2. 3. 9 IDE Hard Disk and CD ROM
This mainboard supports two 40 pin IDE connectors marked as IDE1 and IDE2. IDE1 is also known as primary channel and IDE2 as secondary channel, each channel supports two IDE devices that make total of four devices. In order to work together, the two devices on each channel must be set differently to master and slave mode, either one can be hard disk or CDROM. The setting as master or slave mode depends on the jumper on your IDE device, please refer to your hard disk and CDROM manual accordingly. Connect your first IDE hard disk to master mode of the primary channel. If you have second IDE device to install in your system, connect it as slave mode on
