MMootthheerrbbooaarrdd DDeessccrriippttiioonn Jumpers, Headers, Connectors & Slots Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1/ IDE2 The motherboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE Controller that provides PIO Mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA / 33/ 66/ 100/ 133 functionality. It has two HDD connectors IDE1 (primary) and IDE2 (secondary). The IDE connectors can connect a master and a slave drive, so you can connect up to four hard disk drives. The first hard drive should always be connected to IDE1. Floppy Disk Connector: FDD1 The motherboard provides a standard floppy disk connector that supports 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types. This connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cables. Communication Network Riser Slot: CNR1 The CNR specification is an open Industry Standard Architecture, and it defines a hardware scalable riser card interface, which supports modem only. Peripheral Component Interconnect Slots: PCI1-3 This motherboard is equipped with 3 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect, and it is a bus standard for expansion cards. This PCI slot is designated as 32 bits. Accelerated Graphics Port Slot: AGP1 Unlike the mouse ports, keyboard ports and printer ports, this motherboard does not have built in video facilities; and therefore, requires a video card for one of the expansion slots. Your monitor will attach directly to that video card. Tis motherboard supports video cards for PCI, but is also equipped with an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP). An AGP card will take advantage of AGP technology for improved video efficiency and performance, especially with 3D graphics. 5
