IDE
One IDE interface is available to connect up to two IDE devices, such as hard disks and CD-
ROM drives. If the on-board CompactFlash is configured for use, only one other IDE device can
be attached to the IDE controller. Connector J8 provides the interface to the IDE controller.
Jumper V2[1-2] determines if the CompactFlash plugged into J5 is the master device or slave.
Use CMOS Setup to specify the drive parameters of the attached drives.
Warning!
Cable length must be 18" or less to maintain proper signal integrity.
