Connectors

Floppy Disk Drive Connector: FDD1

This standard FDD connector supports 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy

disk types.

ATA133 Hard Disk Connector: IDE1

The mainboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE and Ultra DMA 66/100/133 controller

that provides PIO mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 66/100/133 function. You can

connect hard disk drives, CD-ROM and other IDE devices.

The Ultra ATA133 interface boosts data transfer rates between the computer and the

hard drive up to 133 megabytes (MB) per second. The new interface is one-third

faster than earlier record-breaking Ultra ATA/100 technology and is backwards

compatible with the existing Ultra ATA interface.

Important

If you install two hard disks on cable, you must configure the second drive to

Slave mode by setting its jumper. Refer to the hard disk documentation

supplied by hard disk vendors for jumper setting instructions.
