Floppy Disk Drive Connector: FLOPPY
The mainboard provides a standard floppy disk drive connector (FDD) that supports 360KB/
720KB/ 1.2MB/ 1.44MB/ 2.88 MB floppy disk drives using a FDD ribbon cable.
Hard Disk Drive Connectors: IDE
The mainboard provides one IDE connector that supports Ultra ATA 33/66/100/133 IDE
devices. You can attach a maximum of two IDE devices, such as hard disk drive (HDD),
CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, etc. using an IDE ribbon cable.
In general, two IDE devices can be attached onto one IDE connector. If you attach two IDE
HDDs, you must configure one drive as the master and the other one as the slave. In this case,
one optical device i.e., CD-ROM, DVD-ROM…etc. should be attached to this connector as
well.
SATA II Connector: SATA A0/A1/B0/B1
The four SATA II connectors support 3 Gbps transmit rate, and one SATA connector only can
attach one SATA HDD of each time using SATA cables.
