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 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 the following figure. 2-19 Hardware Installation IDE2 (Secondary Channel) Slave (4th) Master (3rd) IDE1 (Primary Channel) Slave (2nd) Master (1st) 2. 3. 11 Panel Connector The Panel (multifunction) connector is a 20-pin connector marked as PANEL on the board. Attach the power LED, keylock, speaker, SPWR, IDE LED and reset switch to the corresponding pins as shown in the figure. If your ATX housing supports ACPI specification, the ACPI & Power the LED will keep flashing if you have enabled "suspend mode" item in the BIOS Setup. 1 GND NC +5V IDE LED IDE LED +5V +5V GND NC SPEAKER 11 SPWR GND ACPI & POWER LED GND +5V NC NC GND RESET GND 10 20 PANEL 1 Keylock 11 + + SPWR IDE LED + ACPI & + + + Power LED Speaker Reset 10 20 PANEL 2-20 Hardware Installation 2. 3. 12 IrDA Connector The IrDA connector can be configured to support wireless infrared module, with this module and application software such as Laplink or Win95 Direct Cable Connection, user can transfer files to or from laptops, notebooks, PDA and printers. This connector supports HPSIR (115. 2Kbps, 2 meters), ASK-IR (56Kbps) and Fast IR (4Mbps, 2 meters). Install infrared module onto IrDA connector and enable infrared function from BIOS setup, make sure to have correct orientation when you plug onto IrDA connector.

The pin 1-2 is Mono In, and the pin 3-4 is Mic Out. Please note that there is no standard for this kind of connector yet, only some internal modem cards implement this connector. Please see the pin definitions to connect the cable.

Since Internal Modem card consumes no power when system power is off, it is recommended to use Internal Modem. To use AOpen MP56, connect 4-pin cable from RING connector of MP56 to WOM connector on the mainboard.

Pin 1 The DIMM supported by this motherboard are always 64-bit wide SDRAM, which can be identified by the following factors: I. Size: single side, 1Mx64 (8MB), 2Mx64 (16MB), 4Mx64 (32MB), 8Mx64 (64MB), 16Mx64 (128MB), and double side, 1Mx64x2 (16MB), 2Mx64x2 (32MB), 4Mx64x2 (64MB), 8Mx64x2 (128MB).

This makes DRAM chip count an important factor to be taking into consideration when you install SIMM. Unfortunately, there is no way that BIOS can identified the correct chip count, you need to calculate the chip count by yourself. The simple rule is: By visual inspection, use only SIMM with chip count less than 24 chips. [. . . ]
