IDE Hard Disk Support
The board comes with an enhanced IDE controller that supports PIO mode 4 and Ultra DMA (Direct Memory
Access) mode data transfers. In addition, two EIDE interfaces are mounted on the system board supporting a
maximum of four IDE hard disks, or any other IDE devices. See Figure 2-1 for the location of the IDE interfaces.
