will be levered upwards and latch on to the edges of the DIMM when
it is installed correctly.
Install a Hard Disk Drive and CD-ROM
This section describes how to install IDE devices such as a hard disk
drive and a CD-ROM drive.
Note:
Ribbon cable connectors are usually keyed so that they can
only be installed correctly on the device connector. If the
connector is not keyed make sure that you match the pin-1 side of
the cable connector with the pin-1 side of the device connector.
Each connector has the pin-1 side clearly marked. The pin-1 side
of each ribbon cable is always marked with a colored stripe on the
cable.
About IDE Devices.
Your mainboard has a primary IDE channel interface (IDE1) and a
secondary IDE interface (IDE2). The mainboard ships with one IDE
ribbon cable which supports one or two IDE devices. All IDE devices
have jumpers or switches that can be used to set the IDE device as
MASTER or SLAVE.
If you install two IDE devices on one cable, you must make sure that one
device is set to MASTER and the other device is set to SLAVE. The
documentation of your IDE device explains how to do this.
If you want to install more than two IDE devices, obtain a second IDE
cable and you can add two more devices to the secondary IDE channel.
If there are two devices on the cable, make one MASTER and one
SLAVE.
About UDMA
This board supports UltraDMA 33/66. UDMA is a technology that speeds
the performance of devices in the IDE channel. We recommend that you
install IDE devices that support UDMA, and use IDE cables that support
UDMA.
