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.

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.

The four SATA II connectors support 3 Gbps transmit rate, and one SATA connector only can
