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.
