MS-6728 ATX Mainboard

ATA100 Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1 & IDE2

The mainboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE and Ultra DMA 66/100 controller

that provides PIO mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 66/100 function. You can

connect up to four hard disk drives, CD-ROM and other IDE devices.

The Ultra ATA100 interface boosts data transfer rates between the computer

and the hard drive up to 100 megabytes (MB) per second. The new interface is one-

third faster than earlier record-breaking Ultra ATA/100 technology and is backward

compatible with the existing Ultra ATA interface.

IDE1 (Primary IDE Connector)

The first hard drive should always be connected to IDE1. IDE1 can connect a Master

and a Slave drive. You must configure second hard drive to Slave mode by setting the

jumper accordingly.

IDE2 (Secondary IDE Connector)

IDE2 can also connect a Master and a Slave drive.

MSI Reminds You...

If you install two hard disks on cable, you must configure the second

drive to Slave mode by setting its jumper. Refer to the hard disk docu-

mentation supplied by hard disk vendors for jumper setting instructions.
