primary IDE connector on the motherboard, a black connector for an Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE slave device (optical drive/hard disk drive), and a gray connector for an Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE master device (hard disk drive). If you install two hard disk drives, you must configure the
second drive as a slave device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard disk documentation for the jumper settings.

This connector is for the provided floppy disk drive (FDD) signal cable. Insert one end of the cable to this connector, then connect the other end to the signal connector at the back of the floppy disk drive.
Pin 5 on the connector is removed to prevent incorrect cable connection when using an FDD cable with a covered Pin 5.
• Pin 20 on the IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on the Ultra DMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect insertion when you connect the IDE cable.
• Use the 80-conductor IDE cable for Ultra DMA 100/66 IDE devices.

These connectors are for Ultra ATA 133/100/66 signal cables. These connectors support up to four IDE hard disk drives that can be
configured as a disk array through the onboard IDE RAID controller. Refer to Chapter 5 for details on how to set up RAID configurations.
• Before creating a RAID set using Ultra ATA hard disks, make sure that you have connected the Ultra ATA signal cable and installed Ultra ATA 133/100/66 hard disk drives.
• The system automatically assigns the boot sequence of ATAPI devices connected to the IDE RAID connectors.
• The ITE® 8212F controller supports a maximum of 2 Ultra ATA hard
disk drives.
• Set both drives either as Master or Slave before configuring a RAID 1 set.

These connectors are set to IDE mode by default. In IDE mode, you can connect IDE devices to these connectors such as boot/data hard disk drives or optical drives. If you intend to create an IDE RAID set using these connectors, set the I T E 8 2 1 2 F C o n t r o l l e rI T E 8 2 1 2 F C o n t r o l l e rI T E 8 2 1 2 F C o n t r o l l e rI T E 8 2 1 2 F C o n t r o l l e rI T E 8 2 1 2 F C o n t r o l l e r item in the BIOS to RAID Mode.

These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk drives.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can can create a RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration with the Intel® Matrix Storage Technology
through the onboard Intel® ICH6R RAID controller. Refer to Chapter 5
for information on creating a RAID configuration.

• These connectors support the Intel® Matrix Storage Technology.
• The Serial ATA RAID feature (RAID 0, RAID 1) is available only if you are using Windows® 2000/XP.
• Install the Windows® 2000 Service Pack 4 or the Windows® XP
Service Pack1 before using Serial ATA.
• Use only a maximum of 2 ports for each RAID 0 or RAID 1 set. • Plug your Serial ATA boot disk on the master port (SATA1 and
SATA2) to support S3 function. Refer to the table below for details.
