Secondary IDE Connector (40-pin block): IDE2

Two hard disks can be connected to each connector. The first HDD is referred
to as the “Master” and the second HDD is referred to as the “Slave”.
For best performance, we strongly suggest you don’t install a CD-ROM or DVD-
ROM drive on the same IDE channel as a hard disk. Otherwise, the system
performance on this channel will not be able to achieve its maximum ATA133
speed.
Serial-ATA Port connector: SATA1 / SATA2 / SATA3/ SATA4
