Hard Disk 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. You can connect up to four hard disk drives, CD-ROM, or other devices.
IDE1
(Primary IDE Connector)
The first hard drive should always be connected to IDE1. IDE1 can connect a
Master and a Slave drive. You must configure second hard drive to Slave mode by
setting the jumper accordingly.

(Secondary IDE Connector)
IDE2 can also connect a Master and a Slave drive.

If you install two hard disks on cable, you must configure 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.
Chassis Intrusion Switch Connector: JCI1
This connector is connected to a 2-pin chassis switch. If the
chassis is opened, the switch will be short. The system will record
this status and show a warning message on the screen. To clear
the warning, you must enter the BIOS utility and clear the record.
