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
documentation supplied by hard disk vendors for jumper setting
instructions.
Serial Port Header: JCOM1 (Optional)
The mainboard offers one 9-pin header as serial port. The port is a 16550A high
