2.9.7 Universal Serial Bus Ports

The system board is equipped with two headers, at locations J2 and

J3 on the system board, for external USB ports. 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 these ports. Refer to your operating system’s manual or

documentation.

Adding a Second IDE Hard Drive

When using two IDE drives, one must be set as the master and the

other as the slave. Follow the instructions provided by the drive

manufacturer for setting the jumpers and/or switches on the drives.

We recommend that you use Enhanced IDE or ATA-2, ATA-3 and

Ultra DMA hard drives be 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.
