the IDE cable can be placed into the header only if pin 1 of the

connector is aligned with pin 1 of the header. You may enable or

disable the onboard primary or secondary IDE controller in the

Integrated Peripherals submenu of the BIOS.

Connecting the IDE Disk Drive Cable

1. If you are connecting two IDE

drives, install the 40-pin

connector of the IDE cable

into the primary shrouded

IDE header (J9). If you are

adding a third or fourth IDE

device, install the 40-pin

connector of the other IDE

cable into the secondar y

shrouded IDE header (J10).

2. Install the other 40-pin header

connector(s) into the device

with the colored edge of the ribbon cable aligned with pin 1 of

the drive edge connector(s).

Note:

Refer to your disk drive users manual for information about

selecting proper drive switch settings.

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 supports Enhanced IDE or ATA-2, ATA/33,

ATA/66 and ATA/100 hard drives. We recommend that you use

hard drives from the same manufacturer. In a few cases, drives from
