ATA100 Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1 & IDE2
The mainboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE and Ultra DMA 66/100
controller that provides PIO mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 66/100
function. You can connect up to four hard disk drives, CD-ROM, 120MB
Floppy (reserved for future BIOS) and other devices.
The Ultra ATA100 interface boosts data transfer rates between the
computer and the hard drive up to 100 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.
IDE1 (Primary IDE Connector)
The first hard drive should always be connected to IDE1. IDE1 can
connect a Master and a Slave drive. You must configure second hard
drive to Slave mode by setting the jumper accordingly.
IDE2 (Secondary IDE Connector)
IDE2 can also connect a Master and a Slave drive.
MSI Reminds You...
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.
