Note:
Refer to your disk drive users manual for information about
selecting proper drive switch settings.
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 system board supports Enhanced IDE or ATA-2, ATA/33 or
ATA/66 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 system board.
Important:
If you encountered 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.
2.7.6 Universal Serial Bus Ports
The system board is equipped with two
USB ports (J4 - Black) located at the
ATX double deck ports of the board.
USB allows data exchange between your
computer and a wide range of
simultaneously accessible external Plug
and Play peripherals. You must have the
proper drivers installed in your operating
system to use the USB ports. Refer to
your operating systems manual or
documentation.
