N Flash BIOS
The Mainboard Flash BIOS provides users with more flexibility
in upgrading their mainboards. The flash BIOS can be easily
reprogrammed via software.
O Floppy Drive Header
The Mainboard provides a 34-pin header that supports the
included floppy drive ribbon cable. After connecting the single
end to the on-board “FLOPPY” header, connect the remaining
plugs on the other end of the cable to the corresponding
floppy drives.
P IDE Device Headers
The Mainboard provides two independent bus-mastering PCI
IDE interfaces capable of supporting up to Mode 4 and Ultra
DMA-33/66/100 devices. The system BIOS supports automatic
detection of the IDE device data transfer rate and translation
between different kinds of device modes such as Logical Block
Addressing (LBA), Extended Cylinder Sector Head (ECSH)
translation modes and ATAPI (e.g., CD-ROM) devices on both
IDE interfaces.
The two on-board IDE headers support the provided 80-pin IDE
hard disk ribbon cables. If you install two hard disks and/or
CD-Rom drives onto the same cable, you must configure the
two drives by setting their IDE master/slave jumpers according
to the documentation for those devices.
You may also connect the two hard disk drives so that both
become Masters, using one ribbon cable on the primary IDE
header and one on the secondary IDE header.
