Adding a Second IDE Disk Drive
When using two IDE drives, one must be set as the master and the
other as the slave. Follow the instructions provided by the drive
manufacturer for setting the jumpers and/or switches on the drives.
The mainboard supports Enhanced IDE or ATA-2, ATA/33, ATA/66,
ATA/100 and ATA/133 hard drives. We recommend that you use
hard drives from the same manufacturer. In a few cases, drives from
two different manufacturers will not function properly when used
together. The problem lies in the hard drives, not the mainboard.
Important:
If you encounter problems while using an ATAPI CD-ROM drive
that is set in Master mode, please set the CD-ROM drive to
Slave mode. Some ATAPI CD-ROMs may not be recognized and
cannot be used if incorrectly set in Master mode.
