FDD Connector: FLOPPY
This motherboard includes a standard FDD connector, supporting 360K, 720K,
1.2M, 1.44M, and 2.88M FDDs.
IDE Connectors: PIDE, SIDE1(optional)
The PIDE connector supports Ultra ATA 133/100/66 IDE hard disk drives. The
SIDE1 connector supports Ultra ATA 100/66 IDE hard disk drives. The PIDE,
SIDE1 also support RAID function.
Connect the cable’s blue connector to the IDE connector, then connect the gray
connector to the slave device (hard disk drive) and the black connector to the
Ultra ATA master device. If you install two hard disks, you must configure the
second drive as a slave device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard
disk documentation for the jumper settings.
Attention:
Ribbon cables are directional, therefore, make sure to always
connect with the cable on the same side as pin 1 of the PIDE/RIDE
or FLOPPY connector on the motherboard.
Note:
We strongly recommend that you use 350 W power supply or above.
If you use the Dual PCI Express Graphics Cards, we recommend
that you use 500W power supply or above.
