9 Chapter 22.2.2 IDE, CDROM hard drive connector (CN9)The board provides 1 IDE channels which you can attach up to twoEnhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives or CDROM tothe boardís internal controller. Its IDE controller uses a PCI interface.This advanced IDE controller supports faster data transfer, PIO mode 4,Multi-word DMA mode 2 and an UltraDMA-33 interface.2.2.2.1 Connecting the hard driveConnecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion. This package includesOne 44PIN IDE cable that can connect to 1.8" and 2.5" drives.1. Connect one end of the cable to Hard Drive connector. Make surethat the red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector,which is labeled on the board (on the right side).2. Plug the other end of the cable into the Enhanced IDE hard drive,with pin 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the hard drive.(See your hard driveís documentation for the location of the con-nector.)If desired, connect a second drive as described above.Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect to either end of thecable. If you install two drives, you will need to set one as the master andone as the slave by using jumpers on the drives. If you install only onedrive, set it as the master.2.2.3 Solid State DiskThe board provides a CompactFlashô card type I/II socket.2.2.3.1 CompactFlash (CN10)The CompactFlash card shares a secondary IDE channel which can beenabled/disabled via the BIOS settings.2.2.4 Parallel port connector (CN5)Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer. Theboard includes a multi-mode (ECP/EPP/SPP) parallel port accessed viaCN5 and a 50-pin flat-cable connector. You will need an adapter cable ifyou use a traditional DB-25 connector. The adapter cable has a 50-pinconnector on one end, and a DB-25 connector on the other.The parallel port is designated as LPT1, and can be disabled in the systemBIOS setup.The parallel port interrupt channel is designated to be IRQ7.You can select ECP/EPP DMA channel via BIOS setup.
