The motherboard contains two USB connectors, which are marked as USB. PCB USB 2-11 Hardware Installation 2. 3. 9 Floppy Drive Connect the 34-pin floppy drive cable to the floppy drive connector marked as FDC on the system board. 2 1 34 33 FDC 2. 3. 10 IDE Hard Disk and CD ROM This mainboard supports two 40 pin IDE connectors marked as IDE1 and IDE2. IDE1 is also known as primary channel and IDE2 as secondary channel, each channel supports two IDE devices that makes total of four devices. In order to work together, the two devices on each channel must be set differently to master and slave mode, either one can be hard disk or CDROM. The setting as master or slave mode depends on the jumper on your IDE device, please refer to your hard disk and CDROM manual accordingly. Connect your first IDE hard disk to master mode of the primary channel. If you have second IDE device to install in your system, connect it as slave mode on the same channel, and the third and fourth device can be connected on secondary channel as master and slave mode respectively. 2 1 40 39 IDE2 2 1 40 39 IDE1 2-12 Hardware Installation Caution: The specification of IDE cable is maximum 46cm (18 inches), make sure your cable does not excess this length. Caution: For better signal quality, it is recommended to set far end side device to master mode and follow the suggested sequence to install your new device. Please refer to following figure. IDE2 (Secondary Channel) Slave (4th) Master (3rd) IDE1 (Primary Channel) Slave (2nd) Master (1st) 2. 3. 11 SCSI Devices Connect your SCSI devices to the on board 68-pin WIDE-SCSI or 50-pin SCSI connector. 2 1 50 49 SCSI 2 1 68 67 WIDE-SCSI 2-13 Hardware Installation 2. 3. 12 Hard Disk LED The HDD LED connector is marked as HDD LED on the board. This connector is designed for different type of housing, actually only two pins are necessary for the LED. If your housing has four pin connector, simply plug it in. If you have only two pin connector, please connect to pin 1-2 or pin 3-4 according to the polarity.
