Components and Jumper Setting

Primary IDE connectors

The two 40-pin IDE connectors (primary and secondary channels)

support 80-conductor IDE ribbon cables. Connect the single connector

end to the Mainboard. Then, connect the two connectors at the other

end to your IDE device(s). If you connect two hard disks to the same

cable, you must set the second drive as a Slave through its jumper

settings. Refer to the IDE device’s documentation for the specific jumper

settings. (Pin 20 is removed to prevent the connector from being in-

serted in the wrong orientation when using ribbon cables with pin 20

plugged in). The BIOS supports Ultra DMA 33/66/100.

Floppy Disk Drive Connector

This 34-pin connector supports the standard floppy disk drive rib-

bon cable. Connect the single connector end to the Mainboard. Then,

plug the other end of the ribbon into the floppy drive. Make sure you

align the Pin 1 on the connector with the Pin 1 alignments on the

Mainboard and the floppy drive.

IMPORTANT

Ribbon cables should always be connected with the red stripe on the

Pin 1 side of the connector. IDE ribbon cables must be less than 46 cm

(18 inches) long, with the second drive connector no more than 15 cm

(6 inches) away from the first connector.
