Hardware Installation
29
The system board supports Enhanced IDE or ATA-2, ATA/33 or
ATA/66 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.
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.
2.9.6 Universal Serial Bus Ports
The system board is equipped
with two USB ports (CN11 -
Black) located at the ATX
double deck ports of the board.
USB allows data exchange
between your computer and a
wide range of simultaneously
accessible external Plug and Play
peripherals. You must have the
proper drivers installed in your
operating system to use the
USB por ts. Refer to your
operating systems manual or
documentation.
