[. . . ] UDMA is a technology that accelerates the performance of devices in the IDE channel. To maximize performance, install IDE devices that support UDMA and use 80-pin IDE cables that support UDMA 33/66/100. Installing a Hard Disk Drive 1. Plug the IDE cable into IDE1 (A): 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. The pin-1 side of each ribbon cable is always marked with a 16 colored stripe on the cable. Plug an IDE cable connector into the hard disk drive IDE connector (B). Plug a power cable from the case power supply into the power connector on the hard disk drive (C). When you first start up your system, the BIOS should automatically detect your hard disk drive. If it doesn't, enter the Setup Utility and use the IDE Hard Disk Auto Detect feature to configure the hard disk drive that you have installed. Installing a CD-ROM/DVD Drive 1. If you have already installed an HDD, use the other connector on the IDE cable. 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. The pin-1 side of each ribbon cable is always marked with a colored stripe on the cable. Plug an IDE cable connector into the CD-ROM/DVD drive IDE connector (B). Plug a power cable from the case power supply into the power connector on the CD-ROM/DVD drive (C). Use the audio cable provided with the CD-ROM/DVD drive to connect to the mainboard CD-in connector CD1 or CD2 (D). When you first start up your system, the BIOS should automatically detect your CD-ROM/DVD drive. If it doesn't, enter the Setup Utility and configure the CD-ROM/DVD drive that you have installed. CD1 Pin 1 2 3 4 Signal Name CD IN L GND GND CD IN R Pin 1 2 3 4 CD2 Signal Name GND CD IN R GND CD IN L Installing a Floppy Diskette Drive 17 The mainboard has a floppy diskette drive (FLOPPY) interface and ships with a diskette drive ribbon cable that supports one or two floppy diskette drives. You can install a 5. 25-inch drive and a 3. 5-inch drive with various capacities. The floppy diskette drive cable has one type of connector for a 5. 25-inch drive and another type of connector for a 3. 5-inch drive. Install the FDD into the drive cage in your system case. Plug the FDD cable into FLOPPY (A): 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. The pin-1 side of each ribbon cable is always marked with a colored stripe on the cable. Plug the correct connector on the FDD cable for the 5. 25-inch or 3. 5-inch drive into the FDD connector (B). [. . . ] If the driver you want to install does not have a setup program, browse to the operating system subfolder and locate the readme text file (README. TXT or README. DOC) for information on installing the driver or software for your operating system. Utility Software Reference All the utility software available from this page is Windows compliant.
