2.4 Connector Description
2.4.1 Primary/Secondary IDE Connectors
This motherboard supports two
If you intend to operate two IDE devices from the same channel, one device must be set to “Master” mode and the other to “Slave” mode. A Hard Disk Drive, CD ROM Drive or other IDE device can have either setting, depending on device’s jumper setting. Please refer to the device’s manual for more information.
NOTE: The Connectors must be attached to the IDE channels correctly. Make sure that the red stripe on the edge of the ribbon cable (this may be faint and could be a dotted line) is the nearest to PIN 1 (on the left as the motherboard is shown in the picture below).
