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 UltraDMA 66/100/133. UDMA is a technology that
accelerates the performance of devices in the IDE channel. To maximize per-
formance, install IDE devices that support UDMA and use 80-pin IDE cables
that support UDMA 66/100/133.
Installing a Floppy Diskette Drive
The mainboard has a floppy diskette drive (FDD) interface and ships with a
diskette drive ribbon cable that supports one or two floppy diskette drives. You
can install a 5.25-inch drive and a 3.5-inch drive with various capacities. The
floppy diskette drive cable has one type of connector for a 5.25-inch drive and
another type of connector for a 3.5-inch drive.
You must orient the cable connector so that the pin 1 (color) edge of the
cable corresponds to the pin 1 of the I/O port connector.
FDD1: Floppy Disk Connector
This connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cable. After connect-
ing the single end to the onboard floppy connector, connect the remaining
plugs on the other end to the floppy drives correspondingly.
