Hardware Installation
Important:
If you encountered 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.
BIOS Setting
Con
fi
gure the onboard IDE in the Integrated Peripherals submenu (“OnChip IDE
Device” section) of the BIOS. Refer to chapter 3 for more information.
Note:
Refer to your disk drive user’s 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, 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 properly when used together. The problem lies in the hard drives,
not the system board.
