Introducing Mainboard

2.7 Connectors

IDE1 

(Primary IDE Connector)

- IDE1 can only connect a HDD.

IDE2 

(Secondary IDE Connector)

- IDE2 can only connect a CD-ROM drive.

IDE Connectors: IDE1 & IDE2

The mainboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE and Ultra DMA 33/66/100/

133 controller that provides PIO mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA/33/66/
100/133 function.  The two connectors on the mainboard allows you to connect
to two IDE devices.

IDE1

IDE2

If you install two hard disks on cable, you must config-
ure the second drive to Slave mode by setting its jumper.
Refer to the hard disk documentation supplied by hard
disk vendors for jumper setting instructions.
